Sims 4 won't open with any mod
Sul sul, so my game won't open with any mod, it doesn't matter if that's a small file with some hair or script mod like MCCC. I made sure I'm trying updated mods, but it still won't work. This is t...

@Eshja Please test with a new Mods folder, as in, let the game spawn one fresh. Download a new copy of one mod that you know is updated and see whether it works.
@puzzlezaddict I did that and it didn't work.
Deleted the folder, launched the game, created a sim, played for a sec, saved and tried any mod again (updated one) and the same error appeared. :c

@Eshja Do you have OneDrive enabled and set to automatically sync the contents of Documents? If so, please either disable auto syncing or disable OneDrive entirely.
If that doesn't help, try playing while your computer is completely offline. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before launching the game.
If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@puzzlezaddict I uninstalled onedrive before installing the sims so there shouldn't be a problem there.
I tried running it in offline mode with wifi disabled, didn't help either.
So I'm attaching my dxdiag file.
(Thank you for your time btw 🙂 )
@Eshja Do you happen to have Windows set to compress Documents, or the Electronic Arts folder or the Sims 4 folder inside, to save space? You can right-click on any folder and select Properties, then under General, click Advanced and look for an entry that says "Compress contents to save disk space." If this is enabled, it could prevent the game from reading certain files correctly. Please check your C drive as well; the option should just be under Properties > General.
Additionally, your dxdiag lists a number of Windows update errors. So it's a good idea to run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files, then manually run any updates.
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
- Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the button to check for updates.
