Hello all. My game was working fine before Halloween. The last time I've played was October 26th, and everything ran just fine. I downloaded CC and put them in. I didn't test them until the other day when I went to go play. Everything loads as it should, but when I get to the loading screen (Sims 4 intro), it plays the music and stays there. When the music stops, my game doesn't respond. I have to shut it down every time. I've tried everything I can think of: I've repaired the game, did the 50/50 method, created a new mods folder, reset the game folders, disabled Origin in game, and I even took out the CC I've added after the 26th. Nothing I've tried has worked. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the game. I really don't want to have to do that, especially if it doesn't work. I've also updated the mods I do have, and that didn't fix the issue. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files

Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem. Put one item or batch in , test the game , take it out. Then test another one, to find the cause of the issue.

If you have any CC by Chisami that could be causing the problem.
There may be either individual broken mods or mods that are conflicting with each other. I hope that your testing after your work tonight helps to work out the cause of your issues.

@Bananas_45 I had no idea that a specific mod could be the problem. Thanks for pointing that out! I have two CC's from Chisami: Kalewa_Chisami-Wisteria_SkinblendCT.package and Chisami-Donut_Pool_Float.package. Which one do you think it could be?
Update: I have taken out both CC by Chisami and my game is still doing the same thing. So is it possible it could be another one?

@rosemow I've been doing 50/50 and smaller batches as well. I've gotten to a point where the game was working during the first half of the batch, but now its not working, no matter how many I take out. I can't pinpoint which one is causing the issue.

Do you use the English version of the game and origin? There was another simmer who had a similar issue, and they found that it was related to the language version that they were using.

About a month ago another simmer reported that she tried all of Chisami's CC and they were preventing the game from starting. I tested a few and had the same problem.
Hello @kanes
Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files

Then start the game and see if the issues are still there. If it has helped with the issues, put your mods/ CC back into the newly generated mods folder that is in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the causes of the problem.
If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

I have experienced this bug also, but it was usually a result of broken or too much (!) CC.
It is good that you have found the cause of your issue @kanes

If you are going to do that you also need to remove your tray, mods, and screenshots folders. The tray folder has all the data on your households and lots.
@kanes I had some sims 3 files in with my sims 4 mods folder as well. I removed all of the files and my game still wouldn't work. But I'm glad yours worked though
@Bananas_45 @Elenadewy When I reinstall the game, I always move mods, tray, screenshots, and saves folders. I have downloaded Mod Conflict Detector to see if it would detect any broken mods, but it didn't. It used to show me all the mods that were conflicting with each other and broken CC when I used it in the past, but this last time I used it, it didn't show me anything. It shows a CC that couldn't load and I don't even have that specific CC anymore, but it doesn't show me anything else.

@rosemow How would I go about updating CC? I have already updated the few mods that I have, but CC would be a bit difficult since I have over 4K. I would have to find each piece individually and some of them I don't even remember where I got them from, to be honest. I am currently reinstalling my game to see if that helps. It's going to take a while though. If you have an easier way for me to update all of my CC, please let me know
You could try just putting in your cc that you use a lot into the mods folder , and see if the issues remain. If the issues remain, then you could go back to the website of those cc that you know that you downloaded the cc from and see if other simmers have had issues or if an updated version has been released.
