my sims 4 game is screwed up, help.

Question

Hello everyone. I have never made a post on here as every time I have had an issue with this game I've been able to figure it out myself or by reading other articles. But, this time however, I am at a complete stump and have no idea what to do. My game is seriously messed up.I've been playing the sims 4 ever since it came out and played the previous versions of the game. It's been a long run. I've never, ever, had my game messed up as bad as it is right now and I have done everything to fix it. I am also very conscious of the cc I download and currently have no mods in my game folder.The problems:I had this issue a week or so but I fixed it but it's back and worse than ever. Basically, the game was working fine this week since I fixed it, custom content, mc command center, everything was working fine. I was a happy human. Until yesterday when I went on to play after a day or so of being busy, half of my cc was missing from the game and it wouldn't load me into my house hold. I tried to fix it by removing faulty mods (I have a mod conflict detector), deleting localthumbcache.package. options.ini, removing the cache. Everything. I know it's not my computer because it's a brand new HP desktop and all my other games work fine on it. I've checked the mods/script mods to allow, restarted, repaired, updated, everything.&nbsp;When I load up my game;&nbsp;it doesn't load me into my household that I have spent so many hours on. The save is not gone but when I click on the household they show up bald and naked with only the maxis * I included in their outfits but every other household shows up fine with the cc.Now, when I click play, it loads and then brings me to the world selection and shows the message "the game failed to load. error code 109" I've included screenshots of my game errors and mods folder. Then when I go back into the world my household was in, they aren't there anymore. I am aware that the error message does that when there are faulty/outdated mods but the conflict detector didn't detect any. And I have no script mods in my game. My game is set to not update on it's own either, I do it manually so it doesn't cause problems and there was no update since yesterday.I seriously don't care what people see I just need some help I'm desperate. I've spent so much money and time on this damn game I really love it. I'm just pissed as hell. Please help, bless ya souls. If you need any more information than what I have given just ask I will gladly give it to you.&nbsp;

@sommercreaterOne corrupted CC is enough to broke your game.Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"Step 2. Fix the game in OriginOrigin/ My games library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one newStep 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with random sims and play by 5 minutes.If the problem disappearedStep 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:"saves" and Tray.Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.Step. 7. Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems fileIf you don't have mods and CC skip next stepStep 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.Then copy and paste your mods and CC from the old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)Step. 10. Launch the game and check if this problem also disappeared in this old save. However, it may happen that although the new saves will not have this error anymore, the old save will remain damaged.The last step - delete The Sims4 old folder.Your saves and library will be not changed or damagedI don't work for EA

Hello kindly, thanks for your help. I did everything you asked as listed in your reply. I think maybe my save is damaged? I sorted through my cc before putting it back into the new folder, as the game worked when I removed it and tested it for 5 minutes as you said to do.

It also worked when I added the save/tray back with the cc but the cc didn’t show up. Then I restarted it and sorted again and the household still brings me back to the world selection with the same error. I have no mods in my game btw just clothes, accessories, makeup, hair, and furniture.

Seems as as though I may have to start fresh with new cc and a new game all together :/.

Do you think my save is broken?

@sommercreaterI don't think your save is broken,There are a lot of CC after the last patch is no longer compatible with the game. Most CC Showers confirmed as broken. Some of the CC objects from building mode probably are broken by this patch also. CC Hair: WINGS-ON0815 will cause UI glitches. Beds, bookcase by Peacemaker are broken.Unfortunately, you have to test these CC as described above. One broken CC is enough for the game not to work properly

Okay thank you, I will sort through everything again and let you know!

Hi, I am having the same problem since the new nov 2020 update, and the current game I was playing was very special to me. Did you find a solution in the end?
