Holiday on Repeat
A while back, I created a holiday that was right after New Years Eve. It was New Years Day; a custom holiday. The holidays passed and was great, but then weird stuff started to happen. It took me a w...

@NiaraTiara I haven't read anywhere of this particular problem but I have heard of other issues with holidays when using any mod to change the game speed. @anneke33 is correct, after temporarily removing all mods or CC in your game, you should also clear old cached content in case anything from the Mods or CC is still hanging around in your game (thanks @SheriGR for this information). You can do this by deleting the localthumbcache.package file in your Sims 4 folder. It's perfectly safe to delete this file as the game will auto-generate a new one the next time you launch Sims 4. I always delete the localthumbcache.package file any time I make a change to my Mods folder.
Please let us know if this fixes your problem. If so, you might be able to re-install your mods, as long as you keep the game speed at the default setting. Make sure you are using the most current versions available first. If this does not fix your problem, let us know that as well as there are other things you can try.
I hope this helps!
Oh plum! I knew it would be either @RandomBuzziness or @PugLove888 that would help and I guessed the wrong one, haha. Glad to see I wasn’t completely wrong in my answer 😉
@anneke33 Yeah I agree with your thinking on this one. @PugLove888 is awesome & has helped me many times!
@RandomBuzziness you're both awesome, it was just a guessing game as to who would see and reply to the post first 😉 I guessed wrong, haha 😃
@anneke33, yes I would have been able to help had I been on the computer at the time you posted, but I was doing other things at the time! 😃 Thankfully @RandomBuzziness was able to help 🙌 so you didn't have to wait for me! 😳 And @RandomBuzziness is correct in that @SheriGR is also very helpful !😇
@NiaraTiara, The best procedure is to move the Mods folder to your desktop, then delete the localthumbcache.package file like @RandomBuzziness mentioned. Also for extra safe measure is to Repair your game through Origin.
Then you can add your Mods and CC back one by one, starting your game after adding each one to test each Mod or CC item. But if you have a lot of CC, then you might want to do the 50/50 Method and test a larger batch of them at a time. Once you find which Mod or CC is the culprit, you can then go back to whoever created it and see if they have an updated version (if they do, you can download that one). If they don't have a new one, then you should just forget that Mod or CC as if they are never updated, they will continue to mess up your game! 😢
You should do this after each time your game acts up, especially after a patch is released by EA, as that is when a lot of Mods/CC become outdated! We are getting a new Stuff Pack next week, so we will probably be getting a another patch from EA later this week! You might want to wait until after that to complete your testing! 🤔Please update us on if this fixes your problem or not! 😇
And @anneke33 , I was thinking before I saw your post that it was a shame that the broken holiday wasn't Groundhog Day! 😃 Love that movie! ❤️
