Script mods are damaging my game
I have cc for my sims game and it works just fine. But if I simply turn on script mods for my game I can’t play any households. I can create characters, but that’s about all. Whenever my curser hover...

@avalynn1206 The issue you've described is due to a corrupt or outdated mod, and the only fix is removing that mod, and reverting to an earlier save if you've saved your progress with the mod in place. This is one of many reasons it's best to test out your mods first, before trying to play forward with them.
Go into Documents\Electronic Arts, right-click on the Sims 4 folder and select Copy, then right-click on your desktop (or wherever you want) and select Paste; now you have a backup copy of your entire user data folder. You can add the mods you'd like to use to the copy that's still in Documents\Electronic Arts and try them out. If you get the blue square issue, quit without saving, you'll need to start testing the mods in groups to find out which one(s) cause the issue.
If you ever get muddled about what goes where, or you save your progress by accident, you can always delete the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and copy over your backup. Be sure to always copy, not drag and drop, so you'll still have a clean backup no matter what happens.
To be clear, any compressed files (ending in .zip, .rar, 7z, etc.) won't be read by the game regardless of your settings. You need to unzip them first, and they should have either the .package or the .ts4script extension. You can unzip any .zip file with Windows; for others, 7-Zip is a useful (and free) tool. Be sure to remove the compressed versions from your Mods folder as well.
