Hi @fluffedragon sure, when using mods/cc, they need a lot of upkeep and make sure you don't have any cc for sims 3. Basically with a 50/50 you take out all mod folders and add them back (links below with a full description) or if just "some cc" take them all out and add them back 5 or so at a time, checking your game each time to see if its fixed. Each time, also delete the localthumcache file frim your sims 4 folder (one up from mods) as this can have residual problems and Origin remakes it when starting your game again.
...Mods and CC require maintenance to keep them in your game, if the modder has not updated it after a game patch/update it may be broken (you can check via the mod tracker for reported broken, etc mods). The process of culling & removing it, to find the broken mod is the only option though, you'll find it won't be 'all of them' but a few or even just 'one'..
After every patch or game update, this is a necessary process, to add your mods back to your game, folder by folder and starting it each time to test to see if it's ok to play. (nb: you should keep them separated for ease of checking, btw)
Seeing that you're new to using cc/mods please check my post here on maintaining your game. as there is many tips including the 50/50 method and tools to help you fix your game and how to find the broken mod/cc.
Hope this helps.
