Blue Box Glitch

UPDATE: issues have been fixed after repairing game, removing mods out of the folder then re-adding them!

 I just opened up my sims game for the first time in about a week and when I go to load/play one of my households I get this blue box that shows up. I click on the household to load the game but it will show the loading screen for a few seconds before bringing me back to the map again. I’ve tried loading a different household and that one doesn’t seem to load at all and will be stuck in the loading screen.

The only mods (I think this is a mod at least) I play with are food mods that allow my sims to cook more recipes than what the game itself provides. The only other modifications I make to my game is downloading CC items. I tried removing my mod folder and it let me load the glitching blue box save but of course then my sim looks fresh out of the womb as all the clothes, hair, makeup, etc. is gone as well as half the stuff in her house. I tried putting the CC back while leaving the food stuff out and it’s still glitching out. 

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here as I’ve never had this happen even after a Sims update has taken place. Also want to note I recently moved my entire game onto an external hard drive so I’m not sure if that’s what caused the issue but I’ve seen other people talking about these issues after the most recent update and they haven’t moved anything so I don’t think that was what caused it.

    Thanks for your reply. I’ve actually gotten it fixed since I last replied to you. I ended up repairing my game and removing the mods then putting them back in and everything works perfectly now.

    I actually had the blue box issue happen before removing the food mods and read online that mods could be the issue and to try removing it which is why I did. I ended up putting them back in the moss folder when I saw that it didn’t fix the issue. 

  • ayyyyeitsa​ Removing food mods can actually cause this if you have some of the food made with them in Sims' households or inventory. Check your food mods for updates. 

    And yes, removing CC will remove it from your game -- don't save when testing, or do a "save as".
