all mods are corrupted?
Hi, I'm having an issue with my game. Every time I try to start the game, it gives me this error, "Unable to start: Cannot start because the below file appears to be corrupted. If this file is a mod ...

Yes, it didn't work when I deleted the entire mods folder and deleted the localthumbcache file.
I have never heard of renaming the entire user folder, could you give me instructions on how to do this? I'd love to try and see if that helps. Thank you.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
