Mods caused holiday issues (even after removed)

@PositivelySIMful I have read reports that any mod setting that alters game time speed, like this one in MCCC, can permanently corrupt a game save. It has something to do with the Seasons calendar not being in sync with the rest of the game clock. I'm not saying this has definitely happened to you I am just saying there is a chance.

There is also the potential of corrupted data being transferred to your non-modded game saves through Sims 4 cache files. You might want to consider using a few precautions if you decide to continue playing it:

• Anytime you have loaded this save in your game, you should delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder before you load & play any of your non-modded saves. If I had to guess, this file is how your modded save is affecting your non-modded saves when you load and play them. It is safe to delete this file, the game will auto-generate a new cache file the next time you launch it.
• If you see any issues while playing your non-modded saves, stop playing immediately and exit without saving. 
• Make a back-up copy of your Saves folder and keep it in a safe place on your computer, just in case.

You can try to save your favorite households and lots to your Library and importing them into a new test save just to see how everything looks. There are also some basic troubleshooting steps you can try with your modded save so let us know if you are interested in learning more about those.

I use MCCC in almost all of my game saves and it has never caused me any problems but I understand that there is always some risk involved with using any mod. When I go from playing a modded save to un-modded saves I completely remove all mods and CC, except for the Resource.cfg file, from my Mods folder (rather than just disabling them in my Game settings) and then I delete the localthumbcache.package file. I do this every time there is a new game patch. I am super-cautious about keeping all of my mods and CC updated. I don't have any familiarity with the other mods you listed, but for any mod it's best to only use the most recent versions that have been verified to be compatible with the current game patch.

Good luck, I hope this helps :D

I am just a regular Sims player, I do not work for EA, Sony, or Microsoft.
