Game starting but showing black screen
Hi guys! I've seen many people with the same problem, but I am not sure why I can't fix my game. I have used multiple mod conflict detectors to try to find any culprit files. When I remove the mod folder, the game runs. I've tried renaming the mod file and removing the localthumb file, manually removing files I think might be problematic, and it still results in this loading screen. :( Please help!
Buggy mirrors in sims 4 on Mac!!
Heyyy, I just wanted to play some sims and build some townhouses :) but every time I place mirrors all is getting laggy, even in build mode and also in play mode... Have anyone else experienced this? If so what do I do? Can it get fixed? Thanks for reading <3 hope someone can help :)Game Seemingly Incompatible with Mod the Sims Content?
I know the title is a little strange, but I'm honestly not sure how else to describe the issue. Whenever I put my mods folder in the Sims 3 folder, I get a black screen on launch that never progresses into the main menu and can only be closed with the task manager. My mods are organized by where they were downloaded from, so I was able to discern that something from Mod the Sims is the problem, since the game opens just fine with all the other mods whenever the mod the sims folder is removed. However, no matter how many mods I weed out, nothing seems to work except removing the content entirely. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue where you had trouble downloading from a specific website? I've used mod the sims in the past, so I'm not sure why this has become an issue this time around. It's very frustrating, and I'm wondering if there's something obvious that I'm missing? Also, it might be helpful to know that I've installed all the Sims 3 Store content, and I've also made extensive use of the mods / cc dashboard tool. I have no corrupt files, and I've tried to eliminate all conflicts, but that doesn't seem to help. Any advice would be appreciated!
Currupt file
Hello, my Sims 4 game will not open due to a corrupt custom content file that I deleted. I tried to repair the game, do a one-by-one in a new folder. The file I need is nowhere to be found, and I really do not want to lose my game. It's a file starting in " ._ ". I got redirected here, so I hope someone can please help me after trying all the troubleshooting steps I was sent.I cleaned out my mods folder, my cc are not working. my mods are not working.
I deleted the game and reinstalled it, did everything. I removed mods and cleaned out the folder that I can reinstall the new update mods. my cc is not working because I removed everything and it is not working. Nothing is working. I really get tired of this. Every time I have fix the game over and over again.
Why does my CC keep generating copies of itself?
Anyone else have this problem? My CC keeps generating copies of itself. I've got 2-6 copies of everything (and I have a ton of CC, so that's a lot of extra space in my game and on my harddrive). I've never had this issue before. Anyone know what the problem is?
