    @magicmeadows  Try pulling your entire TS4 game folder out of Documents and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game again, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  This will get rid of any potential leftover mod-related issues, as well as clear your cache files.  (It's also a good diagnostic tool in general.)  If you can play in the clean folder for a bit, you can try copying one of your saves into it from your old folder.  You could also download new versions of a few mods, after checking to make sure that the creators have updated them to be compatible with your patch level.

    It should also be noted that Seasons increased the demands that TS4 puts on your hardware.  While you should still be able to play, you might need to lower your graphics settings from what they were before.

@magicmeadows, please note that whenever Sims 4 is updated via a new patch or new content, that Mods must be updated as well. I always advise people to keep notes on where they download their mods from and to check those sites when they see that a new patch or content has been released. Most Modders will post to say their mods had been updated to work with the latest patch or content. I also advise to turn Automatic Updates off to allow you time to check these sites to see if the mods have been updated or need to be updated. New patches and content change certain code in the game or fix issues that mods may have been created to fix and no longer are needed.
