Sims 4 Stuck on Loading Screen

I have had the Sims 4 for a while, I can't remember exactly, but I've had it for maybe over a year and a half. Over the summer of 2015 I was downloading custom content with my friend, so we could hav...

    This is a CC problem sadly. I suggest taking all your CC out and testing the game without it.

    When the game runs fine without you'll have to find the broken CC. You can do that with the 50/50 method, where you put half in and test the game, and keep splitting until you find the broken CC.

    There is also a program or mod that you can run, but I don't know the name, and I couldn't link it on this forum. So you'll have to Google that.

    The problem with CC and mods is that when the game updates the CC/mods sometimes need an update as well. So your game hasn't worked since 2015, and we had a lot of updates since then, so it's very likely your CC and mods are outdated and need either an update, or need to be removed.

    For updated versions you'll have to redownload the CC or mods, or contact the maker of the mods as EA doesn't support CC and mods.

    Hi @Hawkz1994

    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.

    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.
