I have updated my game, the hot fix of March 18th, and my game still doesn't launch with cc installed. I still get the message "Failed to launch game" when cc is installed.
Ideas
- in the EA app, top left side go to app recovery, clear cache.
- in your sims 4 folder, delete the localthumbcachefile.
- I had folders made and named for my cc files, place them back in the mods folder one at a time.
- once in the mods folder, change the folder name to something different, example: 'skin tones' to 'skins'
- launch game. if the game loads in, exit out you don't have to save, and do the steps over again for each folder you want to put back in.
- After three days of trying absolutely everything, this is the only way I was able to have my cc that I enjoy in the game to work. It is a long process but for me it's worth it because this game just isn't the same without cc and mod. sorry not sorry. and I refuse to play without custom skin overlays and 3d eyelashes lol. I have far more folders to go but I and now working on my build buy cc and so far, got Syb cc to work thank goodness because I use their cc in all my builds. I hope this helps someone, I feel everyone's frustration and it sucks. If this does help anyone, please pass it on so others who are struggling can maybe try it too. hopefully their a fix to the fail to launch error we all are experiencing
Just to clarify, do every step again or just rename every folder you want back in the game? I tried this and its the only thing that has worked for me so thank you!
