bro this was the only video that helped me out of like 15 that i watched trying to figure out how to do this. i literally had 14k cc and now i’m down to 6k bc it all got unnecessarily deleted since i got mad from not being able to figure out what to do. i could have done this 50/50 the whole time :( tysm 🖤😭
I’m so so glad the video could be of help!! Finding broken mods and CC can be a huge pain so probs to you for taking all the steps!! 👏🏻🩵 Enjoy simming!!
I found your video today after googling "how do I fix my mod folder" Thank you so much for all this information! I plan to get started with the advice you shared. I thought my folder was organized but yours----wow!!! I subscribed and will check out your channel---lol after I get my mod folder fixed! THANKS AGAIN!
@RosannaTxt ☺️after organizing my folder and following your advice... I think it's one of the big mama jama ones😂😬like UI. I Seaparated mods cas and build-up. Tried the 50/50 suggestion /cas and BB are good to go. I will check those websites for updates on mods. THanks again! You're the best!
I really apologize for asking and querying in relation to a Mods folder. Since some creators have large mods maybe one script amongst them some tie in together as well.
One rule of thumb I live by as someone who's modded games for over a decade (and this can apply to any game, not just Sims 4) is ALWAYS turn off auto updates for your modded games in their respective launching app, whether it be the EA App, Steam, Epic, etc. The process for doing so varies from launch app to launch app, but is also quite similar. A quick google search will explain how to do so for each platform. Reason why this is vital is then when there's an update you're not left with a broken unplayable mess of out of date mods. Just keep playing on the game version as is with your mods working until the mods you need to update get updated. Then manually apply the game's update in the launch app and toss in your updated mods and boom, you survived the update / patch with no headache and no downtime! 😎
This is such a good one!!! Only downside is this means you cannot get packs right as they come out, but I guess that is a sacrifice worth making if you play with many mods!
So glad this was helpful!! If you’re ever looking for 1 single piece of broken cc that a sim is wearing in game and it’s broken you can also use the better exceptions mod from TwistedMexi to analyze and find broken cc! This works only when a sims is visually wearing broken cc but it can be a lifesaver at times! I learned about it only after making this video but it has been a great help! ☺️
Thing that is happening with me is that ever since I updated the game for Life and Death, I not only do not see any of my mods in my gameplay (I can see them in the build/buy mode) but I cannot click on any of the sims. Also I still can do the CAS and all my CC are there as well and I can still stylize my sims.
This is because Custom Content (the things you use in building and CAS) usually does not break with updates but bigger mods like script mods do. Your problem definitely sounds like a broken mod and I recommend watching this whole video to teach you how to find and fix them (:
i have a mod organizer and some some reason the last expansion isn’t exactly telling me what’s wrong with my game and i did the 50/50 and i couldn’t pinpoint the problem , im gonna try to fix the problem
Make sure to keep them in 1 folder together! All files from 1 mod should stay together, always. Only put .package files that are CC in sub folders :) If you have a mod like selectable let’s just make 1 folder (not more) within your mods folder, call it “selectable pets” and then add the script and package files and you should be good to go :)
When I do this, my cc doesn’t show in the game. I’ll have for an example mods> cas-complex with all of that creators items. But the question is is there a limit in what you can put in a certain creators folder? I use an iMac newer version.
Hey! For CC, especially on Macs, it's recommended to not put it deeper than 1 folder. I used to have a mac and my organization system was a bit different - it was just mods and then right into that folder I had all my mods and subfolders for my CC. Mac tends to work a bit different than windows from time to time. Next to that, the new update turned off all CC and mods, make sure to turn it back on in your settings & that your folders are no longer zipped. Those two sometimes cause issues as well! Hope this helps 🧡
Hi! i have mccomand center and have a last exception file which i used the reader and it displayed a outdated tunable error which was a file with a name with only numbers which i don't have in my computer. i dont know what to do. please help!
I have to be perfectly honest with you, I actually don't know how to fix this either... I do know that if you have the exception file you can go into the discord server from deaderpool and reach out for support! Hopefully that helps!!
Hey! So I have some mods that work in an old save file but none of the new ones I make. I've taken them off and reinstalled them, but the same issue persists. it's only one kind of mod, my other ones work just fine before and after i started troubleshooting.
