Sims 4 won't launch with mods in mods folder

Game launches no problem when no mods or CC are installed, but when I add mods to the Mods folder, I get the error in the attached photo. Doesn't matter what mods or CC I put in, even if it's fully updated and confirmed functioning, my game won't launch.

  • @FelixAoiSuzumori  Please move the entire Mods folder to the desktop and launch the game to create a new one.  Then download a fresh copy of one mod known to be updated for the current patch and test it.  If you get the same error, trash that mod, then download a different mod using a different browser and try again.

    @FelixAoiSuzumori  It's worth repairing the game first: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  Again add just one mod you know has been updated and test.

    If you get the same error with the single mod, move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  Launch the game to create a new folder, enable mods and custom content, then quit and add one mod to the new Mods folder.  If that works, you can move your saves and other content from the old Sims 4 folder to the new one.  It's best not to move any files that regenerate on their own, for example cache files; just move the stuff you'd be sad to lose, like the contents of Tray.
