issues with gameplay: game won't allow me to save, build, travel or open in CAS

Hi there, I'm having major issues with my sims 4 gameplay. 

  I've been playing The Sims 4 for a while now. I started gaming on console but just recently switched to pc gaming for the mods and I haven't had issues with it until I started using those mods. I've been having this really obnoxious error and everywhere I look to fix it - there aren't any helpful resources to help point me in the right direction.

Every time I load up the game, I have no issues. I'll see the menu screen and press continue on my save - from there I'll get NO ERORR codes. When I do get in my game, it loads up and my sim can move and function.  For some reason though I can't seem to save, travel, or build in my game - instead it says, "game loading in progress" and I'm not sure what has to load anymore but I even waited and still nothing. Sometimes I even play for a little in hopes it'll fix itself but It is still giving me issues and I've already gotten rid of all of my mods and save files because other sources told me that was the issue. does anyone know a tutorial I can follow to help me or does anyone know the direct issue at all? tysm I'm really stuck...

  • @CRy_BBy_01 When you remove mods, make sure to also delete the file called localthumbcache. That might be enough to get your game working again.

    This topic has a post on how to manage your mods and CC at game updates, and you might find it especially helpful: Mod and CC Issues It also has a post on how to test your Mods folder to find which content is causing a problem. The Broken/Updated Mods topic covers mods and CC that need to be removed or replaced.

    Keep in mind that not every problem is mod-caused! But testing without mods helps determine problems. To do that, drag the whole Mods folder to desktop and delete the localthumbcache file. Try a new save as well as seeing if you can load your old one.
