Sims 4 Stuck on Loading Screen After Adding Mods

Question

I’m having trouble launching The Sims 4. When all of my mods are in the game folder, I get the following error:

Unable to start: Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. If you have Mods installed, please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin.

[de4ee14f:29f00e76:00000000;4b0d852b]

But when I remove the hair mods, the game launches and then gets stuck on the loading screen and eventually stops responding. If I remove all mods, the game works normally. However, when I add the mods back, it gets stuck again.

I’ve tried repairing the game multiple times, but the issue keeps happening and I still can’t play.

Please help me. :(

gjrachelle​ If the game launches when you remove a hair, please start at Previously Broken mods and CC to find known broken hairs. If you still can't launch after that, do &nbsp;50-50 testing of your hair files.
For your other mods, start again at Previously Broken mods and CC for mods that don't have an updated version (many of these can still be downloaded!). There's also the pinned Broken and Updated Mods and CC thread for the current patch.&nbsp;

Thank you so much! I tried the 50/50 method and removed the broken CCs. The game launched successfully, but when I tried to load my save file, it got stuck on the loading screen again. However, when I started a new save file, the game worked properly. I think my old save file might be corrupted and it sucks :( that was my 3-year old save file :(