That sounds frustrating! Unfortunately I cannot help you with any fix. I have never heard this happen before and it sounds like the mods are actually broken but you’re lucky in a sense that they worked in older saves. Hope you managed to either find an alternative to the mods or find a way to fix it
Any advice or recommendations for CAS CCs? I have a few that I would prefer to remove as I rarely ever use them but I have no clue what the name of the file is now. I've never had a CC in CAS break on me thankfully but it is a worry that someday it will and I'll want to remove it but have no clue what the name of it is. I've heard about sims 4 mod manager... Have you ever used this or would you recommend it? Thanks so much :)
That is annoying! I would suggest following the steps in the video to fix it. Either check the blog with broken mods to see if any you have broke and otherwise try the 50/50 method to find which one broke!
Hey, thanks for a great video ! Your explanations are very clear and I like that you also teach about the different kind of files there are ! Juste one question - in your BB_creatorname files, do you have sub files ? For example, I use a lot of Felixandre CC and being able to know which of their packs I have is really useful. But that makes them being 3 folders deep - is that too much then ? You said 2 folders deep for CC...Thank you in advance for your answer !!
Aaah thank you!! 🧡 I do have sub folders in those folders in some cases too, exactly for the same reason you have it! 3 folders deep still works but 4 usually starts to break things!
Are you perhaps using a CC chair in front of the PC? A lot of CC chairs broke about 1 year ago with an update and not all creators have updated theirs so it might be that the chair is causing the issue not the pc. My suggestion would be to try it with a non cc computer, desk and chair and maybe even in a room with nothing else in it to make sure that works. From there work your way back to see when the issues start. If you can't find it this way I would refer you to the 50/50 method to find the culprit in your mods/cc folder! I hope you find the issue
@@Rosannatxt wow TYSM for responding! I too thought the issue was cc chair and desk. But I also tried traveling to the library to use their base game computer and desk and it wouldn't work there either. I've been trying to locate the issue within my mods folder, but this video has made it 10x easier and cut the time in half. Simmers like you are the best
I have a question about wicked whims. I have the latest update and it shows up when i start my game, however i don't see the interaction button when i click on anything. bed, sofas, chairs, floor etc. I dont have any bugs or errors showing up its just that the interaction option wont show up. The settings option does show up though when i click on a computer. I have tried googling but nobody seems to have the same problem as me 🤔
I think I read something from another creator over on Twitter (ADeepIndigo) that with the latest update their context menues were also messed up. If you have any other mod that changes the context menues (interations) you should either update them or remove them. This can also be aesthetic mods like dark mode by Arnie and things. I believe that was the fix for their mod! I hope that works and you manage to find the fix. Otherwise I would suggest checking if there is a support discord for whicked whims and see if people there are chatting about it!
Hey thanks for another great video! Im playing on mac and for some reason my game started shutting down unexpectedly shortly after opening the game. I have so many mods and cc so didnt know what was breaking it. I organised my folder the same as in your other video and i copied my mods, cc, trays and saves onto my desktop as backup. I deleted origin and the game, reinstalled both and tried with a fresh clean game. This seems to have worked and i can play without it closing down unexpectedly. So i know its one of my mods or cc, my question is, if i put one of my saved files into the folder WITHOUT moving my mods and cc yet (i want to do it bit by bit to see what it is thats broken) how will my game look? I have houses and cc on my sims, if i put back my save file into my game will my sims and houses be there but without and cc? Or should i try and put back the mods and cc bit by bit first? Im confused how i can find the broken mod without losing my sims and progress because surely the saved files will include the broken mod or cc?. Hope that makes sense!! ❤
Hiii!! Please don’t put back your saved and then try to find the broken mod/cc! Once you open a modded/cc save file without the cc or mods in it will break forever and there is no repairing it, not even by putting the mods and CC back in later. Please start your game with mods and CC but without your saves. Make a new save where you. can then do the 50/50 method as explained in this video. Once you have found the broken mod (because it’s most likely a mod and not CC) delete the that mod and then find an updated version. Once the updated version is in your game then you can put back your saves and play with it. If there is no updated version of the mod it depends on the mod if you can play without it. For instance: UI cheats doesn’t have a lasting effect on your savefile, so you could play without it without loosing things in de save. However, MCCC can come with settings like child support, auto bills, romance settings etc. Once you start a save that used that without the mod installed you will loose all of those features. So once you find which mod broke its up to you to decide if you can continue playing with your saves without it or if its vital that you update it first. Also, after you’ve done the 50/50 testing and you’ve updated your mods - please delete the localthumbnailcache.package file again before putting back your save files!
