Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 Unable to Start, Game Data Missing or Damaged

I have been downloading Sims 4 cc/mods for the past 6 days now and I'm finally done haha but now I have this same error I did everything: the 50/50 method which I found the cc/mods that were crashing my game but when I took them out my folder it still showing the same game like here and there it runs normal but then it shows the error then I do the 50/50 method again and it works until I put all my mods back in the folder to start it then boom the error pops up again after I just did the 50/50 method I don't know anymore I need all the help I can get to play all my mods in my game

  • @raeray2002 Please do this to make sure you've got the game wirking with no mods:

    1. Move (not copy) your Mods folder to your desktop or rename it. D
    2. elete the file called localthumbcache from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
    3. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up.
    4. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. You'll also have a new Mods folder now.

    If that works, do this next:

    1. Go to Broken/Updated Mods & CC and delete the broken mods from your old mods folder. Note that there's a "newly broken" list and a "previously broken" list
    2. Use the Updated lists there to find which mods have new versions to install. Delete the old version from your old folder and install the new one in the new folder. Don't skip checking installation instructions.
    3. Use the "Cleared" lists to find which mods that you have left can be copied over. Make sure you also have anything you use from the "Core" list
    4. Open the game to test.

    Let me know if you still have a working game, now, with only cleared and updated content.
