Re: [MOD RELATED] Sims disappeared from household/Blue flashing square on map

@Jlucht28

- There is a possibility you have saved this household during some celebrated holidays. In this case, switch to another hausehold and wait three sim's days

- However, maybe you have used some outdated CC objects in this household. The same applies to outdated CC used in CAS.
To eliminate this possibility move your mods folder to the desktop, and delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
Fix the game in Origin
right-click on TS4 select the option "repair game"
Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if the game is working now properly without mods
If it will work 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.
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)

  • I just tried this again, and I'm still unable to play as that family and the thumbnail is once again glitching :/ 

    I'm starting to think it may not be mod related?
