    Hi there! I had this exact same issue, and after hours of messing with my mods I narrowed it down to the following:

    Custom content food stalls will break your save file, even if you remove your mods after. If you have loaded the game with the custom food stalls and have since saved with that CC still in your game, the save file remains broken forever.

    What I did to fix it:

    1. Delete any CC food stalls from your mods folder
    2. Delete localthumbcache.package from your Sims 4 installation folder
    3. Open the game, and recover/revert your save file to the last time you saved since before installing the the My Wedding Stories pack***. You can do this in the "Load Game..." menu by clicking on the small icon with the round arrow on your save.
    4. Load that save, and the stalls should now be working.

    ***side note: I had not played my game since before the MWS patches, so I cannot say whether reverting back to after the patches but before MWS is enough. You might have to revert even further to before the patches.

    I hope you won't lose too much playtime by reverting your saves. Sadly I did not find a way to fix saves that had already been opened and saved again with the broken CC + new game pack installed. Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi @dovakin_auditore 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    @dovakin_auditore Try creating a new Windows user then and start a new save to see if that works (for testing)
