sims not loading

Hii
So basically my sims 4 haven't been working since I last updated the game (2023.12.05.) The game loads but if I try to open the game options menu it just shows me a white window with 3 okay buttons and an x. I can only close this window if I press esc and then after that I can't click on anything else. I tried repairing the sims and EA and I removed all of my script mods but nothing changed. I have the Island Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs expansion packs.

  • @ebl4py0lsiai Not only script mods can cause an issue. Please start at Broken/Updated Mods . If that doesn't help, you might need to do a 50-50 on your Mods folder. This means organizing the files there into bite-size batches (with any files they require, like XML Injector or a Core Library mod or mesh) and testing one batch at a time. For each test, delete the file called localthumbcache, then put only that batch in Mods. If your game behaves as you expect, set that batch aside as "cleared" and delete localthumbcache again. If it doesn't behave as you expect, take out half the batch and see if you're closer to finding the culprit. Remember to delete localthumbcache each time. You'll find some 50-50 method tutorials online too. Once you isolate the file, you can go find out if there's an updated version.

  • Hey it's not just you apparently a lot of us are getting the same error message, or lack there of. Mine is doing the same exact thing as yours. I have also tried uninstalling and repairing the EA app as well with no luck. This website is showing everyone else who has reported similar issues. Very unfortunate, I believe the EA app is just down at the moment and we will just have to wait for the patch. I miss being able to play SIms4 on Origin; never had this many issues when playing on their server. 😞
