Mod Help

@baybayb51200 When you removed the Mods/CC and confirmed it worked properly, then went to begin re-adding the Mods/CC via a 50/50 method and it didn't work on the first try, I would assume that's an indication that that first set of Mods/CC you re-added contained some or all of the Mods/CC causing the issue.

Did you try then removing the Mods/CC again, setting aside the group that you just confirmed triggered the issue, then trying the other set of Mods/CC that you didn't add yet to see if they trigger the issue? The 50/50 method is a process of elimination. If re-adding either or both sets of Mods/CC triggers the problem, that tells you you need to try with a smaller or different group of the Mods/CC. Keep trying different and/or smaller groups of the Mods/CC until you begin to find groups of them that don't trigger the issue so you can set those aside as 'okay'. 

Yes, i tried multiple different groups of mods. and every time i deleted a mod that MCCC command center said was “broken”, it will still pop up the same alert saying it couldn’t load bc the mod was corrupted, but yet it was no where in my folder. i never had that issue with my mac. once i deleted a mod it would just give an alert for a new one if i had multiple broken mods, not repeating the same one when the file has already been deleted. 

@baybayb51200  You said you the game still thinks the broken Mods/CC is there after it was removed, did you also delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder? I'm wondering if your game is still seeing cached files from the broken content.

Yes i have tried that also. i followed all the steps that i could find on google, including repairing/reinstalling the game. 

@baybayb51200 Did you try via the 50/50 method as mentioned above, or did you remove just the Mods/CC flagged by MCCC? Sorry, perhaps I'm not understanding correctly?

You said that if you removed all of the localthumbcache.package file that the game does open correctly?

i tried just removing the ones flagged first, then it still flagged the same mod after it was deleted. so i deleted the localthumbcache.package. still wouldn’t work, so then i tried the 50/50. should i delete the localthumbcache.package and then do 50/50? 

the game only ran smoothly when all of the mods were removed. 

@baybayb51200 You should delete the localthumbcache.package file before re-opening the game after each time you remove any of the Mods/CC. 

okay let me try that. i’m currently trying to redownload the game. 

Yeah, what @SheriGR said. You need to delete that file constantly while doing a 50/50.

I would honestly delete any .cache file in a fit of “what do you mean you think it’s still there???”

Also, I have a friend who thought she could remove things by nesting them deeper because all modders make a big deal of “can only read it one layer deep” but that’s just script files. It can read your .package files all the way down. 

Also if you copied over your resource.cfg from Mac or if it has weird file permissions or got corrupted that could also cause issues…

Twisted Mexi has a mod named Better Exceptions that might help you. It doesn’t replace 50/50 but can point you in the right direction.

okay let me try all those suggestions thank you! i use an external drive so i honestly just assumed it would still work the same as it did on my mac.
