After January 2021 update

I have not been able to play Sims 4 at all. First problem was, the games choice of using or not to use mods and scripts didnt stay. I tried multiple times but nothing. Everytime i started the game mods and scripts were disabled. Well. i found solution to that. The txt-file, gameversion did show wrong version. I had already updated my game but the gameversion was still 1.69******* ... so i changed it manually. It worked. Now the mods and scripts are on like i want them to be. BUT!!!!!!! My saves wont open. I mean, they open that much i can open my household in CAS. But when i try to play the game.... it loads and then it opens only screen where the worlds are. I can open the worlds but lots dont open. In build-mode they open but it doesnt help much. And yes, i have tried almost every trick what i know.... Removed my saves, started a new game and saved it.... Repaired game multiple times... Checked my mods and if necessary updated them or removed them..... Cleared cache

    Okay, first things first. My original post wasnt very nice and it was edited by moderator.... and yes of course, it was the right thing to do. My deepest apologies of that. What comes to my problem, i have finally fixed it. I will give here a short version ( and of course without bad language). In case someone else is struggling with this kind of problem. Okay, yes im using mods... lots of mods. Almost 23Gt honestly speaking. And yes, im very aware of the risks when using them. But anyway, even i use them, they are very well organized and not all at the same folder. No, thats the biggest mistake. Thats why i was very confused and yes, frustrated. I was pretty sure that all my mods were up to date and if not, i had already removed them. I didnt get to play my household but i was able to go to build mode. I started to search any obvious signs from my house. And of course, before this i had already gone through all my mods just to see if there would be anything strange. In my house, there where piles of ashes, which comes when a mod or anykind of cc isnt working. Or at least i think thats the reason. Few of my carpets and some of the little decos where gone. I thought that, okay, thats not a big deal. But it doesnt help much. Finally, after a long seach, i noticed that something wasnt right with my audiosystem. Im already 41 years old and i know vinyls. And i had a vinyl player but it was gone. And one thing catched my eye, there was no ashpile in that place where the player was. Then i thought, hmmmm..... interesting. I quitted the game and started to search. After awhile i found it. Package file named record player. And when i looked files properties there was this text, this file is from an other computer and it has been protected. It gave a choice to allow it but i didnt took any risks anymore... my choice was to push delete. After doing this, problem was long gone. This kind of error was very new to me but im glad i have kept my mods in good order. Helps a lot in cases like this. File is named Record Player, its small picture in build mode is black and if i remember right it had bit of gold in it. I dont remember did it had any other colors. And sadly, i dont remember where i downloaded it. Must have been from MTS or TSR but i cant be sure. I must say, it was a longlasting problem and very well hidden... but now im yet again little smarter. And luckily, i was smart enough to get my cool back and not to rage myself to heart attack. It doesnt help very much. Hopefully this will help someone, someday.... Greetings from Finland!  -Jarkko-
