I'm not sure how to actually do that without any confusion of storage issues since I got sims 4 on steam it's very hard to find information about the steam version of sims4 which is very frustrating because I was told it was the better version because of origin being buggy at the time
@PicklePizza6 There's no difference between the steam version and the origin version when it comes to the game itself or any mod issues.
Both version save all your user data to the document folder and instructions for origin/Ea app to remove mods apply to the steam version as well.
So try a factory reset 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.
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.
