The whole process deleted game, saves, mods, the mod folder would not delete even though nothing showed in it. I moved the mod folder to the desktop and that did the trick. There were files in that folder that were hidden.

Hi @ILoveCats2020,

So the game works unless you introduce your Mods folder? In that case, you have incompatible mods in that folder, and you will be able to fix your game by finding the faulty mods 🙂

I would recommend reading this article: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates/

Let us know if you have any questions! 🙂

Move all the CC out of your Mods folder then back in in small batches, testing the game to see if it launches after adding each batch. When it stops working you know you have incompatible CC in that batch.

    Does it happen when you move the whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop and try a new, clean, vanilla game?
