Need help with broken mods...

Question

I keep getting this last exception report and I can't figure out what it means. I've updated every mod I can think of and deleted mods that I could not update but I still get an error message. I also cannot download anything from the gallery nor like anything in the gallery. Someone please help as I cannot play my game at all.&lt;?xml version="1.0" ?&gt;&lt;root&gt;&lt;report&gt;&lt;version&gt;2&lt;/version&gt;&lt;sessionid&gt;2fde4749d765a9a4690284ba&lt;/sessionid&gt;&lt;type&gt;desync&lt;/type&gt;&lt;sku&gt;ea.maxis.sims4_64.15.pc&lt;/sku&gt;&lt;createtime&gt;2025-10-29 21:20:57&lt;/createtime&gt;&lt;buildsignature&gt;Local.Unknown.Unknown.1.118.257.1020-1.300.000.223.Release&lt;/buildsignature&gt;&lt;categoryid&gt;(AS)olympus.controls::GUIComponent&lt;/categoryid&gt;&lt;desyncid&gt;2fde4749d765a9a4690284ba&lt;/desyncid&gt;&lt;systemconfig/&gt;&lt;screenshot/&gt;&lt;desyncdata&gt;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.&amp;#13;&amp;#10;

jlclvsjpm1​ Nothing here says a mod is the cause of your problem. Let's find out for sure if it is: Rename the Mods folder, delete localthumbcache, and try again. If you have a new LE mod-free, you can attach it to a reply with the paper-clip. Let us know what was happening when the LE was generated.&nbsp;
