Need Help, Please

I have made a copy of my currently Sims4 game folder and placed it onto a Flash Drive, for safe-keeping. Then I made a copy of the original to create a vanilla game. I've even done a repair on it after I removed the mods folder. However, since I had a mod that extended the Starlight Accolades, which are supposed to run from 11AM until 11 PM, on the calendar it's set up to run from 11AM to 4 PM. Normally, without mods they run from 4PM to 11PM. This is the second time I had my Sim there just moments after 11AM. From my past experience, Things don't get started IE the Host doesn't show up, until closer to the 1PM hour. This time, with no Host ever showing up, the Awards concluded at 4PM. Worthless. The first time this happened I exited without saving and placed the mod into the vanilla game. Then I started it up again, and the awards show went on like normal. This doesn't bode well, that even after doing a game repair the time on the calendar is off.

Should I regenerate a game folder and move the saves and tray files over to fix this?

Or: Go ahead and play the modded game.

Or: Start over from scratch? I really don't wish to have to wait to play with Infants for another 5-6 weeks. But, if removing the mods messed up the game, I'm in a quandary. I had really hoped to get my YA couple married today. But that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Plus, the girls keep ending up bald. I gave them both some cc hair. I tried to change their hair out in the original save, before making the copy and they are still showing up, (likely when they change outfits) without hair. I'm beat up already.

Of the above options, what is my best bet, please? I truly never thought I'd find myself in this position.

    oh you have 5c copy of road to fame nice i have that one and seeing if it will work for my sim none of my sims have ever won a sims version of a Oscar.


    My Sim had to write songs, not lyrics. Then he licenses them one at a time. So far, he's been getting nominated every time he licenses a song, but he's a Global Superstar, too. He's been on quite a spree, that I had to restart, unfortunately. Lost the save where he was up for his 20th Best Song. Ho-hum. That was quite a ride. According to Carl's Guide, there is a 60% chance of the played Sim to win.
  • oh ok will try that. I think she wrote 2 songs by the mic not by road to menu.
  • Some mods also create files in the save folder or the save itself. I know of a few that do this, so this may be one of them and that's why it happens when you load that save file

    I'm not talking about the songs you can write by RTF. I'm talking about having your Sim sit down at the piano and write SONG, not lyrics. There are six songs on the piano; six songs on the digital organ thing (the portable one), five each on the guitar and violin. These are the songs Erik has written. As he was composing I just listened to them and gave it a title I thought matched the music. (I pretend he's written lyrics, but so far none he writes with lyrics are ever considered.) I would love it if EA gave GF a refresh to include lyrics and perhaps gave additional categories, too. Of course, it helps if you get your Sims to max each skill for those instruments. You can't license them until they are 9 at least. Erik has maxed them out, but then again he's a Musical Genius.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Try again. Make certain you submit a SONG, and not lyrics.

    Interesting, I did not know that. Is there anyway to check for them and remove them?
