Re: Cannot delete mods and Sims 4 wont start with them

@Otourd89Did you try to repair the game at this stage already? Are the leftover mods still in the folder? And if yes, can you delete them now?

The rest of the content seems to be alright to me except for the great amount of TMP-files.

You have been able to delete the localthumbcache.package so you might also be able to rename the game folder.

    Thank you all for the help, I finally was able to delete the mod and launch the game! 🙂

    Do any of you have any idea of why my game did not launch with the SoL mod? :/ Was it placed incorrectly?

    @Otourd89 At what point did you get stuck ? On loading a save or on loading the game itself ? Any errors ?

    I assume you initially had more files than the screenshot shows ?

    @crinrict It was the game itself that I couldn't start. And, yes, there were more files in the SoL mod folder but I was able to delete them when I noticed I wasn't able to start the game. For some reason it was only some certain files (the ones shown in the screenshots) that I couldn't delete.
    An error appeared when I tried starting the game, that said something about there possibly being an error and checking mods.

    @Otourd89 Maybe you downloaded an older version ? Did you get it from kawaiistacie site directly ?

    Version 4.1 should be the one to run with Patch  1.61

    @Otourd89 Maybe a conflict with some other mod then. Really hard to tell. I would suggest asking at kawaiistacie page. Maybe it's a known issue.

    @crinrict I was able to create a new Sims 4 folder and I then made a separate folder in mods for SoL in which I extracted the files. I'm happy to tell that the game at least starts now (even if that means that I will start from scratch), I just need to check that the mod works within the game 🙂

    Thank you to both of you for your help! I almost thought that I had ruined my game!

    @Otourd89 It's not that easy to ruin the game 😉

    Anyways, best is to always keep backups of your save before adding new mods in case something does go wrong.
