    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    @oxkimm After you moved your Mods folder to your desktop and deleted the localthumbcache.package file, as @jpkarlsen recommended, did you 1) try repairing your game thru Origin, and 2) try to open the game with a no mod test save?

    Don't put any files back into your Mods folder until you can at least launch the game and play normally in a test save. The only file that should be in there for now is the Resource.cfg file.

    After your game is working normally again without mods, then you can start testing those.

    That isn't the actual file, it's a temp file of some sort, it begins with ~$. Did you double click on one of the mods to try and open it?

    Is your Mods folder completely empty now?
  • Game updates turn mods off. Have you gone back into settings and turned them on again?
