Re: [MASTER POST] Common Symptoms of Mod/CC Issues
Issues That Seem Mod/CC Related but Aren’t
This is a small selection of issues that tend to come to Mod/CC Issues but are actually game bugs or technical issues. Some of these can be caused by mods; please test first by dragging your Mods folder to your desktop, deleting the file called localthumbcache, and checking in your save again. Some mod-caused issues will need to you to do something else to clear the effects — edit a Sim in CAS (for some CC issues), a "Save As", to switch households and back, or something similar. Some can corrupt a save but a new save will be fine.

- Bottoms of buildings missing after bulldozing
- Codes or blank bubbles instead of text without mods
- Doors visible with walls down
- Game Data Incomplete, grey llamas, red and white sims, broken textures on a Mac, without Mods
- High School prom doesn’t happen without mods
- Lagging in Live mode without mods – causes include too many unhoused Sims suddenly generated, social features turned on in Options, lots with too many interactable items for your computer specs, syncing software running during gameplay, large Tray/Screenshots/Saves folders. If none of these apply (test in a new save!), see this FPS-related topic or this topic
- LEs: posture errors – typically results from Sims having a tough time negotiating their way around objects
- Loading issue: lots or Worlds fail to load without mods (note: this also assumes you also couldn't get into the lot/world with mods and that you didn't remove mods/CC just before the problem started; if your problem started by mod removal, head back up to mod issues!) – [MASTER THREAD] Crashing and Endless Loading
- Lot type stuck on Residential Rental
- Trait slots are missing in CAS.
