game is corrupted?

Since updating my game I had to redownload a lot of cc (accidentally fumbled and deleted everything) and I just tried opening my game and it kept saying a bunch of cc was corrupted and wouldn't launch the game. So I kept taking things out and eventually took out folders one by one till I had no cc and then it would open so I'm just mad confused.

  • BuildABrat01​ Please try this, so help diagnose the problem:

    1. Rename the Mods folder.
    2. Delete the file called localthumbcache.
    3. Start the game and exit.
    4. Download a new piece of CC. I usually use either peacemaker furniture or SurelySims clothes because I know they all work.
    5. Install that one item in your newly created Mods folder and try again.

    Does that work?

    That did work, I downloaded a piece of the cc it said was previously corrupted. Do I just reinstall everything then??

    BuildABrat01​ Unfortunately, that might be the only option now. (At least it's a good opportunity to reorganize and think about what you really use.)

    As a tip, some of the people I've seen this happen to in the past had moved files on and off an external drive. Something to consider avoiding.
