Sims 4 Game Does Not Exit Build Mode After I Already Exited

Hello,

A few weeks back, I tried to exit out of build mode, only to find that I'm basically on spectator, where the only thing that I can do is go into the tutorial, and the game shows as paused. I have 624 mods downloaded (probably closer to 620), that including MCCC and ModGuard. The paused is likely because I pause the game before going into Build Mode. Could one of the mods be causing this? I have all of my updates, considering I'm mostly forced to. If the issue is not the mods, then how do I fix my game without deleting any mods? *EDIT* I should also add that if I go back into the same game, it fixes, but breaks again when I go back and out into Build Mode. On top of that, I cannot exit out of the game unless I restart my whole computer.

  • @ya5lp1e1skvi To test if it is a mod causing this, do a "vanilla" test: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    If that works, it's time to look for known Broken/Updated Mods & CC in the pinned list I've linked you to. If the lists there don't solve your issue, you can do a 50-50 (see the instructions linked here) to identify the culprit. Each time you delete a broken mod, delete the localthumbcache file. For updated mods, be sure to delete the old version.
