Help

I have the sims 4 and like a million add ons as well as mods and I play on mac. I hadn’t played in like months and then tried to get on last night and everything was fine (outside of me having to redownload it and none of my previous content be saved anymore but I didn’t really care about that) I went through the whole CAS process fine but every time I try to play a family I just get brought back to the world selection screen. I saw on another post someone suggest removing Sims 4 from the documents/ea files on my computer to the desktop and that worked but now my mods won’t show up, I really just have like CAS and furniture mods nothing to crazy as far as script mods and things so I’d really like to use them if anyone has any tips.

  • Hi! Has anyone ever experienced or is experiencing the Sims 4 kicking you out and sending you back to manage worlds after choosing a household? I have been experiencing this for a few days and have no idea what is happening. Yes, I have cc/mods, but I updated them thinking that was part of the problem. It started happening after my game was updated on Origin (Macbook user) is it the bugs or something more? I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but. nothing has changed. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated 

  • @DarrianW98 , I am going to move your post to the Sims 4 Mac Help section. Origin was acting up last night, so that could be the cause of your problem.

    Great, thank you! It could just be an issue with me moving the files because I’m not super savvy when it comes to mods and things.

    @DarrianW98 When you test in a new folder, you're by definition testing without mods. If you have households loading in that fresh folder, you can start re-adding your mods from the old folder you removed into the new Mods folder the game has created, and testing as you go. This is a good time to check for known Broken/Updated Mods and rechecking installation instructions.

    Just for more clarity on my end, when I moved the sims 4 file to the desktop it kept the mod folder filled with mods I already have, should I be removing those and essentially redownloading them? I’m at work now but I’ll try whatever you suggest later.

    @DarrianW98 Here'a a useful workflow for dealing with that:

    1. Check the "Broken" lists in Broken/Updated Mods  and outright delete those mods.
    2. Check the "Updated" lists in Broken/Updated Mods , delete those mods from your old folder, and download fresh copies. Check installation instructions - a lot of modders have beens switching dependencies lately.
    3. Check the "Cleared" list in Broken/Updated Mods . You can move those mods from your old folder to the new one.
    4. Get TwistedMexi's ModGuard v1.5 from his website and add that to the new folder, following the instructions.
    5. Now you're left in the old folder with mods that my list is silent on. If any are 18+ mods or creators you haven't noticed listed by me, check the creators' websites for updates. Add the rest back in in batches, testing between batches to make sure you don't have obvious problems. If you have to remove a mod from your new folder, delete localthumbcache.
