When clicking the play button to play a household, it redirects to manage worlds and you cannot play any sims, regardless of which household you try to get into.

    This issue has been due to incompatible mods in the past.

    Could you please provide the following information

    -  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.

    I do use mods, but I went and updated all of them to the newest mods. This issue is also still happening even with mods turned off

    Please try the clean folder approach described here: ๐Ÿ““[GUIDE] Clean User Folder Approach | EA Forums - 12690428 

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    • Delete the ones you have
    • Trigger the error again
    • Check if new ones are created
    • If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

     

    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    There are several references to mods in that report (I can see adeepindigo and LeRoiDeTout). Are you sure you've removed them?

    Going to move this to the mods folder as the LE still has many mods mentioned.

    Try the instructions I gave below and only put a copy of your save back.

    novabhanโ€‹ Most bounce-to-manage-worlds issues, when it affects ALL households not only ones you played before, currently result from having broken/outdated script mods from before August 2025. The patch the broken many (not all) script mods. Some were never updated, and most of those are listed in Previously Broken mods and CC

    Here are instructions on how to do a proper mod-free test: vanilla testing

    Please let me know if that works. Do the test on a household you have not played before.
