Solved

My game won't start up, PLEASE HELP!!!

So like the title says, my game won't start up. I think it may have something to do with my mods because when I don't have any of my cc in the mod folders the game starts up no issue, but when I DO have my cc in the folder the game wont start up at all.

I would really love a solution cause I've uninstalled the sims 4 itself and the EA app multiple times to no avail and I can't seem to find anything relating to my problem for how to fix it. My game ran fine before, not sure what happened.

I'd love a solution that would let me play the game with my mods without any issue.

If the game works without your mods, then you need to complete a 50/50: [INFO] How to Use Mods and CC | EA Forums - 9360653

check if there’s any update of your mods (usually the ts4script extention file). Easiest way to check for updates is by using an app called Sims 4 Mod Manager. If there’s any update, update it.
another way you can do is by adding a mod called BetterException by TwistedMexi. It will help you troubleshoot any mod-related error.
you can also check for mod conflict in an app called Sims4TrayImporter. Steps: open app >> tools >> find conflict
this took me a while to understand what’s the error culprit and clean up this mod-related error. Happy troubleshooting 😬

Did the method and found out the issue was a mod in my CAS folder. Only problem is that my CAS folder has over 10k+ files all clumped together so I'm not sure how to find which one is specifically causing the issue. Is there any application I can use to single out the problem?

There is also a pinned post on the top right-hand side of the screen called Mod and CC Issues Start Here. It contains a comprehensive list of broken and updated Mods and Custom Content. If you are still having issues, you can use 50/50. Lutheinrising keeps the post updated.

Just want to note that there are many kinds of issues that won't be solved with any outside tool. Instructions on tool-less testing are in How to Use Mods and CC
