all sims gone
Since the July 26th 2022 update, mods broke my game, but it was still largely playable. I went and deleted all the UI and script mods from my mods folder, then reloaded. All sims, from every world, every lot, all NPCs, are now all gone. All of them. I removed all my mods and CC, no dice - still gone. I repair the game on origin, they're still all gone. The 'Resume' button just shows a white silhoutte, with no message about my sim winning free earbuds or something. I know the game is still registering things in other folders because it will list any mods or CC I put in the folders at startup, it shows some saves if I put them in the saves folder, etc. It shows no error code or message. It just loads the game like normal, but all sims are gone. ALL OF THEM.
I am preparing to reinstall the game overnight, but I will have no clue what to do once it's re-installed and if it still doesn't work. This update is so frustrating. Has anyone else had this issue? I've encountered it before, but it was due to out of date mods because of a similar update. I went into gameplay options and unchecked mods and cc, so at base vanilla it's still faulty. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I have 2800 hours in this game ☹️
