Sims 4 Game Failed to Load
I'm having this issue where I'm getting the game failed to load error message. I've tried repairing, going back to an old save, uninstalling and reinstalling, and doing the 50/50 method with my cc and mods which I've gotten the weirdest outcome from.
So when I tried to do the 50/50 method I narrowed it down to my build/buy folder being the problem child. I divided the folder in half and put one half into a folder titled 50501 on my desktop. I opened the game and still got the error, so I exited and divided my build/buy folder up again and put the divided cc into new folder titled 50502 on my desktop. I went into game and the error didn't pop up.
Okay great, so the broken cc must be in the 50502 folder.
I took the contents from the 50502 folder and put them into my mods folder, and I put the cc that I already tested into the 50502 folders (I swapped them). I load the game to ensure that the contents in the 50502 folder were the culprit, but when I load the game I don't receive the error.
Idk what else to do, I've been trying to figure this out all today and all yesterday and I just want to play the dmn game. I put everything from my build/buy folder back into my mods folder and now I'm not getting the error at all, only when I add another folder into my game.
For example, I put my build/buy into my mods folder and only that folder. I load the game and don't get the error, so I move onto another folder, my builds folder. Load up the game, error pops up. I delete a few items from the folder and put all of the remaining items into a folder on my desktop and delete the now empty folder. I load the game and suddenly I get the error again with only my build/buy folder in my mods folder. I don't think this issue is save related either because I got this same error with a previous save file that I just ended up deleting because of the error. Can someone please help me out, I just want to play the sims!!!!
@serendiqiity That depends on whether the problem file is a problem all by itself or only in combination with another. It sounded like you might instead have a mod conflict:

It's easy enough to test though: if you do identify a file that reintroduces the error, test your game with only that file present, nothing else in the Mods folder, and see what happens. If the game doesn't load, trash that file. If it does load, you're looking at a conflict, in which case you could still trash that one file and be done with it, or you could leave it in and test your other content against it.
