Mods constantly breaking, despite having re-downloaded recently?
I had recently deleted mods and then re-downloaded new ones. I am able to play my game, but when I save and exit my game no longer wants to work due to mod issues.
Hi!
I am extremely confused on what to do. So I redownloaded a bunch of my mods in hopes of updating them all to avoid any complications with my mods until the next game update. So I reorganised everything and the game went smoothly after my redownloaded mods. Although after I save and quit after playing, re-join, I haven't added any new mods, my game no longer works? The only notice I get is "application not working". So I force quit the app, and take out certain folders. I see that my furniture mods are the ones influencing the game not working, so I redownload them all!!! And after re-downloading the game still doesn't work? So I check if it's the mods themselves, no! My game now doesn't work with or without my furniture CC?
What I'm trying to say is that, this feels like a never ending problem. I am genuinely so confused that despite redownloading the broken mods, new mods somehow break after? I deleted all the cache and followed the other advice, but none has really worked?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or know what steps I could take in order to fix it?
Thank you so much!!!
@Sushibritt123 Redownloading won't fix mods that are broken, assuming it's the mods. Note that it might not be, though, or not entirely. Please try this, in this exact order:
- Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop and/or rename it.
- Run a Game Repair
- Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
- Start with New to test if that works. If you don't see only "new" here as a save option, please let me know.
If that works, start putting old content back:
- Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
- Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test.
If that works:
- Copy your old Tray files (this is your Library), Screenshots and Videos files.
- To retest mods now that you have fresh folders, copy the files into the new folder *in batches* with any mods they depend on (injectors and core mods, for example). Don't copy your old resource.cfg file. If you delete any mods from the new folder, delete localthumbcache.
