Cas CC stops game from launching

I was updating my mods with the hope that the recent update fixed an issue I had in April. I got a pop up when trying to launch the game that says "Unable to start:   Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. Remove mods etc. Please repair or reinstall the game vis Origin"  I am a long time mod user and have never seen this. I took everything out then slowly added folders back into my mods folder to find the source of the problem. I narrowed it down to my CAS CC. It launches fine with my Gameplay mods. Then I removed my CAS CC files in chunks and tested the launch. It turns out, there is not a specific broken CC file, it simply will not launch if I have ANY cas mods. I can not find a solution. I found a post about this happening to people back in March and that an update fixed it, but not for me. I don't know what to do. I thought maybe the CAS mods were clashing with my Gameplay mods, but it won't open even if all that I have in my mods folder is the resource.cfg and a Wings hair cc file. 

What do I do??? I repaired my game twice and reddit is useless.

  • appl3pvp​ Have you been using an external drive at all? For many people, that's resulting in having to redownload all their CAS CC. 

    Another thing to try:

    • put some files straight in the Mods folder, not in a subfolder
    • if that works, manually make new subfolders to copy files into
