To start off, yes I do own all the dlc packs of the items I chose to use, and no none of my other (CAS) cc is causing the problem (I checked both already). However this is the first time I’m using build & buy cc, so I may just be overlooking something. Anyways, the build & buy cc is making my game not respond / freeze and finally crash in the loading screen. I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. I already tried adding the build & buy cc in smaller batches to see if there is a particular file that is causing my problem, but so far I’ve come up with nothing. When I load the game without the build & buy cc the game loads like it normally would, if I then quit the game (after it has loaded without the build & buy cc) and then add the build & buy cc it also loads like it normally would. It even continues loading like it normally would when I restart my pc, which I think is weird, because when I completely shut my pc off for the day and turn it back on the following day it doesn’t respond / freezes and crashes again (and keeps crashing until I remove the build & buy cc). Does anyone know how to fix this? I would love to just be able to start up my game again without constantly having to remove, load the game without the build & buy cc, and then add the build & buy cc again.

If it does help, then put your cc back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem. Put one item or batch in , test the game , take it out. Then test another one, to see if you can find the cause of the issue.


Hi again. I did exactly as you suggested, sadly nothing came up. When I add the cc one by one (put one in, see of it works, take it out, remove the cache, put a new one in, etc. I even restarted my computer after each try) it loads just fine, no issues what so ever. Not even the build & buy part of the cc caused any issues when put in separately. But when I put all of the cc in the mods folder at the same time the game freezes again in the loading screen. It’s really confusing…
If you have any other ideas of what this might be, I would love to hear it.

Hello
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" and "custom music " folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder. Don’t place back the old mods folder. Instead of that, place the cc from the old mods folder into the new mods folder.
Then launch the game and see if the issues remain.
