mods get outdated with patches though and you need to make sure everything is still working with the current patch level.
Try a backup of your save game to find out which of your mods potentially cause the issue, then when you found them, check for updates.
Here's a list of mods that broke with this patch: https://simsvip.com/2019/02/21/broken-mods-for-february-19-patch-strangerville-gp/
The list is not necessarily complete.
@pinksapphire10 : Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about as far as that's concerned. 🙂
Deleting the localthumbcache.package (which makes the game generate a new one when you play it; sorry I had the wrong name before, I was going by memory both times) is good practice whenever you add, remove, update, or change mods so that nothing is stuck in memory in your game that can cause problems.
Thanks StarryMight. After I replicated your steps, in Edit in CAS I updated with only non-customs/non-mods, like basic hair style and dress that came with the original game. After I clicked the check-mark, non of the updates were reflected in the live game. Looks like I am with the same problem. :/
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
