Sims4 won’t start if CC is in folders
I’ve been trying for hours to get my game to work with CC, but the game refuses to launch. I’ve tried a gazillion different things, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the game refuses to launch if...

This sounds like the game is not reading the resource.cfg file. What does yours look like? I have all my mods and CC in subfolders. Most are two and three folders deep. Everything shows and the game runs fine. I have around 2,700 files at just over 5GB. It only takes my game about 2 minutes to load into a lot. My resource.cfg file looks like this:
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package
With this file, I can go as deep as 5 subfolders and the game runs fine.
Another thing it could be is a few broken files or files that conflict with each other (default replacements mostly) that the game keeps trying to read when loading. I suggest you go through your CC to make sure everything actually works and you do not have conflicting default replacements. One way to do that is to use Sims 4 Studio to look at every file. With that program, you can view each item on a 3D model however, default replacements will not give you a visual. Those will need to be looked at, one at the time in CAS. When I last did that, I found a number of files that were broken and had never shown up in the game. I also removed a lot of things that I thought were neat when I downloaded them but then never used. After removing the broken files and the stuff I never used, I found that my game ran a lot smoother and loaded faster. It will take a while to go though as much as you have but I think it might be worth it to you to make the effort.
Hope this helps.
