Re: Broken mod or broken game?
@phoenix224466 That looks a lot like a broken mod. You can check for that by moving your Mods folder to your desktop, deleting the file called localthumbcache, and restarting the game. (To make sure you don't accidentally save and overwrite your current save, either start a new save to test or copy your Saves folder over to your desktop.)
You can figure out *which* mod it is by doing a 50-50 on your Mods folder. This means organizing the files there into bite-size batches and testing one batch at a time. For each test, delete the file called localthumbcache, then put only that batch in Mods. If your game behaves as you expect, set that batch aside as "cleared" and delete localthumbcache again. If it doesn't behave as you expect, take out half the batch and see if you're closer to finding the culprit. Remember to delete localthumbcache each time. You'll find some 50-50 method tutorials online too. Once you isolate the file, you can go find out if there's an updated version.
A lot of people end up with old, broken mods by downloading mod collections off of streamers' pages and the like. I highly recommend only downloading mods and CC from creators' own pages, and checking first if they're reported somewhere to be known broken.
