Failed to launch error/Fully Black Screen when using CC

ApexSectMaster​ Could you please share a folder if possible with EA? And when you do, please add the info that you're finding failure at a certain quantity, along with computer specs, especially memory, storage, and that sort of thing. If you have any info demonstrating memory usage, that would also be very helpful. This is terrific info and very much the kind of thing needed.

Also, when you're putting mods back in your folder, are you putting the folders of mods back, or are you creating new folders?

Many thanks! Please do go ahead and @ me in any replies here.

syddie101​ When you got the game working but that didn't stick, what had you done? (Please do @ me in your reply!)

Here's something that seems to be working for people. I don't know yet if it works long-term or for everyone: 

• rename the user folder (the one Mods is in); I usually also drag it to my desktop to keep things less confusable
• start the game and exit, to make a new user folder
• copy mod/CC files to the new folder, but not folders -- instead, manually make new folders in Mods

honeyza​ As of last night, they did still need folders! Please do go ahead.

Demonkiss663​ Please try this. It might not "stick" (I don't know yet), but it seems to help:

• rename the user folder (the one Mods is in); I usually also drag it to my desktop to keep things less confusable
• start the game and exit, to make a new user folder
• copy mod/CC files to the new folder, but not folders -- instead, manually make new folders in Mods

DreamSupreme1001​ Try this, please. I don't know yet if it works for everyone or long term, but it seems to work for most people so far: 

• rename the user folder (the one Mods is in); I usually also drag it to my desktop to keep things less confusable
• start the game and exit, to make a new user folder
• copy mod/CC files to the new folder, but not folders -- instead, manually make new folders in Mods

maulmonsteristas​ Testing has shown that it's not the files themselves that are broken. It seems to be something that has attached itself to folders. Instead of testing mods, try this:

• rename the user folder (the one Mods is in); I usually also drag it to my desktop to keep things less confusable
• start the game and exit, to make a new user folder
• copy mod/CC files to the new folder, but not folders -- instead, manually make new folders in Mods

Hawalii​ When you put files back in the new mods folder, were you moving folders over, or did you manually make new folders and copy only files? 

MidniteHearts​ This issue wasn't the one addressed in the hotfix patch (though the hotfix patch may have caused it). Thank you so much for helping with finding a solution!

After you do your folder supplying, you could try this, which has helped some players:

1. Rename your user folder and have the game make a new one
2. Copy mod/CC files back, but not the folders --- make new folders manually in the new Mods folder.
