Is any one else having lauch problems with version 1.46.18.1020

So after the recent Caribbean update last night, my game closes the software after the sims 4 logo appears. I have no clue whether it could be the update, the fact that I just purchased get to work, or a corrupt mod. Is anyone else having the same problem?

  • Hi 

    are you using Road to Fame ? That mod is known to cause this issue and needs updating. There's also another that I don't wanna name here.

  • Hi! Yeah, I had this exact issue too :/ 

    Turns out the source of the issue was the road to fame mod. I moved it out of my mod folder and my game appears to be working fine now (fingers crossed)

    If playing with mods and custom content, move your mods folder to the desktop, clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting.

    Try playing the game again to test without the mods folder. If it loads okay, it may be that some of the mods/cc have become outdated.

    How to Delete Cache Files

    Custom content can become outdated with most new game patches. If the game works when the Mods folder is removed, then one or more of the mods and/or custom content has become outdated and will need to be removed or replaced. EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.

    Disabling or turning off both mod/cc options isn't enough of a test.

    Try the 50/50 method:

    1. Move all the mods and cc out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
    2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
    3. Delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder.
    4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.

    ** While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.

    If you've already been through your mods folder and cleared the game cache, try the tips below:

    1. Repair Game:
    In Origin > Games Library, right-click on Sims 4 and select Repair.

    2. Turn off Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application Settings - Origin In-Game. Turn this off. As sometimes it causes issues with the game.

    3. Start the game in Windowed mode:
    In Origin - Games Library tab, right-click on Sims 4 and select Game Properties - In the Command Line Arguments, add the following text: -w and click Okay.
