Cannot launch game vanilla plus broken UI mods

About 20 days ago, I made a post about the same issue I’m still experiencing. Since then, an incredibly helpful person stepped in and guided me through my Mods folder. Together, we followed all the recommendations and removed everything that seemed problematic.  

However, I must have made a mistake along the way because I later realized my MC Command Center was broken—something just didn’t look right. I reached out to their Discord for help, and they informed me it was a UI conflict with another mod. Using Better Exceptions, I ran a UI report and removed several mods, including my loading screens, main menu screen, More Traits, and Cast More Columns. Just to be safe, I also took out UI Cheats.  

Despite all this, I still can’t launch my game, even in vanilla mode. I’m at a loss—what else do I need to remove?

    • Remove files with these file types from the Mods folder:
      • .rar
      • .blend
      • .sims3pack
      • .hhi, .sgi, .trayitem, .householdbinary - these belong in your Tray folder, not Mods
    • You also have a lot of files with January 1980 file dates. Try deleting and redownloading those.
    • Obscurus Child sliders are broken.
    • Delete the Resource.cfg file so the game generates a new one.
    • Pick which one version of this you want: LittleMsSam_GoForWalkFillsNeeds_Addon_LockedStats
    • Check your LUUMIA mods to make sure you don't have both old and updated versions of a mod.
    • Delete all KatieMods mods - they're broken
    • Delete Cien No EA Eyelashes and keep the Wightspider No EA Eyelashes
    • Pick either Bosselady Townie Overhaul or the Sim Spawn Overhaul mod - I'm 95% sure they conflict with each other - and make sure you're up to date on the one you pick
    • I wouldn't trust anything called "1.package". Delete files that you can't tell what they are.
    • You have a Waffle - GetFamousMilestone translation but not the actual mod it translates; delete that
    • You have a subfolder called Mods, which really, really confuses the game. Rename it.
    • You have some MCCC log and cfg files outside the mod's folder. Delete those.

     

     

  • Thank you so much again! I’m the absolute worst trying to figure out which ones are broken so thank you so so so much!
