Re: Sims won't open after I got the Realm of Magic Pack

@0508spoon

1. Move the mods folder to the desktop.
2. Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game, also delete all folders with the word "cache" in the name - important!
3. Fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
4. Turn on the game - hope it will work without mods - to create a new, empty mods folder
5. Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK.
Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)

  • I had the same issue, and I did a bit of research only to find out a lot of responses are only saying to take out your mods, repair the game and put the mods back in to figure out whichever mod is causing the issue, and let's face it that's annoying to do bc anyone who has mods for the sims ends up downloading a lot. I was experiencing a different glitch where my Sim would just stand there which was an issue with the game itself not any mods, and it dawned on me the fix might work for this too, it's a cheat to reset a sim. When I ended up trying it it solved my issue, the vendor walked back to the shop and opened up within a few seconds.

    You would do the following:

    Ctrl + shift + c 

    The cheats bar should pop up in the top left of your screen, type into the bar this and hit enter:

    testingcheats true

    Then type in this followed by the whatever the vendor sims full name is and press enter:

    resetsim 

    And to turn off the cheats again you type in:

    testingcheats false

    Then press enter and escape to close the bar
