@Greengasm , there are a list of steps you can do to find which Mod or CC item is causing the problem so you can remove it or get an updated version of it.
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. This is important because it can contain bits of corrupted data even after you remove your CC/Mods! 🤨 This is found in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
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, working in batches to see which CC item or Mod is the culprit. (You could have multiple items causing problems.)
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. If they fail to update the Mod or CC item, then you should not put it back into your game. You might have to do this again when the next game update/patch is released.
When you find the updated version of your Mod or CC items, you can put them back into your game. 🙂
Please update us on your situation! 😇
@PugLove888 Thank you for your response. I believe this issue is with 'thepancake1 and MizoreYukii color sliders' mod. I followed your instructions and I decided to start with the mods that I organized in folders (before I got lazy xD) and the issue was still there. I found that removing the folders that controlled EA’s default clothes, hair, etc (individual folders for gp, exp, sp, and kits) fixed the issue for me. I also saw that there are others that are having issues with the mod and are asking for an update.
