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.
yes, i have already done that step, twice. they all work until I put them all together. since doing a little more research, it seems like maybe the new Sanoma update is messing things up a little. so now I guess ill just be waiting for another update?

The game runs fine in macOS Sonoma. Your game works without Mods but not with your combination of Mods. Something in your Mods folder is causing this, could be an outdated Mod, broken Mod or Mods conflicting. Do the 50/50 method to figure out which Mod(s) is the trigger to breaking your game. It’s annoying and requires effort but is sometimes required when adding 3rd party content into your game.