@@Rosannatxt when I commented that the video was still playing, I hadn’t even thought about that one! But yes I have mod for the column’s, 5 personality traits and a background for cas studio. I’ll try to reinstall them and see if the buttons change
@@Rosannatxt after an hour of searching I found the problem, it was the more traits mod 😭 I’ve been playing with broken buttons for MONTHS AND I DIDNT REALIZE IT WOULD BE THE TRAITS MOD
Since you came to this video I'm assuming you're playing with mods and CC. In the video itself I explain multiple steps that you can take to fix your broken mods and CC. Please follow those steps to find what is broken because a lot broke with the infant update and there is a high chance this is causing your issues. If you've cleared your mods/cc or are not playing with any it's most likely routing issues - make sure there is nothing in the way of your sims using the objects needed to sleep/take care of the toddler. If that is also not the case then you should file a bug report at EA.
can someone help me.. so I reinstalled sims 4 today with my cc and all this stuff everyhtings fine! I deleted all my mods because they were obviously pretty old.. and now i cant load into my game :/ it always sends me back to the worlds.. :/
I would like to help you but I just want to make sure I understand! So you have your game with CC but no mods? And the savefile you played on, did it have mods in before? Or is it a brand new save with just CC and no mods? Some steps you could take: ✅If you had mods in that savefile before: then it might be corrupted now because you took out the mods. The only fix for this is update the mods you were using and see if the save works again ✅ If it's a brand new save with just CC it can be that your game still got messed up somewhere and you can repair the game. This sometimes fixes things for magical and unknown reasons haha ✅If you did both and the problem still occurs you can try and take your CC out and see if it works then, if yes, you might have broken CC - then use the 50/50 method from this video to find what is broken ✅ If you've done ALL of the above and it's still not working you can take out all of your save files and see if it works without existing saves, mods and CC and a repaired game. You can then add the saves back one at a time and maybe get rid of the corrupted save so the rest of the game works fine. ✅If the game is repaired, without CC and mods and it still doesn't work I would recommend contacting EA because then it's nothing on your side but a bug on theirs. I really hope this helps!! ❤
@@keysnonicole6219 I’m so sorry it took me forever to figure out which BB you meant 🤭 but you mean the prefix in my mods folders I think! It stands for build-buy!
To find which mods are broken you can follow the steps in this video. In this case I’d start by taking out all mods and cc and seeing if you still have the issue, if yes then find the broken mods/cc. Otherwise it might be a problem in the game and you can try repairing the game. I don’t have a tutorial for that yet but if you look it up there are plenty out there!! Hope you manage to fix it and enjoy playing again soon! ❤️
The error was there when going in to play got in to play with my sims and after a short time got this error mod or cc in same mod folder with mcc is out dated . this will keep happening in others words till I remove it. but last night I took all mods out even mcc. then tried wicked whims and put back my folder that says all cc, got in game did not get error. I do not know with mods conflict with mcc ., maybe little ms sam because it all so has a pregancy part in it . also tryied the mod that lets teen,s have babies. And the mod for child birth , so do you know if it could have been one of them did not put any of them back yet, and i had hoe it up also, and Basemental, drugs. ' yes i do understand what you are saying and you did understand what i was asking. do not mind my mis spelling please
Ah I do know some of the mods you just mentioned (like having babies when teenager etc) are things that are also already part of mccc. So it might be that they are conflicting because of that! If the game works with all other mods and not MCCC (only if that one is alone) then I think you can try playing without it but with all the other mods! ☺️
I have downloaded mods un zip in the mods folder and that all ways works for , me, but what i need to find out what doe modified mean i down loaded mods saying modified like say one said like a date in 2023. dose that mean it is up to date,? but the script mod that with it say 2022. do you know why? and can that be why get error a mod or cc is out dated ? i also get error that said script can not be found. i leave the script mod just in mods folder ,but I see you made a folder for mcc command and put package and script to gather , right,? can you do that with any mod that has both script and package ?I go by the modified and that i belive is up dated, but game keep say that , so i try take mods out testing , I take one mod at time out then test, one time had mcc command was by it self in my mods did not get the error. but as soon as i started add mods back in got the error. i even redownload mods again still happening
Hi! I'll do my best to help you but I have to admit I don't fully understand what you're asking. 1) Yes when a mod has .ts4script and .package files you need to keep those together. They can be 1 folder deep within your mods folder (Mods > [name of subfolder) and should NOT be split up! 2) If your game works with MCCC in there and no errors then that's not the mod that is broken and you should be able to use it 3) Some mods are actually conflicting with MCCC - make sure the mod you're trying to install does not list MCCC as a conflicting mod 4) the game itself does not have an error functionality built in for mods - so the fact that you're getting an error message confuses me a little bit. What does the error say? And what mods are you trying to install? 5) Some mods are simply outdated, even if you download the latest version. Some mods made in 2022 still work in 2023. It's not exact science, the best you can do is make sure you download the latest version and if that is broken then the mod is just broken and you cannot use it I hope this helps, feel free to provide additional information so I can help you more
I'm sorry to hear your game is not working, that is annoying. I would suggest following the steps from the video because in written answer I would not give other advice than I did in the video. I would begin checking the blog post that shows which mods broke to quickly allow you to find and update your broken mods!
