Re: Sims game won't load after Lovestruck (Mac player with CC)

Hi! I forgot to mention that I have also done the 50/50 method. The issue is that (for example, what I'm doing right now as I type this) is I've narrowed it down to the folder with all of my build mode CC in it. Inside that folder, I organize it base on room type and general CC creators. I've hit a point where I'm getting infinite screens for every CC creator folder I put back in. Just in case I'm not making sense, here's an example of what's happpening: I have a folder of just furniture that the CC creator Harrie has made. When I put that folder back in just now, I got an infinite loading screen even though yesterday, the Harrie folder (when I still had it in my Mods folder) wasn't causing any issues for me.

I put back some of my script mods, so I'm thinking that I might take those out for now and see if that helps any. I updated a few based on the Broken and Updated CC List you provided (thank you for that!), but I haven't looked at everything so maybe it's something there? Not sure, I just have never had an issue with my CC before, like out of all the updates and patches that have happened, my CC has never been a source of this huge of a problem, so I'm going to see if my mods are the issue first. But, there's also a first for everything, so I'll keep looking through CC after that.

Thanks so far though!

@nianoona Could you try this please?

1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
2. Launch Sims 4 and exit.
3. Newly download a new CC build/buy item and install it in the new mods folder (we're using a new download to rule out file issues in your current one)
4. Test to see if it works

Let me know how that goes, and also if you're on a PC or a Mac

Just tried it and everything worked fine. I downloaded a door arch that came with a CC collection that released within the last couple days. When I loaded into the game, the mesh was messed up on the arch (the site won't let me submit the photo, but the mesh was purple/pink/green instead of the color it was supposed to be), so I exited it out and got the rest of the collection. Once I downloaded it and loaded back in, the collection was fine so I think it was just a mesh issue within the collection itself. Other than that, the loading screens were normal and everything worked pretty well.

Also, I have a MacBook Pro!

EDIT: No longer having infinite loading screens. The game does load, however it is very finicky. When the plumbob is spinning and goes up, the loading screen takes around 5 minutes (if not more) to load into the game. However, it's finicky because if I move my mouse on the loading screen, I'll get the MacBook rainbow/loading mouse and then the game will get stuck and will say that the Sims "isn't responding" and I have to force quit.

If I don't do that and don't touch the mouse at all, the game will load, but it takes literally forever. So I guess that's my new issue is that the loading screen does technically load, but it takes forever and is very sensitive to not responding if I touch anything while it's loading.

I know it sounds weird. I've literally never had this happen to me so I'm not sure what to make of it.

Thanks!

Update! My game is officially back to normal again! It still doesn't run amazing 100% of the time and has some lag, but like you mentioned, my computer isn't built for bigger games like TS4 so I'm not too upset about that and am just happy it's working again.

The issue was that I think I just had way too many broken mods to count and because I had so many, I didn't notice some I hadn't updated in like a year. For anyone else that stumbles upon this, the only solution is to just deep clean your mods folder and clean out your CC.

Thanks again for the help!
