I have tried removing my caches, taking out my saves and mods, and even restarting my game. I cannot load my saves. It takes me straight to the manage worlds screen when I try and load my game and even though I don't have the high school expansion pack, I cannot see the button for copperdale. what am I doing wrong?
Try a completely clean game and move ONE save back into the recreated folder. Instructions here - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M163
This happened after the last patch/update. It is continuing to do it and I haven't been able to play. It is frustrating. I deleted my cache, then when that didn't work, I have reinstalled origin and my game and expansion packs as well as my mods and previous save which was on July 12, 2022 and it has not fixed itself. I even started a new game and it won't even show copperdale etc..... I am getting frustrated
I need help
I have done that. And I even created a whole new game. No greyed out copperdale, and cannot place onto a lot, and cannot play a family/lot. Takes me back to my manage worlds screen
I have done all that. This is what I did
1.updated my mods
2.updated the game
3. Reinstalled my mods
when I couldn’t play….
4. Removed saves and mods
5. Repaired the game
6. moved my last save back in
when it didn’t work still
7. Moved my save out
8. uninstalled the sims 4 and all expansion packs
9. reinstalled it
when it still didn’t work
10. Uninstalled and reinstalled origin
11. after uninstalling the sims 4 I reinstalled it
12. repaired the game
13. made sure my mods were still updated but not in the folder
14. moved one save back in
and in the process, deleted the cache and everything
and it still doesn’t work
and now I moved it all back in because I’m frustrated. Even while doing all that I still couldn’t even see the greyed out version of copperdale. It’s not even on the manage world screen at all
I'm having the exact same issue as I type this. This is beginning to get really frustrating.

But you didn’t move the entire Sims 4 folder out of the Electronic Arts folder, you just moved out some cache files and mods. At least, in that list of what you have tried you haven’t stated that you did that.
Basic and simplest troubleshooting is moving or renaming the Sims 4 folder then repairing the game before launching the game and starting a brand new save to see if it still happens.
You’re also saying you’ve deleted cache files but which ones? Origin cache files?
please humour me and move out or rename the Sims 4 folder, then repair, then launch the game.
