TS4 won't launch

hi everyone!! I haven't played in a while and last week I decided to regain the habit of playing more frequently (planned on creating a new save file and everything). so I got a 1T SSD card where I installed the game (through the EA app) and created the EA folder with all my mods and cc. I reorganized my whole mods folder, deleted and upgraded every mod I had and deleted a bunch of unused cc, but when I tried to open the game I kept getting this error upon launch (the app wouldn't even open) 

60c399f9:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b 

so I tried removing the said corrupted file but it would just show the same error over and over again with different files. I then did a clean boot, and the game finally loaded. so then I tried to add my mods again, tried doing the 50/50 method, tried creating new folders on the new EA Mods folder and added de files one by one, I even tried just adding the files, no folders or subfolders, and I kept getting the same error every time. now I know for a fact none of my mods are broken or in need of update, like I said, I updated everything and thoroughly checked every single mod I had before, so I really don't know what could possibly be the cause for this. I've read every single forum thread, reddit thread, watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and nothing helped. I really miss playing :,) has anyone found a good solution for this? fyi. I have a MacBook Air M3 from 2024.

  • turns out my external file needed to be formatted to AFPS and not ex-FAT :/  I missed that completely. bluebellflora's tutorial really helped!!

    Where is your Sims 4 folder located? In the local Documents folder or have you moved it to the external drive and created a symlink to it in your Documents folder?

    Yep! It's always a bit of a giveaway if you get the error message even with just one piece of CC you know should work 😊
