Re: Pose wont delete from my game

Hi @mwisdom8

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.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

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.

    I think i did it wrong. When you said make a back up Sims 4 folder do you mean put Sims 4 in another folder and rename it back up?

    I mean copy the entire folder to either a different place on your hard drive or an external drive.

    (make sure to copy not move)

    When you mean copy the folder, do I copy the folder that has the mods and stuff in it because that would be the Sims 4 folder that already has the mods in it so when you said after it works add back the mods folder and ext. But it's already in the Sims 4 file. Sorry to bother you.

    It's a bit of double security.

    If you rename the Sims folder, you have of course all the files still but making an extra copy is just to make sure that when manipulating the folder with renaming and putting stuff pack, nothing can go wrong, cause you still have that other backup somewhere safe.

    Hope that makes sense.
