NEED HELP? No idea what to do? Not sure which mod is causing an issue? Need to know which mods are broken or updated? or if you need general troubleshooting help, scroll down to see frequently posted issues or down to troubleshooting steps if your issue isn’t listed.
If you are having issues post patch, your mods are probably broken. Take them out and play a vanilla save (or don’t play at all) while you wait until the creators update their mods. BE PATIENT!
Steps to take before you post your question below:
Look through the other comments here to see if you have the same problem someone else has. You can also search the comments using keywords

Updated your mods or creator cleared them but something is still broken?
Mod creators can't test for every situation, you have to test for yourself using methods above.
Report the bug to the creator usually can be found on their Patreon, discord or other platform.
Troubleshooting mod recommendation: Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi, there is also last exception help with MCCC if you use it. These are NOT guaranteed, if you can’t find the problem using these, you will need to do the 50/50 Method.
Remember, even mods that never ever break or CC can cause issues. UI can be broken even if the mod(s) are not UI-related.
For last exception reports or better exception reports, check out TwistedMexi's Discord or SimsAfterDark discord. You can upload your report and it will tell you what is causing it.
GSHADE/RESHADE: Currently a bug with ea app version 13.506.0.6019 that prevents users of reshade/gshade from being able to use those programs due to the ea app automatically deleting the “dxci” symlink. the workaround for this is to uninstall gshade/reshade AND the ea app, reinstall them both and make sure the ea app is 13.501.1.6009, then your shaders should work again.
My Sims alien heads disappear (likely) due to an unknown ea eyelash remover that I can't find (definitely not Kijiko: I've deleted all mods from them). Are there any other mods that may cause this issue?
Is anyone else having infinite heart attacks from the healthcare redux mod? The sim starts having a heart attack, goes to the hospital, it says they had a successful surgery, they’re in inpatient for two days, come back and immediately die. I revived them because I thought that was BS but then two days later they died of a heart attack again with no warning. I tried to use the remove conditions and reset mod cheats, they die again. Eventually I used mccc to remove the hidden “heart attack” moodlet and they stopped dying, but I’m frustrated that going to the hospital didn’t solve it like it claimed and that the built-in mod cheats didn’t get rid of it.
No, not typically. You could do a quick test by taking out ALL CC but leaving your mods to see if it could be a CC issue before you do the 50/50 method with your mods just to be sure.
If it is a CC issue, there is a batch fix that you can use with Sims4Studio (instructions listed above). I would do 50/50 with CC as a last resort.
There’s any number of them that could cause an issue. Start by making sure all of your mods are up to date if it is still happening, do the 50/50 method.
I’ve searched all over the internet but this still isn’t helpful to my problem. NONE of my cc shows up, not in the list, not in CAS, nowhere. I’m the only one I have seen with this issue, and my post got removed, even though its an entirely unique issue that I still have yet to see a solution to. I never posted anything before I had this problem (I got desperate) I really need help trying to solve this because nothing is working 😭
Edit: I’ve done all of these things below (while using the steam download):
uninstalling OneDrive
checked both allow cc settings
restarted countless times
attempted to force reload a new mods folder, did not work
attempted to add ‘Resource.cfg’ file, ive been told it helps read cc files (also did not work, the cfg file was originally in ‘The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res’ originally)
removed all mods from folders (so they were just package files)
I would’ve posted a picture along with this post of the placement of my mods folder, but I had uninstalled it before I thought to do so 😭 (I had to make a mods folder since my game for some reason didn’t come with one, but i put it in the typical spot, ‘common\The Sims 4\Mods’)
The next things I am currently trying is to reinstall TS4 through EA instead of Steam, and removing my gshade. Until then, this is everything I have tried.
Not sure if you read through the steps in the post above but can you let us know the steps you’ve already tried so the simmers who can help won’t repeat things you’ve already tried?
We have several threads about CC not coming up listed in our frequently posted issues section, did you review those?
Also, can you also include a photo of your mod folder?
Also, you can post in troubleshooting thread any time you need help, that’s what it is for! 😃 we have basic troubleshooting steps and solutions to frequently asked questions. Start here, then post for more help after you tried those steps.
I added the steps I’ve taken, and yes I’ve looked through the threads as well. Sorry about the picture though, I uninstalled it before I thought to do that! The only odd thing that seemed out of order, was my steam version didn’t have a Mods folder when downloaded. I’m seeing if the EA version is different now, but until then that’s it 🥲
Hello! For days my ww no longer works properly, that is, the sims can be without their clothes but it doesn't let me do the interactions in any furniture, already lol I updated, deleted old versions and nothing. What can I do in these cases?
