    @LadyT29138  Please move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  Open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  Then launch the game, which will create a new Sims 4 folder.  Don't add anything to it yet.

    Start a new save, play for a bit, save, quit, open the game again, and see whether you can still play that save.  If you can, then try moving one of the backup saves from before into the new user data folder.  Again, don't add anything else aside from the one save you're testing.

    @LadyT29138  Please clear Origin's cache:

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    Then restart your computer, and repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  Go into Documents\Electronic Arts and move the Sims 4 folder to the desktop, or delete it if it doesn't have anything you want in it.  (You may need to change its name to move it to the desktop, if your old folder is still there.)  Try to start another new save, and let me know whether it works.

    @LadyT29138  So the flickering is gone, but the game doesn't work?  What happens when you try to play?  Does a new save work correctly?

    @LadyT29138  Is this after you moved the Sims 4 folder?  You shouldn't be able to see your existing sims, or your saves, or anything else you've created in-game.

    If you're still seeing your content, that means the game is reading a different folder, not the one you've moved.  Please go to the Main Menu, click Load Game, hover over the folder icon underneath the name for one of your saves, and write it here.  The second screenshot in this article shows where to find the info:

    @LadyT29138  You can change it later; it's not that complicated.  But please leave that alone for now.  Just move the Sims 4 folder that's on C (the one in Documents\Electronic Arts) to your desktop.  The point is to get a new version of this folder, one that doesn't have any content in it at all, and see whether a new save works in this new folder.

    @LadyT29138  Are you saying that the game works normally if you have no mods, but you get the error if you add your mods?  In that case, it's clear that one of your mods is the problem.  You can test them separately, adding a few at a time to the Mods folder in your Sims 4 folder.  Don't move over the entire Mods folder; let the game create a new one and then add the mods to that.

    You may have a corrupt or outdated mod of some kind, or it's possible that one of your mods doesn't work with the patch level of your game or with the packs you have installed.

    If you can't get any mods to work at all, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    @LadyT29138  Some errors that MCCC flags are harmless, and others need to be addressed.  Is your game crashing, or glitching, or otherwise acting strangely?  If not, you can probably ignore the errors.  If you are having trouble, try testing the same in-game actions (for example, having your sims make fizzy drinks) in a new save, and see whether you get the same errors.

    The bottom line is, some features of Sims 4 don't work as well as they should, and MCCC will find and report errors in just about any save.  But if you're not having other issues, you're probably fine.

    @LadyT29138  You shouldn't have to pay for any mods.  They're all supposed to have free versions, and MCCC and most other good ones release the free ones soon after a patch.

    Is your game working correctly or not?