That can be for different reasons; 1) origin is offline preventing your game from connecting 2) your gallery is offline (usually due to unstable internet) 3) Your description or title contain words that are not allowed on the gallery 4) The gallery is being stupid and it might work in a couple of hours time Hope this helps!
Hi! Thanks for this video, really helpful! I just discovered the issue with broken cc beds! Do you know if the last update solve this? Or should I remove all the CC Beds? I don't think all creators updated their beds :(
Hey! Glad the video could help! Unfortunately sims updates never fix CC and if bugs happen because of updates we rely on CC creators to update their things. I know many creators updated their beds but all the ones that have not are unfortunately no longer usable until they do :(
@@Rosannatxt Hey Rosanna, thanks for your reply! I tried with the Sims Studio, and they released the batch fix for the cc beds, as it was a known issue. I think I solved it by using it, the issues I had with the cc beds are gone! ^^
That's frustrating! However, I cannot provide you with any more resources than I've already done in the video so please make sure to follow those steps or check out the links in the description as this is your best way to find which mod is broken and causing the issues.
I really hope you read my queries and questions. It has been unfortunate that I have had big questions or large conversation and I end up not receiving an answer or an answer that doesn't make sense to me then and I have no one that can help me.
I did, I also responded to it saying I don't understand what you're asking. I still don't understand what you're asking to be honest. What is it that you want to know? What are your queries? I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to I'm sorry...
@@Rosannatxt I'm sorry. I'll go back to which video I originally asked or queried or trying to clarify how to arrange my mods folder, I thought I was doing the right thing then watching your video I was getting really confused. (How to organize your mods folder) It was very confusing when you looked up and searched google. (mods folder in the sims 4 can they be 2 folders deep) Google just said script mods can only be one folder deep and package files can only be 5 folders deep. If the instructions tell you to install something a specific way. Always install them that way. My confusion is now, no matter what mod you have they can only be one folder deep regardless of a script or not. I thought oh heck some mod creators rely on XML Injector now and only have their mod as a Package So I grouped the creators package in one file and named under their name and mods. You advice was one folder deep, I panicked so my mods folder will look huge. This is not CC I'm ok with that. I did panic because I had to start all over again since I lost everything. So I guess I am trying to no matter what they must be one folder deep, Twisted Mexi BBB does have a data file with his package and script file, Another one is MissyHissy The Hopes & Fears mods she has 33 sub folders in her zip file of course I unzipped the whole file and placed it in my mods. These are only examples with big mods. I hope this makes sense?
@@coralynnbrewer4502 Im still not a 100% sure to what you’re asking because I never said you can install mods 2 folders deep. Within your mods folder you can create 1 folder (aka the 1 folder deep) for a mod. Every mod can have their own folder though. So if I have MC command center they have their own folder and for better build buy I have 1 folder. All within my mods folder, all 1 folder deep not more. CC can indeed be more than 1 folder deep. You should never put the package and script files apart in different folders (not sure if that is what you did but I wanted to mention it anyways). So keep the package and script files from 1 one mod together in the same folder. Also, some mods are indeed big and have multiple package and script files, this makes that the folder for that single mod is big. Do NOT place all package and script files from all the mods randomly in your mods folder then it will be impossible to find what is broken when you need to remove/update mods. But then again, I’m a bit lost to what you’re asking because you just explain how you did your mods installation and you don’t really ask a question. Is there something broken? Because by your story you installed your mods the right way so I don’t see what is going wrong?
@@coralynnbrewer4502 I just checked the other video and all of your comments there are from 2 hours ago so I’m still not sure which original question you’re referring to. Anyhow, I think I understand your confusion based on the script and package files. So CC is always a .package file and mods often consists of both script and package files or only package files. The rule is: mods can be 1 folder deep, CC can be multiple folders deep. If a mod has package files it can still only be 1 folder deep NOT MORE and separating the script and mod files of a mod is also a bad idea. I explained it exactly as I meant in both videos: mods can be 1 folder deep and CC can be multiple. I hope that makes sense. I also saw your question about poses - The pose player is definitely a mod, so can only be 1 folder deep. all pose collections work more like CC and (for me) also work when multiple folders deep but to be safe you could put them in 1 folder deep.
