Help!

So, this is my first time playing the Sims 4 in months! I have updated the game, repaired the games, did the 50/50 method and still my game won't work. I remove half my mods folder and the game works. I take those folders out and put the other half in, and the game works. But when I put all the folders back in, the game no longer works and won't load. And like I said, I repaired the game, did the 50/50 method and renamed the old folder to force the game to make a new one and nothing is working!

  • t0xic_sir3n_​ The 50-50 method works only if you keep together mods that require each other. If you don't, you will miss issues. Almost every set of instructions online skips that part. See vanilla and 50-50 testing

    But also, start at Previously Broken mods and CC and Broken and Updated Mods and CC. If you still have issues after that and accurate 50-50 testing fails, you can do additive testing. Instead of gradually removing things, you gradually add them. When you get a failure, you might have a conflict. While you're adding batches, consider going to the mod pages to check installation instructions.

    Yes, all my mods that are required to be together are together in the same folder, I always make sure of that. I also checked the broken mods and updated mods before I added any mods into my mods folder, I also always make sure to do that before I add any mods into my folder to save from any hassle. I also did the additive testing. I removed everything from the folder, started the game, added stuff back in, started the game, rinse and repeat. And like I said, the game works when the mods are split up, but not when they're all together :((
