(mods or cc related ?) please help !

i am having a huge problem with mine, which has been ongoing for months - causing me to abandon the game because i just don’t know how to fix it.

- my cc doesn’t show up at all, despite how many times i repair the game, and even uploading mods/cc to the game at 200 item intervals will not work, however i can see that it’s not one specific file, as if i do it in 300 item intervals or 700 intervals, it will break at different points with different mods, despite the same mods appearing in game and behaving perfectly fine (for example, it broke at 1600 mods earlier, but broke now with 800 mods, in alphabetical order - so therefore not being one specific file which is corrupted). all cc & mods settings are enabled, so it’s not that either. i also don’t use script mods, so none are outdated as such.

- the part that’s beyond me, is that when my mods file doesn’t show up, the option to “load save” doesn’t show up either and the game will only allow me to start a new save.

- i truly really don’t know what to do with it, if you can help in any way at all i would hugely appreciate it ! thank you 💗

if images are of any help, please let me know and i’ll link them 🙂

  • @graceemilyy Wow... that's a lot of mods and CC for your game to run and to try to get to play well together. I would try removing the Mods/CC and start troubleshooting which may be causing the issue. Btw... a Mod doesn't have to be a script Mod to cause an issue or break. 

    Removing the Mods folder to see if the issue resolves:

    Spoiler
    Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.