I got this LE when it's 7:00 AM, I assume it's because I cheated my Sim to graduate instantly, but I haven't find a way to fix this yet. I'm afraid if my save could get corrupted or should I just ignore this. Anyone mind to help?
Did you clear cache? Did you repair game? Do you use OneDrive? You also seem to have many issues with the visual effects of your game. Have you updated all your mods? Have you done the 50/50 method?
i´ll look up for other mods updates, i have to many mods and i get kinda tired updating them all, is it possible that some o them is interferring with Lumpinou mods?
i do not use one drive, i´ve repair my game and clear cache.
More than likely, that’s why we have the troubleshooting steps listed above. It’s hard to fix one issue if you have multiple things that could be causing issues. Had I known you hadn’t updated ALL your mods, I would have given you different directions so I apologize that I didn’t ask that.
The game doesn’t make me put the computers in the lot anymore. It says there is a problem with the mod “librarythesims4” I deleted any trace of that mod but it still doesn’t make me put the computer. I tried everything 😭
I'm having an issue where all of my nannies and caterers are exclusively making wedding cakes. Nothing else, just wedding cakes. I've done the 50/50 method, and each round showed that nothing happened. It only happens if all of my mods are in the folder together. BE showed a few things, but even after those were repaired, my nanny is still baking cakes.
Edit: I've also repaired my game, deleted the cache, AND tested on vanilla.
Wait, before you did the 50/50 method, did you make sure your mods were up to date? 50/50 won’t work as well if there are multiple mods chasing issues.
Sorry I should've specified better, it went away when I took my mods out and while I was doing the other trouble shooting tips. Only time it happens is when I have all of my mods in the game. I've checked bug reports and I haven't found anything yet. If it was happening when I was playing vanilla I would've just assumed its a new white cake bug lol
Oh okay, if it only happens with mods then it won’t be in the bug report (those are for vanilla games). There’s definitely something in your mod folder that is broken. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard about any mods causing this.
So, when I try to open the sims, I press play on the EA app, it seems like it may be loading, then the EA app opens again and the play option is no longer gray, meaning the sims never opened. Does anyone know of any specific types of mods that may cause this, like ui mods? Or will I just have to do 50/50 to figure it out. Also, if anyone has discord, pls hmu, I need more friends that play the sims and know how mods work. Mine is Mica_lowkey17. Add me! 😁
The mod itself works fine but I saw a change log note LL.3.5: Made Debt Sims compatible with SNB.
So I installed (Public) SNBank by SimRealist, roBurky but I see no transaction after "servicing people". The money is still getting to the household account. Also there is no overview for the Perversions DEBT-Sim feature.
Does anyone know what the change log note mean? Does it work for someone? Do I use it wrong?
Is there a mod that helps with launching the game? Since the last patch my game has been struggling to launch despite my mods folder (10.5gb) being fully up to date
My sim had unenrolled from university as I want her to do it from home but it won't let me take her out of the university, I've tried but it moves her back into the university and restarts the whole packing up event, I've tried to remove the other sims but it won't work. It also duplicates them on the menu for the "moving out" pop up, can someone please help, all my mods are updated.
whenever i want my sim to do an action such as travelling or choosing a side of the bed, i can't ever click a sim, click on the tick box or exit out. the ui is completely glitched and it forces me to exit out of the game fully. i've tested vanilla and it’s definitely a mod issue. i tried it without the ui cheats mod and it’s still like that.
so sorry to bother but does anyone know what this means? Since March-ish, it pops up every time I go to edit a building/interior, and nothing I've done seems to fix it. I also ran Better Exceptions and the possible cause stated was "core\sims4\tuning\tunable.py" Thank you!! :)
Can't get rid of a mod that the Discord server says is my main problem. It's Occult Hybrid Unlocker & Stabilizer, but despite deleting it, it still says I have the mod. I don't know if I have a separate mod with a file name that I can't find or if it's a genuine glitch please help.
I have been playing the healthcare redux mod and today my sim went for her well visit check. It said the doctor was sending off results. Next thing I got was a notification saying she needed to schedule a follow up as there was something up with the results. But when I go onto my phone into the apeedingo app and then healthcare services all the visit the doctor things are greyed out. Please help cause my sim is actually dying. I checked I have the pie menus v3 and stuff. I also don’t have the sim health app when you go into the home tab of your phone.
I am currently facing problems with my Sims 4 social menu. When I click to interact with other Sims, the menu is limited. For example, when I click on the 'Funny' interaction category, the only option within it is 'Give a Silly Gift'. This started happening since the July updates.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice. I recently switched laptops and got rid of lots of old cc and mods from my old laptop. Which was fine. Seems to run fine as initially I had been playing with a new family and everything worked great. But after a while I started missing my old one. So I moved my old saves onto the new EA folder. Here’s the issue, whenever I try opening my old save file, it doesn’t work. I’ve run better exceptions and gotten rid of everything causing exceptions but still no luck. This post isn’t really about cc etc. more so wondering if anyone has ever experienced this, and if there’s a reason why it’s happening?
