Game broken due to mods

Hi, the newest update broke my game as well and I wanna share how I fix it cos it took me so many hours and this could help others who use CC. I have too many Mods, CC installed and so many of them are broken now. After update all my Occult sims was disappeared and had all kind of science fiction glitch I never seen before. The reason was the script "Occult stabilizator", after removing it that was fixed. Next I had problem with households, some of them couldn't load. The house in bild mode was ok, I could enter but not the live playing households. I figured those unplayable have something in common so I downloaded and installed Tray Importer and I save all my unplayable households in the gallery to check them trough Try Importer. Ofc, they had so many CC such as makeup, clothes, body pres, and update messed some of that. I deleted all my broken mods on households and after that, they was playable. How to use Tray importer can be found on YouTube. I think my biggest problems was mods with Body shapes so If anyone have that, remove it. Also, you need to check for all instaled scripts in Mods folder cos they are mostly the main reason for broken game - as I said at the beginning; my problem was Occult stabilizator. How to search for scripts in mod folder can also be found on YouTube. I also installed Sims 4 Mod Manager and started to use it in order to help myself with searching for broken Mods. I really hope my story helps someone and wish you all good luck with fixing and positive vibes from Croatia.

    Also, I had a lots of careers installed  and after removing it my Occult sims are playable,  body presets & body sliders as well. But still trying to figure what else making some households unplayable.  Those fixed households I couldn't load before are tested, every interaction with others, every house task such as - cooking,  eating,  making tea/coffee and drinking, painting, TV, PC ...etc. everything works good. Hopefully I'll found what makes those few still unplayable and If I do I'll let you know. Unplayable in way- endless loading screen and fail to enter. Only in bild mode. Also, LastException assistant can't read my errors, errors unknown (like with my life lol).

  • Sorry I didn't mentioned that in all that progress I also removed my Mods folder to the desktop, repair the game, tried to play without mods, deleted localthumbcache.package... playing on PC.

  • I also use Sims 4 Mod Manager. Quite helpful for finding duplicate and broken mods. I haven't heard of the Tray Importer and look forward to trying it. Thank you for posting this, as I think several of us had problems with the occult stabilizator.

        I also have a lot of careers added to my game. I usually download everything from Curse Forge and load it before loading my game each time. If a creator has updated a mod, it will list those mods at the top with a down arrow to let you know the creator has updated a mod. You can look on the page and see the date the creator uploaded it and the version number, if there are more than one. It has helped me considerably to stay on top of some of these mods and when they are updated. Of course, if there are problems, it doesn't mention that. But it does let me keep on top of the updates instead of having to constantly check the creators website. Just an idea to go along with the Tray Importer and the Sims 4 Mod Manager.

      I just wandering, maybe you could help me with something because you use Mod Manager. Sims 4 Mod Manager showing me only items with same name. When I try to see duplicate, there's none.... but Tray importer showed me many duplicate CC I had in houses/sims. I guess I doing something wrong with Mod Manager 🫣

      Thank you 🤗 I run into your post this afternoon and saw it. Your help is greatly appreciated, I couldn't fix my game without all of you sharing game knowledge. 

  • Also... what I forgot to mentioned. In order to fix game,  I have also checked all my things installed in Mods folder. I couldn't believe what nonsense I found there. Was 2 zipped file, some of Sims3 packed, png. Those happened when I was downloading CC in hurry not focusing. I also had so many duplicate stuffs installed. I checked everything trough Sims 4 mod manager and Tray importer - it checks households and lots saved in gallery and shows what CC is used there. After cleaning everything my game loads so much faster. I was frustrated and in stress after update but was a good thing for me because it forced me to clean everything. 

  • If someone doesn't know how to read lastException errors... find the most recent lastException text file - from The Sims 4 folder. Open the text file and copy the text, then paste it in lastException assistant which you can find on Google. It's a lastException reader.
