Game will not launch with Mods

After I'm launching the game (after renaming the folder and also tried removing it ), it's working, but as soon as I move just a single mod or a cc in there , it's not even lunching just popping up on the screen (all the mods and cc were updated) , since the new update. (So here I'm not sure if it's the Mac update or the game one or the app. Before it was working perfectly, had over 12k cc and mods, I removed my saves as well. My MacBook is Air 2020 M1, so I have no clue what's going on. Tried to repair the game, reinstalled it, but nothing. Gave access for the EA app and The Sims 4 too, but that didn't help either. I'm clueless what to do with it.

    I'm having the same issue...since yesterday, before it was working perfectly with my mods, now it's just not launching.

    I tried what you said, but it's just not working. Tried every single option, otherwise I wouldn't be here and looking for more answers.

  • anniesim5 we ask questions and need answers in order to try and help you. You didn’t state that you had tried any troubleshooting steps in your previous reply so the assumption is that you haven’t.

    After you renamed the Sims 4 folder and relaunched the game how far into the loading process and gameplay did you get? At what point did the game freeze/crash?

    The game works without Mods ✅

    The game breaks with Mods - therefore your Mods are the issue.  Moved your posts into a new thread in the Mods forum. Have you really checked that all 12,000 Mods and CC are compatible with the current game version?
