Re: Sims 4 Stuck on Loading Screen

One of my CC items was not compatible with the game. I had to go through all my CC to see which one was causing the issue. Once I discovered which one it was, I removed it from the game and the game ran fine. If you also have this issue, try using the half and half solution to discover which CC item is causing the issue and remove it from the game.

    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.

    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)
    • 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.

    What if you have 300+ mods/cc and only one of them refuses to let your game start? Do you know how to find the exact file that is screwing your experience up?

    Hi, Do you remember which file was it? I have the same problem and it is due to my custom content.

    Hi all. 


    Since this is a rather old thread that was dormant for quite a while I've gone ahead and locked it. 

    If you need some help with a similar issue feel free to post a new thread, and we can take a look. 

    Thanks!
