Sims 4 Household wont open
So I know there has been an issue with this for others, but mine is a bit different. So I've played with many mods before and after i'm done making a sim I can go straight to a lot and build a house ...

Hi @MojoJojoTMM
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
So I've reset my factory settings and it's like a brand new game. I am able to go into a household just fine (but without any mods and cc). So if I wanted to add my mods and cc back would I just add a few at a time to the mods folder and see if I can access a household and continue doing it until I run across a problem and delete the recently added ones or is there a faster way to do that.
This is the fastest method: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content
You can also run your cc through Sims4Studio or use the mod conflict detector for issues with the files among themselves.
They can help but don't find everything, especially if it's game conflicts.
- Ok thanks, I’ll try that.
- Problems solved. I downloaded a mod finder for all of the “broken” mods I had. Unfortunately I had to delete some of my favorites, but it’s better that I can actually play the game now and still have some of my cc. Thank you so much for the help 🙂
