mods in save folder?

Question

I am so confused and not super knowledgeable about mods. My game wouldn’t load into my save and was stuck in the loading screen, so I followed advice I read and tried removing every mod one by one and then reopening the game, but it didn’t end up working. Then I tried to follow thisadvice, but now I’m stuck on step 3.1. I have no idea what to do, but I went and checked the saves file and it has two mods just chilling in there with my old save that I was instructed to put in the new sims file, and the same happened on the old sims file. I don’t think they belong there but I also don’t know how to fix it. What do I do?

Some mods leave configuration files in your Saves folder. These aren't the mods themselves -- you'll note they aren't .package files or .ts4script file -- and the files can be left in even if you remove the mod. For example, Kuttoe's Home Regions mod leaves a .cfg (configuration) file there. Any info files a game leaves there can be safely deleted, but you'll have to redo your settings.&nbsp;
What happens if you do only&nbsp;a true vanilla (mod-free) test? See these instructions: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mods-CC-Issues/INFO-How-to-Use-Mods-and-CC/m-p/13439356#TestVanilla
No instructions, by the way, require removing one file at a time to test. See 50-50 testing instead. And see also Broken/Updated Mods &amp; CC.&nbsp;
