Update Broke Your Game? Quick Fix Inside 🚫🛠️

Sul Sul!

Hi everyone, this is really frustrating. I’m fairly new to The Sims 4, and after about 500 hours, I’m completely hooked.

With the latest update (released on March 17), the game won’t launch properly for many of us. Mods aren’t working, and the game gets stuck on a black screen. The only way out is to close it using Task Manager.

If you really want to play, there is a simple workaround. You’ll need to remove your Mods folder from the game and place it on your desktop for now. Then create a new, empty Mods folder in the game files. After that, the game should start normally again.

Just keep in mind that this means playing without any mods.

I’m waiting for EA to fix the issue so I can add my mods back. In the meantime, it’s a good chance to organise your files.

Hope this helps, and happy Simming!
