  • Okay so i just installed a few new mods last night out of boredom, and after i restart the game it didnt work as usual, it didnt let me play like usual, it always take me back to resedential worlds or smtg when i want to play a certain household, btw tehre are like 7 households or smtg in one save, and it usually worked properly with the amount of custom content in, but now it didn't. I then took all of it off, and after i figured out the problem was custom content itself, i tried removing one by one the new CC's i downloaded last night, yet it's still not working, what do i do?..

  • @august081_028 If your mods are all undated to the best of your knowledge, and you don't get any last exception files generated, then you will probably need to use the 50-50 method to test your mods in batches so you can narrow down which one is causing the issue.

    Hi @august081_028 . Start by checking the lists (including Previously Broken) in the pinned Broken/Updated Mods thread. If you still have issues after updating and deleting as needed based on those, test with no mods at all to make sure it's not a game issue: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving. If that does fix it, I recommend using the 50-50 method to find what broke. If it doesn't, your next place to go is the pinned topic about things not loading in Game Issues .

  • Hi @august081_028 Please test vanilla: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.
