Re: Sims 4 pinwheel of death

@JJJxiii

Move the Sims 4 folder to the desktop, launch the game, activate Mods, enable vsync in game options, then quit. Don't move over any pervious content such as saves but move just one piece of CC into the newly created Mods folder. What happens? If you get the error, could you please post a screenshot of it?

    Hello!

    That solution worked until I added in my lots cc folder. Since then, the pinwheel and subsequent error message has appeared every time I try to start the game. I think I'm just going to restart my lots cc folder and see if that works. I've attached a picture of what the error message looks like. It must be noted that this error message did not show up until I added in my lots cc folder.

    Thanks, screenshots are always helpful. It's a CC/Mods issue as a clean vanilla game is working on your Mac. Moving your thread to the Game and Mods forum for better troubleshooting 🙂

    Hi @JJJxiii Remove the CC file that's named in that image and delete the localthumbcache file (to cover anything about that CC file that the game has put in "memory"). That might be enough to solve your issue.
