Re: [mod-setting relating] Game freezing immediately

I found the issue!  It turned out not to be my CC itself, but the optional pop-up window that lists my CC and mods.  I usually keep it engaged to make sure my CC is active in case I miss that there was an update (#adhd). 

What was happening was that the CC pop-up and the ad pop-up were starting at the same time, and the game essentially couldn't figure out what to do.  By the previous suggestion, I did find that the game worked when all CC was removed.

I solved the issue by:

• Removing all but 1 item of CC from my Mod folder (Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 4 > Mods)
• Starting the game
• Exit ad pop-up
• Uncheck "show at startup" for my CC pop-up
• Save changes
• Exit game
• Move CC back into folder (Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 4 > Mods)
• Start as normal

With only a single item in my Mod folder, I was able to exit the ad pop-up, but still get to the CC pop-up.

I hope this helps if anyone else has a similar issue!
