    1. Move the mods folder to the desktop.
    2. Find and delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
    3. Fix the game in Origin.
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    4. Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if the game is working now properly without mods
    5. Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
    Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK.
    Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. (Divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

    Here is the list of broken mods

    Same here as well. When I load or create a new game, it goes to the “manage worlds” screen as it’s supposed to. But once I try to play the household, it sends me back to “manage worlds” after “loading”. This problem has started once eco lifestyle launched. And has continued ever since. Even with the 2-3 updates that were released shortly after. 
    Yes, I do have some script mods (and it’s counterpart mods) but they are all up to date and compatible with the new “updates”. When I log in the last exception file only 3 errors pop up, which come up inconclusive/unknown. Leaving me with no help. I’m assuming maybe a different mod is “outdated” (Although I did some spring cleaning (deleting)). How can I fix this household problem and/or find the outdated mods if that is the root of my problem?

    @idk3250 Hope You Got It Fixed Thanks To @kreatora I Was Able To Find The Culprit. I Was Able To Figure It Was A Script Mod And To Save People The Pain Of Trying To Figure Which One Might Be Crashing Their System: TS4 Passionate Romance MOD Was Mine. Happy Simming
