CC Corrupted

When for rent came out, I downloaded it straight away, and it was working fine with all my mods and CC.

A few days later, I noticed that I was unable to change the wall height or copy rooms - the buttons were there, but I could not click on them

So...

  • I removed my mods and CC
  • restarted the game
  • changed the wall height
  • and saved
  • exited
  • put everything back in to their folders

This all took less than 20 minutes, and within that 20 minutes mods that had previously worked, are no longer working. When I rebooted the game, I got an error saying I had a corrupted mod. It told me it was a Harrie Stockholm cushion. So I removed it. Then it told me it was a Harrie chair. So I removed all Harrie content. Then it told me it was something else, and it basically just went through my CC list saying whatever was up next was corrupted - even though it worked just an hour of so before.

 

In a rage and out of desperation, i repaired the game. Nothing. I uninstalled the game. Nothing. I have even factory reset my laptop, and reinstalled everything, and the game. NOTHING.

 

to be clear, I can get the game working, IF there are no mods in the mods folder but I cannot understand why the game thinks that there is something corrupt in there, when it worked fine before.

 

Am I going to have to build up all my CC from scratch?

 

Any ideas?

    I'm windows, and I don't have a new computer or OS, the only reason I wiped and reinstalled was in a last desperate attempt to get my game working with CC ☹️

    Hi @maymienell Could you please test a piece of CC in a clean folder? Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options. Exit, copy one piece of previously working CC into the new Mods folder and test that. If it doesn't work, please remove that CC, delete localthumbcache, redownload that file from the creator and try again. When I'm testing build/buy CC, I personally use recent releases from peacemaker or something from his well-maintained Mina set.
