@tiredvillainess You might want to do a full reset:
- Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
- Run a Game Repair
- Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
- Start with New to test if your issue recurs.
If that works, start putting old content back into the new folders.
- tiredvillainess11 months agoRising Rookie@luthienrising Hi, so I did this and it really wasn't working, so I ended up restarting my mods folder all over again. It finally started to work recently, but since the new update, the same problem has recurred with my mods/cc apparently being corrupted again, even though most of my mods are new with less than 10 script mods, and like a 1/3 of what I've played with before. The time it takes to load for my game to open has gotten longer despite the downsizing. I really am so frustrated that nothing feels like its working. Do you have any other advice?
- luthienrising11 months agoHero+@tiredvillainess It really can be just quantity still. Everyone's computer setup has a limit to what its hardware can prcess. If the issue is how long Sims 4 takes to start, one thing to do is to turn off the game setting that shows the list of CC/mods on startup. If it's your save load time, that's about the size of your save. You can try manually deleting households in Household Manager (if you have tons of them) and deleting photographs from Sim inventories and walls.

@tiredvillainess What are the full specs of your Mac? Click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of the screen, select About This Mac, and list everything there except for the serial number. Please also list the free and total storage; here's how to find it:

Please also let us know whether iCloud Drive is syncing the contents of your Documents folder. Here's how to check:
I'm not saying you need to change any settings now, just asking about your current setup.

I have an M1 2020 MacBook Air. Memory is 8GB and macOS is Sequoia 15.1.1
I have 245 GB of total storage, and so far I've used 190GB with 54GB left over.
My iCloud is 50 GB and full. I don't think everything I've downloaded is synced to iCloud, but I've been able to play for months with no problem before despite this.
That's my spec list so far.
