Re: Why cant i create a new game

@gabyxlol  The fact that the game works in a clean folder means that the problem is something in your old folder, and you'll need to find out what.  Start here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mods-CC-Issues/CAS-infinite-loading-screen-after-23-07-update/m-p/13898929#M64494

For anything not covered in that thread, please see this list of mods known to be broken in general:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mods-CC-Issues/Broken-Obsolete-and-Updated-Sims-4-Mods-1-108-July-23-2024-Game/td-p/13891143

You'll need to test anything else you want to use that's not on one of the lists, and discard the mods that stop the game from working again.

Once you've done that, you can transfer the files in saves, Tray (saved households and builds), Screenshots and Recorded Videos if you care about those, plus the UserSetting.ini file for the login rewards.  The rest can be discarded.

    Sorry, i've been really busy recently and haven't been able to respond. I've deleted what mods i thought were the problem, but when you say transfer the files, where do i transfer them?

  • @gabyxlol  If you moved the Sims 4 folder to the desktop and let the game create a new one, that means all your previous content is still in the folder on the desktop.  You can transfer the files I listed from that folder to the new Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts.
