Unable to enter Gameplay mode after New update 2024

I’m just wondering if anyone is able to help me, I recently updated my Game for the new Life and Death patch, and ever since my game has been acting funny. 

I have gone through all my mods folders and deleted everything that is from previous years and I have updated all the important script mods such as WW, Basemental, MC Command, UI Cheats and control any sim. 

My game is able to load and enter CAS, but once I’ve created a household I can’t enter Gameplay mode and it gets stuck on the loading screen for hours. I’ve created a new game folder and I’ve deleted old saves in case they were causing a problem. Also as well, I can’t figure out which mod is causing all the sim icons such as main menu and the icons in my game to go funny, for example in create a sim where likes and dislikes is, it’s showing a play station controller. As well as, when I enter a name for one sim and select gender, it then copy’s it onto the other sim and I don’t know what’s causing it. 

I’ve also gone through broken mods list and I have no idea. I only download mods from Curseforge or Patreon sites that I know is good, and only download mods that YouTube sim creators recommend. 

Is anyone else having this problem or knows how to help me fix this problem because I don’t want to lose more of my game progress, and start from scratch 😭 I’ve been playing this save file for over a year know and I’m already sad that I have to start from scratch again.

  • @Aaliyah2106 Also I have been deleting localthumbcache.package after deleting mods and before restarting my game, I have also repaired my game countless times now.

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
