Hey! Just wanted to chime in because I was dealing with the exact same issue and finally figured it out.
I tried literally everything first:
- cleared cache
- repaired the game
- tested with a fresh Sims 4 folder
- copy/pasted new folders
- and did a full 50/50 on my mods (I have about 1TB of CAS + Build/Buy CC, so yeah… this took a while lol)
After all that, I figured out the problem was some CAS CC not being compatible with DX11. My script mods and Build/Buy CC were totally fine, and even some CAS worked, but certain files would crash the game before it could even launch.
To double check, I ran my CC through Sims 4 Studio batch fixes (DX11), and the files that wouldn’t batch fix were the exact ones causing the issue.
Try running your CAS CC through Sims 4 Studio—anything that fails the batch fix is probably not DX11 compatible and can stop your game from launching.
- These are the files I found that were causing it for me (Deleted them):
- [AxA]-BlazerTurtleneckAcc.package
- [AxA]-ClaireSkirt_Denim.package
- [AxA]-CourtneyTop_Solids.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV1_Denim.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV1_Solids.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV1_TwoTone.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV2_Denim.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV2_Solids.package
- [AxA]-NaomiShortsV2_TwoTone.package
- [AxA]-RockyShorts.package
- Madlen Nineveh Shoes.package
- Madlen Safiya Shoes.package
- Madlen Sandy Swimsuit 1.package
- Madlen Sandy Swimsuit 2.package
- Madlen Yasu Shoes w Sock.package
Hopefully this works for someone!
