could somebody please help me? Whenever i try to load my sims family it goes back to the map. It also tells me to restart the game. i also cant go into build mode or play with other families. I do have a lot of mods but this was never an issue before.
Custom content/mods can get outdated with patches. If it works when you remove your mods folder, then one or more mods/cc is no longer compatible with the game and you have to find those.
Use the 50/50 method: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content to find the culprit
