    Hi @Sugar_Apple_Pie,

    Go to Origin -> Right click on The Sims 4 cover -> Repair. This will repair The Sims 4 installation without having to reinstalling the whole game 🙂

      Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get it to work and instead had to use it on a different computer.

    How do you know which ones are corrupt? I have a lot of custom content!

      You move all of your custom content out of the Mods folder then move it back in in small batches, checking to see if the game loads after each batch. When it stops loading you know that the last batch you added has corrupt content so move it out then back in piece by piece, loading the game after adding each piece to check if it is still working.
