ive been a silent observer here on mac for a while, but whenever I start to play the sims it literally takes OVER AN HOUR to launch but after launch, is stuck on the well know "The Sims 4 2017 electronic arts inc." screen. maybe this is because of mods? I have a lot that i use a ton and dont really want to uninstall the game because i'll lose all my saves. anyone know what to do??
Your saves, Mods etc are stored in the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts.
Your game is installed by default in your Applications folder, or wherever you may have changed this to in Origin/EA App.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the game will not cause you to lose your saves but is also an unnecessary thing to do when the issue is Mods.
But you need to figure out what is causing the issue and ridiculously slow loading times. Move your Mods folder out of the Sims 4 folder, or rename it, and trash the localthumbcache.package file. Attempt to load the game. How long does it take to load?
