I'm having trouble opening my game after adding custom content (CC) to the mods folder. The game opens fine when I remove all mods, but even adding just one piece of CC prevents it from opening. I've tried uninstalling the game and deleting Origin to start fresh, but the issue persists. I'm using a MacBook M1 2020. Can anyone help me with this problem?
HI @Bianca_reader Please try rebuilding the gameplay folders: Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole The Sims 4 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4 and start a New Game, and redo your Options. Now go to the new folders that the game created and add one piece of CC there. I would suggest making that a known-compatible item like something fairly new from Peacemaker.
@luthienrisingI appreciate your efforts to help me, but unfortunately, the solution did not work. I removed the Mod folder and added a single CC to it, but the game still does not open. At first, it opened normally, but when I closed it and tried to open it a second time, it did not open again. I have been trying to fix this issue for a month now, but I don't know what else to do. Can you suggest any other solutions or reasons why this might be happening? I'm not sure what is causing this problem.
Okay, if *every* piece of CC is doing this - you're testing freshly downloaded, newly created CC - then there's an issue likely in your installation. Try a game repair to see if that helps. You might also need to create a new Sims 4 folder (drag the old one to the desktop and let the game make a new one, redo the Options, copy back files from inside the old Saves and Tray folders).
@Bianca_reader Another possibility. Are you running this from an external drive? In that case, you could be dealing with a drive format that can't read .package files.
