Ideas

solution to Get my cc to work after "Failure to launch "error!!

  1. in the EA app, top left side go to app recovery, clear cache.
  2. in your sims 4 folder, delete the localthumbcachefile.
  3. I had folders made and named for my cc files, place them back in the mods folder one at a time. 
  4. once in the mods folder, change the folder name to something different, example: 'skin tones' to 'skins'
  5. launch game. if the game loads in, exit out you don't have to save, and do the steps over again for each folder you want to put back in. 
  6. After three days of trying absolutely everything, this is the only way I was able to have my cc that I enjoy in the game to work. It is a long process but for me it's worth it because this game just isn't the same without cc and mod. sorry not sorry. and I refuse to play without custom skin overlays and 3d eyelashes lol. I have far more folders to go but I and now working on my build buy cc and so far, got Syb cc to work thank goodness because I use their cc in all my builds.  I hope this helps someone, I feel everyone's frustration and it sucks.  If this does help anyone, please pass it on so others who are struggling can maybe try it too. hopefully their a fix to the fail to launch error we all are experiencing

    Just to clarify, do every step again or just rename every folder you want back in the game? I tried this and its the only thing that has worked for me so thank you!
