    @puzzlezaddictAh okay I will try that second option, since all my saves and other Sims content went onto an SSD (so the file path is D:/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4, no Documents folder involved).

    So basically I would just need to back up the saves, tray and mods folders? Or do I move EVERYTHING to the backup folder I've made? Sorry for the confusion, anything I tried last night was basically opening Origin and asking me to reinstall the game again.


    Saves and mods etc are always kept in your Documents folder. The place you install the game isn't the same place saves are stored. Don't be deleting or moving files from the place you installed the game. The rest of this post is referring to the place your saves and mods and Tray folder are found. The default location is - Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. 

    Unless you've been dragging your mouse through the game's Documents folder and clicking things into it and out at random, all you really want to do is remove your mods (to test if its your mods doing it), then delete the localthumbcache.package file (this step forces game to see your mod loadout has changed, always do this step when changing your mods - updating/adding/removing mods).

    If you do decide to do a full scale purge on the game's folder in Documents then yes, first back up your saves, Tray, and mods folders first.

    Just one more thing - if you really just plopped the saves etc files into some random folder on your D drive and not in a Documents folder, then reply back and say so! Because that will need fixing.
