@thesaturngirl561 Please let me know what step or steps are giving you trouble right now. Please also post a new dxdiag since the previous one is somewhat old.
alright, so. My sims was finally able to be opened on this blessed day, but some things are off. 1. I can't use cheats: I've already pressed the basics; Ctrl + shift + c, but I've tried motherlode, kaching, money xx, and it still doesn't work. 2. all my mods and cc have disappeared: Every file, every mod, every hair, every piece of clothing that I had downloaded for the past year had disappeared, mainly because: 3. my game had reset. And when I mean reset, I mean reset. All of my characters, all of the custom houses, all of my progress. Gone. Maybe some might say that I just need to redownload the mods and cc, and that might sound a lot simpler than it really is. With over 300+ cc and mods that take a pretty complex step by step to download, it seems like such a hassle to get all of it back. One more weird thing is that I still have the old files of cc and mods, yet it doesn't show up when I play the game.
@thesaturngirl561 For the cheats, can you see the letters appearing in the cheat box? If so, what happens when you click Enter/Return? Have you tested the cheats in live mode? Some only work there.
For the missing mods and custom content, the files need to be in the Sims 4 folder the game is currently reading, and this location may have changed since you were last able to play (due to Windows stuff). Here's how to find it:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
Please make sure the entire path matches from the drive letter to "The Sims 4." You can see the location of a mod or cc item by right-clicking the file and selecting Properties > General.
If you're not sure what you're looking at, please list both paths here. Please also post a screenshot that shows some of the files that aren't loading, as in, I'd like to see their names and sizes.
