My Sims4 is Broken! Help! [Includes Mods]

As said in the Title, my Sims 4 is broken, but how? As I try to open up a household, it takes me back to "select world" screen for some reason. I use mods and I know it is the mods from me disabling it and my world working just fine, but I don't want to not use mods. I've repaired my game, removed some mods, restarted my PC, and even removed some unused save files, but nothing ever worked, what do I do?

    Hi, there
    If you know that the mod is the cause, then once you have moved the mod folder, and check to see if the game can be started correctly in a game without the mod. Follow the steps below.
    1. Moving your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package.
    2. Test the game without the mod.
    3. If it works normally, check for updates to your mods/CC.
    4. You can then add them back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
    If you have a large number of mods and it is troublesome, you can use the 50/50 method.
    You can find the procedure at the following site, it is in the Sim2 category, but the method is the same.
