mods folder crashing game
I know this name is really generic, but please bear with me. I haven't been able to come across anyone else having this issue.
My mods folder seems to be crashing my game - not the mods or CC itself.
I cleared out my mods folder a few weeks ago as I had a corrupted file, and over the past couple of days have been slowly re-adding my favourite CC and mods. I test everything in-game right after I download it. (I add files from a specific creator, test them in-game, then use Sims 4 Mod Manager to remove the items I don't want/need and re-test with my finished folder)
I've been playing for a long time and using mods for a long time, so when my game started crashing (consistently not responding at launch) I removed my folders one-by-one to find the issue, but it crashed at every reboot until I had 0 files or folders left in my mods folder, and that's the only way the game will run.
I've tested several files and script mods randomly, nothing will work. It comes down to:
Mod folder empty: Working
Mod folder with quite literally any file at all: Crash
It doesn't seem to be down to a specific outdated or corrupted file, my game simply won't run with a file in the mods folder. I'm so confused and frustrated. Has anyone else had this issue?
I have also completely wiped and reinstalled the Sims, so deleting the mods folder and launching to create a new one hasn't seemed to make a difference.
Sorry if I haven't explained myself well, here. I'm just so confused!
[EDIT: I play on a Mac, I always forget to mention that]
@growlm0nI’m seeing little cloud symbols in that first picture. Are you using an iCloud backup, and if so, did you make sure all your Mods were allowed to sync and that they were set to store locally before trying to open the game? (Or even better, remove from iCloud entirely) I use Dropbox rather than iCloud but have had similar issues.
