@Cheiken77&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hi!&nbsp; Are you still having trouble with this?&nbsp; If so, I suggest removing your mods and seeing if the game works properly without them.&nbsp; Probably the best thing to do is use game options -&gt; Save as... to create a new save (maybe name it something like Mod Free Testing), then drag your Mods folder to the desktop and start the game.&nbsp; A new, empty Mods folder (with a new Resource file) will be generated and all your mods / CC will be safe in the folder on the desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp; You also want to delete&nbsp;the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing.&nbsp; Now load the Mod Free save and see if your sims will eat.&nbsp; If that's the case then you know one of your Mods or CC is the culprit and you can start testing them to see which one is causing the problem.&nbsp;Click the spoiler below for some suggested steps for testing mods / CC.Spoiler (Highlight to read)1. Create a new game for testing or use the Mod Free save you created.&nbsp; This way your current save is left unchanged until you've identified the problem mods/CC.2. Create some folders on your desktop; perhaps one labeled "Tested Safe Mods-CC", another labeled "Mods-CC Needs Testing" and one more labeled "Broken Mods-CC" so you know which ones to check for updates. This will keep tested mods/CC separated.3. Exit the game if you haven't already, and divide your mods/CC in half; put one half in the Needs Testing folder and put/keep the other half into the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 / Mods folder.4. Delete the localthumbcache.package file, located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game with the half you're testing,5. If the game works with that half, exit the game, move that half to the Safe Mods-CC folder and move the remaining "Needs Testing" mods back to the Mods folder to test (Again, delete that cache file before opening the game.)6. Once you know which half is causing the issue, divide those in half, keeping one half in the "Needs Testing" folder and one half in your Mods folder, and test again (delete the cache file each time after moving mods/CC and before opening the game) and moving mods/CC not causing problems into the Safe folder.7. Repeat this process until you find all that are broken.1.
