hi, ive been having the same issue for about 3 weeks now. ever since the update, my game hasn't been responding and I've tried literally everything, everything you named as well. I even went to the Apple store to see if it was an issue with my mac, but they told me it must be an issue with the new Sanoma update. if anybody has figured out a way to fix this, please let me know! I'm just waiting for a new update at this point.
Hi @emmymaurice When you tested without the Mods folder and deleted localthumbcache, did Sims 4 start?
yes, sims 4 seems to work without any mods. i’ve tried everything i can think of, even everything the user above named. i didn’t find any broken mods or anything that could mess with my files.
@emmymaurice In that case, you'll need to do a 50-50 on your Mods folder. This means organizing the files there into bite-size batches (with any files they require, like XML Injector or a Core Library mod or mesh) and testing one batch at a time. For each test, delete the file called localthumbcache, then put only that batch in Mods. If your game behaves as you expect, set that batch aside as "cleared" and delete localthumbcache again. If it doesn't behave as you expect, take out half the batch and see if you're closer to finding the culprit. Remember to delete localthumbcache each time. You'll find some 50-50 method tutorials online too. Once you isolate the file, you can go find out if there's an updated version.
