Sims 4 wont open

@brookezee 

So you found out that the folder you thought was used by the game wasn't (you already knew it should be regenerated if it was) Since you put it in the wrong folder it is no surprise that the new CC didn't show up. The latter part you should not have tried as it in no way could help with your issue. Now let us try to repair the damage. First delete the symbolic link you created. Restart the computer. Now follow this instruction to find your user folder. https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

After having done that. Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.

If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

If it still do not work return with what errors you see.
