I need an explanation for this issue and how to fix it.

Hello, As I am finding out which Mod is causing me to not get into a household (If it is not a mod, I will let you know), I am getting another one of those Better Exception Messages that isn't very ...

@SimSeeker The current version of ModGuard is 1.5, and the download location is TwistedMexi's website. Make sure you're on that one.

You also have your content in OneDrive, which could cause you problems with figuring out what mods are your issue. OneDrive has some very bad habits when it comes to deciding on its own what it thinks you want in your Sims folder. Before sorting through your mods, I strongly advise getting Sims content away from OneDrive: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370

You might benefit from checking Broken/Updated Mods and then doing a 50-50 on the rest of your mods if you still have issues after using the lists.

Hello Another update,

I took out all of my mods and I still see my character's face being blacked out and not getting into the actual game. So, it is not a Mod issue. It's a game issue. Now, how do I fix this?

Also how do I show you the saved games that is the having the problem? I hope that you can view the two saved games to see what the problem really is.

    @SimSeeker Please try a clean-folder test after ensuring that your Sims folders are excluded from OneDrive:

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Make sure you're doing this with the folder the game sees.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    3. Start with New to test if your issue recurs.

    If that works:

    1. Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test.

    If that works:

    1. Copy your old Tray files (this is your Library), Screenshots and Videos files.
    2. To test mods, copy the files into the new folder *in batches* with any mods they depend on (injectors and core mods, for example). Don't copy your old resource.cfg file. If you delete any mods from the new folder, delete localthumbcache.
