game won't launch when i add slider mods

When I try to add some slider mods I downloaded, my game stops launching.

Like I can get to the origin main menu and press the sims, but instead of launching the game, the menu just pops up again. The game launches normally when i take the mods out, and I've tried a few by themselves and none of them work. I downloaded them on 10/23/22.

  • @elloluv333 Many slider mods were broken by a game patch earlier this year. Sometime around May or June, if I recall correctly. If you are trying to use a mod that is older than that, maybe see if there is an updated version available. I'm using several slider mods and they are not preventing my game from launching. I updated all of them after that game patch.

    Also, make sure you are putting them in the correct location. For Windows it would be Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Also, make sure any downloads you are trying to add are decompressed, ie not .zip, .rar, .7z, etc. Only .package and .ts4script files can go in your Mods folder.

  • Same here, one specific slider won't let me open the game even if I update it in sims 4 studio, and the creator updated the slider in March of this year 🥲 so confusing 

  • @aprilu Patches often break slider mods, and March was a few patches ago. You might just have a broken mod there. Which one is it?
