Cannot start because game data is missing?!

Cherryrose_x

I'm getting sick of Sims now, if I didn't actually love playing it I would have dumped it years ago!! Problem after problem!!

Anyway, since the update I can't open my game! Error message reads:

Unable to start
Cannot start because required game data is missing or damaged. Please try reinstalling the game.

Seriously!? Any ideas? I've deleted the two mods I had, that did nothing... I don't want to uninstall, it took forever to install!!

Hello.
This link refers to the error message

Move your mods folder to the desktop, then start the game and see if that helps the issue. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the mods folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the cause of the problem.

Repairing the game seems to have worked. Now to put the mods back on. The only one I need is the one to stop my sims vanishing!
Thank you rosemow, your so helpful!
