Re: mermaid tail won't go away, sim just swims everywhere

@darkdreamer253

It may be a game bug that happened after the patch but first try to fix it this way:
Open the game folder and delete the localthumbcache.package file.
Next open Origin/My games library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Don't enable mods yet and check if the game is working properly.

If it will work move the mods folder to the desktop and turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder.
Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK. You can start with UI Cheats Extension mod because it will always be broken after the patch
Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

  • Thanks so much. I don't know which mod it was, but just removing the mods from the mod folder made everything work normal again. It's weird that they affected my game while inactive though... Well, I'm just glad the problem has been solved and my mermaid sims can walk on legs again.

  • Unfortunately, I followed the method you mentioned, but the problem was not solved. So I repeated the process twice more and the game still opened. I still don't know how to solve the problem and my mermaid is still swimming on the floor.....