@@Rosannatxt I think she means when it says when you try to launch the sims 4 it won’t let you because of broken cc and it says repair your game or remove your mods/cc
@@kaym8916 Then you would still be able to follow this tutorial; you would need to find which mod is broken and remove it from your game until you find an update. There is no better way to fix that then to find the culprit in your mods folder (or take out all mods and cc and start over if you don’t want to sort it)
That’s annoying for sure! However much I wish to help you I feel like with just this bit of information I cannot do anything meaningful to help you. You can follow the steps in the video one by one to figure out if it’s a broken mod or CC (I do know that a lot of CC beds broke with the highschool update so you might need to update the CC pieces if you’re using a cc bed). Otherwise you could repair your game, that could maybe fix things!
I really just don’t have the strength to organize my mods folder… it’s been too long now.. way too many cc 😂 - I did it!!! It’s so pretty and organized now🥹(read the comment threat to see how I did it 🤣)
I had this for the longest time too, then my laptop crashed and I had to start all over again, that was the moment I decided to clean up from the beginning 😅 But even already splitting CC and mods in your mods folder can make such a big difference!
So I made this comment 2 months ago… I wanted to tell you that I’ve deleted my whole sims off my pc and everything else with it. And now my mods folder is so pretty and categorized I cantttt 😍😍😍!! Hahaha
@@_brianamorgan Yay! That’s exciting! It does take a while the first time around but after that you’ll be so happy every time you download cc or mods and it goes into folder that is clear haha. Enjoy playing!! 🧡
The files have titles? Like you read the name and then you know what file is for which mod. And if you need to update it you remove that file, download the new version and place it in the folder

One rule of thumb I live by as someone who's modded games for over a decade (and this can apply to any game, not just Sims 4) is ALWAYS turn off auto updates for your modded games in their respective launching app, whether it be the EA App, Steam, Epic, etc. The process for doing so varies from launch app to launch app, but is also quite similar. A quick google search will explain how to do so for each platform.
Reason why this is vital is then when there's an update you're not left with a broken unplayable mess of out of date mods. Just keep playing on the game version as is with your mods working until the mods you need to update get updated. Then manually apply the game's update in the launch app and toss in your updated mods and boom, you survived the update / patch with no headache and no downtime! 😎

Hey, thanks for a great video ! Your explanations are very clear and I like that you also teach about the different kind of files there are ! Juste one question - in your BB_creatorname files, do you have sub files ? For example, I use a lot of Felixandre CC and being able to know which of their packs I have is really useful. But that makes them being 3 folders deep - is that too much then ? You said 2 folders deep for CC...Thank you in advance for your answer !!
Aaah thank you!! 🧡 I do have sub folders in those folders in some cases too, exactly for the same reason you have it! 3 folders deep still works but 4 usually starts to break things!
My SIMS won't use the computer and I don't know what's causing it.
Are you perhaps using a CC chair in front of the PC? A lot of CC chairs broke about 1 year ago with an update and not all creators have updated theirs so it might be that the chair is causing the issue not the pc. My suggestion would be to try it with a non cc computer, desk and chair and maybe even in a room with nothing else in it to make sure that works. From there work your way back to see when the issues start. If you can't find it this way I would refer you to the 50/50 method to find the culprit in your mods/cc folder! I hope you find the issue
@@Rosannatxt wow TYSM for responding! I too thought the issue was cc chair and desk. But I also tried traveling to the library to use their base game computer and desk and it wouldn't work there either. I've been trying to locate the issue within my mods folder, but this video has made it 10x easier and cut the time in half. Simmers like you are the best
@@heavenhaynes8716 I really hope you find the issue soon and can continue playing asap!! 🧡

I have a question about wicked whims. I have the latest update and it shows up when i start my game, however i don't see the interaction button when i click on anything. bed, sofas, chairs, floor etc. I dont have any bugs or errors showing up its just that the interaction option wont show up. The settings option does show up though when i click on a computer. I have tried googling but nobody seems to have the same problem as me 🤔
I think I read something from another creator over on Twitter (ADeepIndigo) that with the latest update their context menues were also messed up. If you have any other mod that changes the context menues (interations) you should either update them or remove them. This can also be aesthetic mods like dark mode by Arnie and things. I believe that was the fix for their mod! I hope that works and you manage to find the fix. Otherwise I would suggest checking if there is a support discord for whicked whims and see if people there are chatting about it!
