@beccaann33 , if you had removed CC and it works normally, then the problem is most likely with CC, so you will need to remove it again and test it one by one or in batches (if you have a lot of it) to see which one is outdated, so you can get the new version that works with the game update from wherever you got your CC. Also, just removing Mods or CC isn't enough... you also need to delete the localthumbcache.package file! 🤨 The localthumbcache.package file can still contain bits of corrupted data even after you remove your Mods/CC!
Here is a good way to do this:
Please do all of the following:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. This is very important!
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method, testing in batches.
The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version. The most recent game patch was on 2/23/2022.
Please update us on your situation! 😇
