My sims 4 wont open
I have never used this site and this is a last resort, my sims game wont open it says 'cannot start because the file below appears to be corrupted, if this is a mod please remove it and try again, if...
Thank you for your reply, (and sory for my late one, i cant click on the repair button or origin its sort of dulled out, my game works without mods and with mods in there folder but disabled.
@476mzdc0jsqa The Repair button should be grayed out if you're actually playing, but not otherwise. If you can't click it even when Sims 4 isn't running, and restarting your computer doesn't help, try clearing Origin's cache:

But since your issue goes away with no mods present, it's pretty clear that's the cause. You'll need to test the mods you have to find out which ones are broken. If you have a lot of them, the 50/50 method can make the process much more efficient.

Thank you my sims is currantly repairing, via origin, i dont think ill need to do the 50/50 mehod since when i open sims it come up with an error telling me exactly what file isnt working, but as many times a si try to remove said file it chooses a new one after?
@476mzdc0jsqa Did you move your existing Mods folder back, or are you still working with the new one the game generated? Please keep using the new Mods folder, or if you've deleted it, let the game create another new one.
Download one mod known to be compatible with the current patch level (1.90) and add that to the otherwise empty new Mods folder, then see whether you get the same error. If you don't, you can try adding one of your other mods or cc items to the new folder. If the error shows up again, the problem is that file, and you'll need to look for an update or just stop using it.
i got rid of all my mods and put 2 new ones in to see if it worked and it did, but once i downloaded more it stopped working it dosnt matter what mods it is its the amount i think?
this is what is says if i have any mod in my mods folder.
