Sim can't film an emotional vlog

I wanted to test it without mods, so I dragged my mods folder onto my desktop, but when I tried playing again, the loading screen got stuck while loading in my household, so I couldn't see if it works without mods. And when I add my mods back into my sims folder, my game launches, so that is also really weird. And no, the Sim is not an occult. Her sister is a mermaid, but she can film an emotional vlog.
