  • I found a new issue I cant solve? For some reason when I exit out of pop ups or when the popups dont show up my game works then freezes forever,  Like, I know it's not a cache issue or a sims 4 folder issue. It has to do with like a mod in specific but because I have like 6000 mods I dont know which. I didn't download any new ones either. The mouse in game still works, just everything else is frozen

    @Tomdoesntcare Unfortunately, apart from checking for known broken and updated mods and CC in lists (like mine on the Sims Forums), you might have to do a 50-50 to narrow it down.

    First, move your Mods folder to your desktop, make a copy of your Saves there (in case you forget to exit without saving), and delete the file called localthumbcache. If all is good, you can start testing on separate batches of mods to narrow down.
