Re: sims 4 not responding on loading screen

@SarahGames8  As long as the game is working, I don't think you need to worry.  If and when it stops working again, let me know, and test again in a clean folder.

    @puzzlezaddict my issue is the folders i took out hold most of my cc clothing,kind details etc and I really want to keep those folders and I want to find the issues within them but its genuinely impossible as everytime I put one in by itself it works fine but the minute I add them back in with all my other mods its messed up I want to find whats causing it so I can remove it and go back to playing normally

    @SarahGames8  Anything that's fine, set it aside for later use.  Any group of files that are NOT fine, do the 50/50 method on them only.  Except, this time, whenever the game stops working, start over with a clean folder.  So if you add 20 files and the game stops working, test 10 of those files in a new folder.  If they're fine, test five of the other 10 files.  If they're NOT fine, create another new Sims 4 folder, and test two or three of those five files.

    @puzzlezaddict why do i need to create a fresh sims 4 folder each time? right now I'm dividing the faulty folders into multiple smaller folders to figure it out

    @SarahGames8  You've said previously that IF you add mods and the game stops working, removing these mods does not make the game work again, but a new folder does.  So removing half the mods that made the game stop working is not a reliable test—the game might keep not working even after you remove the actual problem mod.  Creating a new user folder each time gets around this problem.