For me I just had to turn on allow script mods
Hey thanks for another great video! Im playing on mac and for some reason my game started shutting down unexpectedly shortly after opening the game. I have so many mods and cc so didnt know what was breaking it. I organised my folder the same as in your other video and i copied my mods, cc, trays and saves onto my desktop as backup. I deleted origin and the game, reinstalled both and tried with a fresh clean game. This seems to have worked and i can play without it closing down unexpectedly. So i know its one of my mods or cc, my question is, if i put one of my saved files into the folder WITHOUT moving my mods and cc yet (i want to do it bit by bit to see what it is thats broken) how will my game look? I have houses and cc on my sims, if i put back my save file into my game will my sims and houses be there but without and cc? Or should i try and put back the mods and cc bit by bit first? Im confused how i can find the broken mod without losing my sims and progress because surely the saved files will include the broken mod or cc?. Hope that makes sense!! ❤
Hiii!!
Please don’t put back your saved and then try to find the broken mod/cc! Once you open a modded/cc save file without the cc or mods in it will break forever and there is no repairing it, not even by putting the mods and CC back in later.
Please start your game with mods and CC but without your saves. Make a new save where you. can then do the 50/50 method as explained in this video. Once you have found the broken mod (because it’s most likely a mod and not CC) delete the that mod and then find an updated version. Once the updated version is in your game then you can put back your saves and play with it. If there is no updated version of the mod it depends on the mod if you can play without it.
For instance: UI cheats doesn’t have a lasting effect on your savefile, so you could play without it without loosing things in de save. However, MCCC can come with settings like child support, auto bills, romance settings etc. Once you start a save that used that without the mod installed you will loose all of those features. So once you find which mod broke its up to you to decide if you can continue playing with your saves without it or if its vital that you update it first.
Also, after you’ve done the 50/50 testing and you’ve updated your mods - please delete the localthumbnailcache.package file again before putting back your save files!
@@Rosannatxt thank you so much for your help! Im going to test it all out with a new game 💖
I only have CAS CC downloaded, no playing mods at all but I’ve been having glitching green and red buttons all over 😢
When you say only cas CC, are you using any CAS mods like the multiple cas columns or is it just hair and clothes?
@@Rosannatxt when I commented that the video was still playing, I hadn’t even thought about that one! But yes I have mod for the column’s, 5 personality traits and a background for cas studio. I’ll try to reinstall them and see if the buttons change
@@Rosannatxt after an hour of searching I found the problem, it was the more traits mod 😭 I’ve been playing with broken buttons for MONTHS AND I DIDNT REALIZE IT WOULD BE THE TRAITS MOD
@@manonncx That makes so much sense, that one tents to break often indeed. Glad you managed to find it though!!! 🧡🧡
Can you help me my sims she isn’t sleeping and she doesn’t take care of her toddler and idk what to do?
Since you came to this video I'm assuming you're playing with mods and CC. In the video itself I explain multiple steps that you can take to fix your broken mods and CC. Please follow those steps to find what is broken because a lot broke with the infant update and there is a high chance this is causing your issues. If you've cleared your mods/cc or are not playing with any it's most likely routing issues - make sure there is nothing in the way of your sims using the objects needed to sleep/take care of the toddler. If that is also not the case then you should file a bug report at EA.
can someone help me.. so I reinstalled sims 4 today with my cc and all this stuff everyhtings fine! I deleted all my mods because they were obviously pretty old.. and now i cant load into my game :/ it always sends me back to the worlds.. :/
I would like to help you but I just want to make sure I understand! So you have your game with CC but no mods?
And the savefile you played on, did it have mods in before? Or is it a brand new save with just CC and no mods?
Some steps you could take:
✅If you had mods in that savefile before: then it might be corrupted now because you took out the mods. The only fix for this is update the mods you were using and see if the save works again
✅ If it's a brand new save with just CC it can be that your game still got messed up somewhere and you can repair the game. This sometimes fixes things for magical and unknown reasons haha
✅If you did both and the problem still occurs you can try and take your CC out and see if it works then, if yes, you might have broken CC - then use the 50/50 method from this video to find what is broken
✅ If you've done ALL of the above and it's still not working you can take out all of your save files and see if it works without existing saves, mods and CC and a repaired game. You can then add the saves back one at a time and maybe get rid of the corrupted save so the rest of the game works fine.
✅If the game is repaired, without CC and mods and it still doesn't work I would recommend contacting EA because then it's nothing on your side but a bug on theirs.
I really hope this helps!! ❤
@@Rosannatxt sorry I just saw ur answer! It finally works now! Thank you so so much ❤️❤️
What is bb?
