they aren't in the mods folder which they were as i deleted all the mods i had but these just keep reappearing in the sims 4 folder, i have attached a picture of everything that comes up when i go onto the game and no mods are loaded in the game as i have deleted them all but these ones just keep reappearing in the folder and i think this is whats making my game lag and repeat itself.
My antivirus is McAfee
@stephaniem1996 The files in your screenshot aren't mods, they're other data that the game creates. Please see this article for an explanation of the files in your user folder:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/user-files-explained/
Some files will regenerate every time you start the game; others will only be created under specific circumstances. But their presence isn't a problem either way.
Aw right I see. I wonder why my game is lagging and repeating itself, thank you anyway for your help 🙂
@stephaniem1996 If you'd like help with the lag, please test a new save in a clean user folder. This doesn't mean you need to abandon your existing saves, only that it's worth narrowing down the source of the issue. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop; if it copies instead of moving, or you get an error when trying to move it, stop here and let me know.
Otherwise, when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and let me know how it runs.
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

If you're using CurseForge, you may have to change the settings for the game and deselect 'auto install updates'.
I had this problem because I sort my mods in sub-folders and Curseforge thinks there's an error/corruption if you put a download into your own sub-folder.
So far it’s been running ok with moving the folder to my desktop, I haven’t really used it that much to notice difference but so far so good.
thank you for your help
