Game not loading at all since last update without deleting ALL my cc from Mods

Hey there,

I have not been able to both keep ANY of my CC content files and be able to log into game since the update!

Sims 4 only not crashing after clicking play in the app if NONE of my CC is in the Mods folder!

Please help. Was playing just fine and nothing else was added to the Mods folder before playing and the new update!

Shows "preparing game" but NEVER loads my game after that.

    @Honey-Gumdrops sounds like a CC is broken and blocks you from loading into the game. Try to find exactly what CC is causing that by trying the half and half method: remove half of the CC files, open the game and see if it loads. If it loads, then the broken CC might be in the other half. If it doesn't load, then you should continue on splitting that half into half again, and so on, until finding the culprit.

    Don't forget to delete the "localthumbcache" file from Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 4 every time you remove or add CC to ensure that the problem is solved.

    @Honey-Gumdrops Could you please try this?

    Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.

    Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.

    Start with New to test if you can load a save.

    If that works:

    Download a fresh, new CC item and put that in your new Mods folder.

    Launch the game to test.
