Start with a whole new clean Sims 4 folder by following these instructions - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M163
Once you've launched the game and the new folder has been created, enable CC in the in-game options then quit. Now add one piece of CC into the Mods folder. I would try something from Peacemaker as I know and trust his CC https://simsationaldesigns.blogspot.com/ then load the game.
Does it show up in the game and work?
Thanks for responding! I just tried that, and when I added in one Peacemaker mod, the game loaded. However, once I added a few more (also from Peacemaker), it wouldn't open again.
- @haleyym8 ugh, I am having this EXACT same problem. As soon as I add mods the game stops responding. Even script mods are working and the game opens but custom mods when added together makes the game stop responding.
I even tried to add mods slowly and that worked but hours later when I opened up the game again, it stopped responding.- have observed this thing. I am using iCloud. Once I copy the mods from one folder back to mods folder, the game starts up but iCloud syncs so few hours later the game stops responding

What is your game setup? Are you using an external drive? Have you copied the CC files from another location on the machine or another one? Using iCloud or created a symlink?- Macbook Air 2020

macOS Sonoma 14.1.2Yours is identical to mine. I’m wondering if that has something to do with it…. 🤔
I store the EA folder and all my mods on iCloud. I do have Time Machine running, and I believe it syncs those to an external hard drive that I have. But my game isn’t located on that drive. I’m not sure what symlink is so my guess is that it doesn’t apply… Im also not sure what you mean by copying CC from another location. I don’t think so? It all just lives in my Mods folder
Thanks