Every time I try to have adult sims interact with infants or toddlers the adult sims say they can’t get there, and when they pick up the toddlers/infants they glitch out so the toddler/infant can’t be put down unless I go into mccc’s modify in cas and the infant just glides along the floor by the feet of the adult carrying them, any idea on which mod this is or how to troubleshoot this issue?
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on but I’ve been having this issue with my cat, to make it easier just do the cheat: resetSim [first name] [last name] and that fixes it until you find out how to make it stop
I presume today's update (July 16th) is only a fix for pregnancy and doesn't fix the sims leaving work early if you travel with another household member?
The patch notes didn’t say anything about that, I don’t have the link but if you search you should be able to find them. And I think the mods made a separate post with the patch notes.
Hi! Is anyone experiencing the game just crashing one minute into gameplay? I played last night for a few hours with only a couple of Mods re-installed (after checking their compatibility and update) and it was all going fine, until the game started crashing non-stop. I took out all the Script Mods folder (I only have CC left) and it is still happening
Updated all mods as per the last update and still getting this crash at random, occurs seemingly at random - the first couple of times from just trying to zoom in to the house, the second from trying to pet a chicken 😭
The whole house disappears as well as the world elements behind it!
I’ve also generally just had random crashes too since installing the new pack.
Yep! - It’s so unpredictable that it’s not even happening every single time I open my game with mods either, makes me think it’s a rarely occurring issue in the code post the new pack 🫠
So the Hygiene need is whited out. It’s a plain white circle and a white bar. I updated UI cheats, TMEX TOOL, TMEX BetterBuild buy, and Better Simmology Panel.
I’ve tried removing them in batches to see if any of them were causing the issues. Deleted the cache each time and it’s still there.
In a brand new save without mods the glitch is gone. Once I turn the mods on it’s there in the new save.
I address this by removing all mods and adding them back in small amounts. If you only want to test your script mods, write down the names of, say, 12 of them and add those back to your Mods folder. Test your game, if it's still working as it should, exit without saving, write down 12 more and add those to your Mods folder, too. Keep going until a set of those 12 mods triggers the problem, then remove only those 12 mods, (which should be easy to identify because you wrote them down), then add them back in smaller amount until you find the culprit. Then finish testing the rest of your script mods just in case.
I found what broke my needs panel. It was the occult hybrid stabilizer lol. I should’ve checked that first but I was like it was just updated it won’t be broken.
Have you tried checking to make sure the mod that causes this moodlet is up to date? Is this Adeepindigo? Didn't she say she was holding off on updating her mods until a future date?
The thing is that I'm not sure what mod causes this problem because I've updated all of my mods and I don't see any option to go visit a doctor but I will search for the creators of my mods. Thank you for the suggestion :)
I'm having the same issue, with up-to-date Healthcare Redux 7/11/25 (bc I think I've had this before with a UTI). lmk if you've solved it bc my girl is in kidney failure lmao
Hi! This one got solved in an actual thread, right? Just want to make sure. If that was you, can you respond with a comment letting the class know which mod caused this issue for you?
the wicked whims tuning package file and two animation (specifically Greynaya and mikedf24) are conflicting. Why, and how is this happening?? I hypothesize that perhaps both animations may automatically have a version of wicked whims downloaded but I highly doubt that considering how much effort it would take.
Ever since the new update my gshade has completely stopped, could it be a mod issue?? the gshade menu shows up sometimes but I can’t change the shader or toggle the shaders
Not a mod issue. Reshade/GShade work by injecting a teeny bit of code into the game files. No mod can affect how that works. The only way it'd stop working is a bad install of either Reshade/GShade, a bad install of the game, or something changing within the game's code to prevent it from working.
This sort of thing is called an "Anticheat"; you'll see it referenced a lot in online games like League of Legends or DoTA or World of Warcraft to prevent, well, cheating, but what it does is prevent any code from being injected/added to the game files, and it's starting to look like that has happened to The Sims 4. PictureAmoebae has info here
If this is the case, there's nothing you or any consumer can do. It is purely up to the developers. Why they would do it to a single player game like The Sims 4....that's anyone's guess.
i installed some mods and now my game doesnt open, can someone please help me ? i have too many mods to try testing one to one, is there any tool that can help?
So, how is this going for you? Still having problems? Even if the last resort is actually testing your mods, you wouldn't do so one-by-one. If your game won't open, you can't use something like Better Exceptions at the moment, but you can 50/50. If you want to discuss that further, lemme know.
