Overview
For Sims 4, the process of installing mods and custom content on a Mac is the same as it is on a Windows PC. Standard mods and cc work equally well (or not at all) in both OSs, and the Si...

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some help on an issue I'm having. On Friday December 1, my game worked perfectly fine, no issues at all. But yesterday when I tried to play, my game just wouldn't load. I can't get to even the loading screen, my game just spins indefinitely. Sometimes, it will act like it's going to open, but then crash before I ever reach the loading screen. I have searched forums, looked for specific answers, and tried everything. Here are all the things I've tried, but still having the same issue.
- Removing Mods folder and letting a new one populate
- Removing all Mods from the folder and trying to gradually add some back in
- Deleting localthumbcache.package
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Origin (I play on Mac)
- Uninstalling and resintalling the Sims 4 game
- Clearing Origin cache and preferences using the RepairOrigin software
- Restarting and updating my computer
- Repairing the game in Origin
- Turned Vertical Sync on and off (don't know why, I just saw somewere that it might help)
Basically, when there are NO mods or CC in the Mods folder, the game loads just fine. But as soon as I add even one single mod to the folder, the game won't open. I've tried several variations of testing my mods, but there is no scenario where my game loads unless I have no mods in the folder at all. In-game, "enable mods and cc" is checked, as is "allow script mods". I have no idea what to do at this point. Here are some hardware specifics in case that makes a difference
Macbook Air 2020
248GB storage 8GB memory
Apple M1 chip
macOS Sonoma 14.1.2
TIA for any assistance!
