Script mods breaking the game?
Is anyone else having issues with script mods? My game works great without custom content / mods. When I add just custom content but no script mods, the game says it can’t load but it loads. When I ad...

@Mindsimscreate It's also very important for people who use mods/cc to know that every time you change your mods folder you need to also delete the localthumbcache file in your Sims 4 folder. This file is somehow directly related to mod and cc functionality so when you take something out of your game, the file (I think) doesn't know and is still trying to connect the mod's functionality into your gameplay. I can't say I know for sure how it works, but what I do know, and from experience, is that even a single piece of CC can muck up households if that file isn't refreshed. The game will always generate a new localthumbcache file when you restart it, so it's disposable.
My personal recommendation to you is to first back up your Sims 4 folder by making a copy and keeping it somewhere in case anything goes wrong. It's also good to update this backup periodically and keep it going just in case anything ever happens to your game.
Next, remove the mods folder, put it aside, and delete the localthumbcache file.
Next, do a game repair in Origin.
Then, start your game to see if it loads okay and test your household but don't save it. If it seems okay, then test your mods individually (as you are doing) but make sure you delete that localthumbcache folder every single time you swap something out. I've gotten into the habit of deleting it regularly every time I'm about to start up my cc/modded game because I'm always adding cc. But even if you only add one single piece of CC or remove one, delete that file. It will refresh your cc/mods cache.
Good luck with your game and I hope this helps. ?
