Sims 4 Won’t Load With Mods

Hello! So recently my game is taking forever to load. I’m sure many people have had this problem. I have over 18000 mods and CC in my game but I cant load into any households I create. I mean, sure, cc and mods take longer to load then the game with no CC and mods. My PC does not meet all the requirements but it should be great enough to run sims with that many mods as I have done it in the past. I really enjoy Sims 4 and would love it if someone could help me fix it.

  • @DaGamerPerson Hello!  I agree with @Coley666 that you should test the game with a only a few mods and CC at a time.  Every time there is an update, there is a potential for mods and CC to become incompatible with the game.  You could start by organizing them all into categories.  Perhaps you could everything to separate folders on your desktop or to a thumbdrive.  For CC, create individual folders for CAS and BuildBuy items.  Then create subfolders for CAS items (tops, bottoms, makeup, hair, etc.) and BB items (living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc.).  For the Mods, you could try to separate them into function like UI, BuildBuy, Game play, etc.  Another option might be to group items by creator.  Then, when you're adding things back to your game, try to make sure they're no more than one folder deep; ie. Documents>Electronic Arts>Mods>*furnitureCC   I also suggest deleting the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing.  That cache file can carry over effects from mods.  Once you've identified any problems, check to see if there are updated versions.  It may take a while to get through them all but it will be worth it to get your game back and, having your mods / CC organized should help you identify problems later.

  • Are all of yours mods and CC up to date and working correctly? You may need to remove them all and slowly add them back in to see if there is a particular file causing an issue.
