Trash the localthumbcache.pacakge file too.

Is your Sims 4 folder stored on an external drive?

      Alright if i’m being honest I know absolutely nothing about computers and just recently got this handed down to me as a gift. I was under the impression that an SSD was an external drive, but according to my computer mine is actually internal. My apologies. The format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) though if it still matters.

        SSD means Solid State Drive and is the name for the type of disk, whether internal or external 🙂

        Rename or move the Mods folder out of the Sims 4 folder so the game does not load it, trash the localthumbcache.package file again then try to load the game.

        Which version of macOS are you running?
