My Sims 4 menu is pitch black

Whenever I load up my The Sims 4 game it has the typical intro and loading screen but when it reaches the main menu I'm left on a pitch black screen with no play option or anything at all except my arrow. Now, I'm pretty self-aware this is due to mods but I've got years upon years of CC/Mod to do the 50/50 method and I'd like to know probable mods that could inflict something like this. Prior to this, I repaired the game when I noticed the issue so I'm pretty fixed on it being a mod issue but any other suggestions would be appreciated. To give extra detail, I'm a macOs Catalina Version 10.15.7 user which I know is outdated as it's an old computer but I'd doubt it contribute to something like this.

    I took the mods out and there's not the black main menu startup but my game is running slower probably due to my computer version. I know it's probably a UI mod causing this issue but I'm not necessarily sure which one it could be and when I search up UI nothing comes up in my Mods folder so I don't have a particular mod I could navigate linked with this.

    Before I do the 50/50 method, what's the typical mods that inflict black screen startups?

    @luthienrising i discovered it's most likely a cas cc issue but i don't know how to 50/50 without it being too time consuming - do you have advice for this?

    @Marceleryy 50-50'ing is the fast method. You're testing an entire half of your mods to start, then breaking it down from there.