What do you mean with bb? ☺️
@@Rosannatxt I was asking what (bb) was
@@keysnonicole6219 I’m so sorry it took me forever to figure out which BB you meant 🤭 but you mean the prefix in my mods folders I think! It stands for build-buy!
anytime my sim has a baby lots invisible or if I travel then the lot won't load error 104
To find which mods are broken you can follow the steps in this video. In this case I’d start by taking out all mods and cc and seeing if you still have the issue, if yes then find the broken mods/cc. Otherwise it might be a problem in the game and you can try repairing the game. I don’t have a tutorial for that yet but if you look it up there are plenty out there!! Hope you manage to fix it and enjoy playing again soon! ❤️
The error was there when going in to play got in to play with my sims and after a short time got this error mod or cc in same mod folder with mcc is out dated . this will keep happening in others words till I remove it. but last night I took all mods out even mcc. then tried wicked whims and put back my folder that says all cc, got in game did not get error. I do not know with mods conflict with mcc ., maybe little ms sam because it all so has a pregancy part in it . also tryied the mod that lets teen,s have babies. And the mod for child birth , so do you know if it could have been one of them did not put any of them back yet, and i had hoe it up also, and Basemental, drugs. ' yes i do understand what you are saying and you did understand what i was asking. do not mind my mis spelling please
Ah I do know some of the mods you just mentioned (like having babies when teenager etc) are things that are also already part of mccc. So it might be that they are conflicting because of that! If the game works with all other mods and not MCCC (only if that one is alone) then I think you can try playing without it but with all the other mods! ☺️
I have downloaded mods un zip in the mods folder and that all ways works for , me, but what i need to find out what doe modified mean i down loaded mods saying modified like say one said like a date in 2023. dose that mean it is up to date,? but the script mod that with it say 2022. do you know why? and can that be why get error a mod or cc is out dated ? i also get error that said script can not be found. i leave the script mod just in mods folder ,but I see you made a folder for mcc command and put package and script to gather , right,? can you do that with any mod that has both script and package ?I go by the modified and that i belive is up dated, but game keep say that , so i try take mods out testing , I take one mod at time out then test, one time had mcc command was by it self in my mods did not get the error. but as soon as i started add mods back in got the error. i even redownload mods again still happening
Hi! I'll do my best to help you but I have to admit I don't fully understand what you're asking.
1) Yes when a mod has .ts4script and .package files you need to keep those together. They can be 1 folder deep within your mods folder (Mods > [name of subfolder) and should NOT be split up!
2) If your game works with MCCC in there and no errors then that's not the mod that is broken and you should be able to use it
3) Some mods are actually conflicting with MCCC - make sure the mod you're trying to install does not list MCCC as a conflicting mod
4) the game itself does not have an error functionality built in for mods - so the fact that you're getting an error message confuses me a little bit. What does the error say? And what mods are you trying to install?
5) Some mods are simply outdated, even if you download the latest version. Some mods made in 2022 still work in 2023. It's not exact science, the best you can do is make sure you download the latest version and if that is broken then the mod is just broken and you cannot use it
I hope this helps, feel free to provide additional information so I can help you more
I updated sims and everything was like really weird I cant figure out wich mod it is. What do I do?
I'm sorry to hear your game is not working, that is annoying. I would suggest following the steps from the video because in written answer I would not give other advice than I did in the video. I would begin checking the blog post that shows which mods broke to quickly allow you to find and update your broken mods!
I need help bc my lot won't save to the gallery
That can be for different reasons;
1) origin is offline preventing your game from connecting
2) your gallery is offline (usually due to unstable internet)
3) Your description or title contain words that are not allowed on the gallery
4) The gallery is being stupid and it might work in a couple of hours time
Hope this helps!
@@Rosannatxt ty!
Hi! Thanks for this video, really helpful! I just discovered the issue with broken cc beds! Do you know if the last update solve this? Or should I remove all the CC Beds? I don't think all creators updated their beds :(
Hey! Glad the video could help! Unfortunately sims updates never fix CC and if bugs happen because of updates we rely on CC creators to update their things. I know many creators updated their beds but all the ones that have not are unfortunately no longer usable until they do :(
@@Rosannatxt Hey Rosanna, thanks for your reply! I tried with the Sims Studio, and they released the batch fix for the cc beds, as it was a known issue. I think I solved it by using it, the issues I had with the cc beds are gone! ^^
One of my script mods work allow me to use doors and Idek which ones
That's frustrating! However, I cannot provide you with any more resources than I've already done in the video so please make sure to follow those steps or check out the links in the description as this is your best way to find which mod is broken and causing the issues.
