Update: I Repaired the game, didn’t work, then I disable the mods and it worked. How do I figure out which mods are causing the problem?
@TheUniqueQueen , the best way to check the which Mods or Custom Content (CC) is causing your problem is to do the following:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. (This is very important because bits of corrupted data can remain in this file even if you remove your Mods.🤨 This file will be regenerated later, but without the old data.)
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game. (You might be able to skip this since you already ran a repair, but then again it can't hurt to do it in order!)
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method, working in batches.
The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that Mod or item of CC in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version. You should delete any outdated Mod or CC that doesn't get updated if it is causing problems in your game. The Mod/CC creators are usually pretty quick to update their creations to be compatible with the newest version of the game!