I really hope you read my queries and questions. It has been unfortunate that I have had big questions or large conversation and I end up not receiving an answer or an answer that doesn't make sense to me then and I have no one that can help me.
I did, I also responded to it saying I don't understand what you're asking. I still don't understand what you're asking to be honest. What is it that you want to know? What are your queries? I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to I'm sorry...
@@Rosannatxt I'm sorry.
I'll go back to which video I originally asked or queried or trying to clarify how to arrange my mods folder, I thought I was doing the right thing then watching your video I was getting really confused. (How to organize your mods folder)
It was very confusing when you looked up and searched google. (mods folder in the sims 4 can they be 2 folders deep)
Google just said script mods can only be one folder deep and package files can only be 5 folders deep. If the instructions tell you to install something a specific way. Always install them that way.
My confusion is now, no matter what mod you have they can only be one folder deep regardless of a script or not. I thought oh heck some mod creators rely on XML Injector now and only have their mod as a Package So I grouped the creators package in one file and named under their name and mods.
You advice was one folder deep, I panicked so my mods folder will look huge. This is not CC I'm ok with that.
I did panic because I had to start all over again since I lost everything. So I guess I am trying to no matter what they must be one folder deep, Twisted Mexi BBB does have a data file with his package and script file, Another one is MissyHissy The Hopes & Fears mods she has 33 sub folders in her zip file of course I unzipped the whole file and placed it in my mods. These are only examples with big mods.
I hope this makes sense?
@@coralynnbrewer4502 Im still not a 100% sure to what you’re asking because I never said you can install mods 2 folders deep. Within your mods folder you can create 1 folder (aka the 1 folder deep) for a mod. Every mod can have their own folder though. So if I have MC command center they have their own folder and for better build buy I have 1 folder. All within my mods folder, all 1 folder deep not more. CC can indeed be more than 1 folder deep.
You should never put the package and script files apart in different folders (not sure if that is what you did but I wanted to mention it anyways). So keep the package and script files from 1 one mod together in the same folder. Also, some mods are indeed big and have multiple package and script files, this makes that the folder for that single mod is big. Do NOT place all package and script files from all the mods randomly in your mods folder then it will be impossible to find what is broken when you need to remove/update mods.
But then again, I’m a bit lost to what you’re asking because you just explain how you did your mods installation and you don’t really ask a question. Is there something broken? Because by your story you installed your mods the right way so I don’t see what is going wrong?
@@coralynnbrewer4502 I just checked the other video and all of your comments there are from 2 hours ago so I’m still not sure which original question you’re referring to. Anyhow, I think I understand your confusion based on the script and package files.
So CC is always a .package file and mods often consists of both script and package files or only package files. The rule is: mods can be 1 folder deep, CC can be multiple folders deep. If a mod has package files it can still only be 1 folder deep NOT MORE and separating the script and mod files of a mod is also a bad idea. I explained it exactly as I meant in both videos: mods can be 1 folder deep and CC can be multiple. I hope that makes sense.
I also saw your question about poses - The pose player is definitely a mod, so can only be 1 folder deep. all pose collections work more like CC and (for me) also work when multiple folders deep but to be safe you could put them in 1 folder deep.
hi can you please do a tutorial on how to fix unable to start because of below the file mod
Hey! I’m sorry but I don’t think I quite understand your question. Is that an error you’re getting? And when does that happen? I’d gladly help!
@@Rosannatxt I think she means when it says when you try to launch the sims 4 it won’t let you because of broken cc and it says repair your game or remove your mods/cc
@@kaym8916 Then you would still be able to follow this tutorial; you would need to find which mod is broken and remove it from your game until you find an update. There is no better way to fix that then to find the culprit in your mods folder (or take out all mods and cc and start over if you don’t want to sort it)
My sims won’t sleep
That’s annoying for sure! However much I wish to help you I feel like with just this bit of information I cannot do anything meaningful to help you. You can follow the steps in the video one by one to figure out if it’s a broken mod or CC (I do know that a lot of CC beds broke with the highschool update so you might need to update the CC pieces if you’re using a cc bed). Otherwise you could repair your game, that could maybe fix things!

I really just don’t have the strength to organize my mods folder… it’s been too long now.. way too many cc 😂

I had this for the longest time too, then my laptop crashed and I had to start all over again, that was the moment I decided to clean up from the beginning 😅 But even already splitting CC and mods in your mods folder can make such a big difference!

How do you know which mod needs updating though? they all look the same
The files have titles? Like you read the name and then you know what file is for which mod. And if you need to update it you remove that file, download the new version and place it in the folder