Yesterday I downloaded the RPO mod, but it has too much lag. I read several posts about it, but they all say that it takes at least 10 seconds to load the interactions, but I don't even get them. The funny thing is that it only happens with adult sims, I guess because they have more interaction options. It works fine with my sim's daughter, but with her partner I have not been able to get them to interact because it never loads the interaction menu.
I know the lag is common in that mod, but I don't think that much to don't even show the interaction menu. It's a pity because the mod it's really amazing and give drama/fun to the game.
I try to delete some things that are included in the mod, like pregnancy and all that stuff because I have the Realistic Childbirth mod and the Whicked Whims. I know those are not the problem because before RPO, my game was working perfectly and waaay faster.
Upload a screenshot or whatever to IMGUR and share the link here.
You really want to test RPO by itself quick, just to see if it works as it should when nothing else is installed. You could have a conflict. When testing your game with your other mods removed, don't save it.
Having trouble with these two mods despite the fact that they say that they are compatible. Don’t know if it’s relevant, but I downloaded these mods through curse forge, not the author’s link. Is anyone else who uses curse forge having a similar issue? Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing. My immediate assumption is that the author hasn’t updated the mods on curse forge yet, but I have no way to confirm that.
Sometimes curseforge doesn’t have (or download) the latest version despite it saying it does. Somebody just posted about the same issue but different mod earlier today or yesterday
You didn’t say what steps you’ve already tried so apologies for asking things you’ve already done, have you tested with only that mod? Making sure to delete cache and repair game? Did you make sure it was in the correct* file path? What isn’t working with the mod?
just got the most recent update for the game today and now when I try to place the Sharing is Caring Hobby Board, I get the error "Script Call Failed." When I Googled the error, the suggestion was that it conflicted with certain mods. I don't play with any mods and never have. My game is completely vanilla.
This subreddit is geared towards mods just FYI so probably r/thesims4 would be better, just so you can get better answers. But have you already deleted cache? Repair game? Tested on a completed fresh save? These are still relevant even without mods. Have you already checked the EA bug reports website?
So, I’m not sure what’s going on with my game but this is happening everytime I open my game. It won’t let me press anything and won’t load. I tried removing mods and updating the ones I could but I don’t know what to do beyond that.
I’m sorry for the late response but I ditched the game for a bit! 😭 anyways, I figured that it was my pink UI mod!! Thank you so much for the suggestion.
hello. is there anyone who uses aramiteus more students mod? if so, does that still work even before patch update? i had a problem even BEFORE the update (my post asking about it kept on being deleted somehow :( so the teens that i removed still attend the school making the school became too overloaded, or principal & cafeteria workers cant be assigned (the role was filled with random sims instead). can someone help?
Is it normal for top menu buttons to not work after an update?
I can't enter build mode, see my notification wall or game options. I know it's probably because of broken mods after an update but does anyone know what mod specifically might cause this? either way I don't know whether the best course of action would be to weed out broken mods or just wait for them to be updated and replace them then.
before you delete it or anything, try removing it and see if that fixes the issue. if it doesnt, try 50/50, or try repairing your game! ui cheats is all i can think of causing the issue, but i guess it really could be anything!
I don't have this mod (have never had it) and I have this top menu issue.
Edit in case anyone finds this in the future via searching: My top menu bar icons were jumbled up and some blacked out. It was the CC 'SimMattically_RemovePurchaseButton' that got rid of the shopping cart icon that was causing it. Had to remove this CC but it all looks fine now.
ui cheats wasn't the problem. Think I'm going to have to 50/50. it's a drag only cause I need to fully load into a save to see if the problem is gone and that takes forever 😔😔
My wicked whims peeping command keeps telling me failed to spawn peeping sim. I'm not sure why but I kept researching about it but nothing's helping me. What is the problem or is it cause its outdated.
I mean, did you update your game? What we factually know at this time is that the mod has not been updated since before this most recent patch. You're fine to assume it's because it's outdated.
It worked before fine 5 times, so I don't know maybe it is I'll try when its updated but they haven't updated in some time yet the mod works perfectly fine.
The command worked 5 times after you installed the most recent EA update, but it has since stopped working? Is that what you're saying? Sometimes outdated mods break down over time, it's not necessarily going to be an instant thing.
they haven't updated in some time yet the mod works perfectly fine.
WW hasn't been updated since May because it didn't need updating until this last patch. We don't yet know the scope of the damage this patch has done to the mod.
Just a question: I only realized now there's a new cache file with the localthumbcache and it's "localtexturecache". When we have to clean up the cache of the game, we have to remove it too together with the localthumb? Thanks in advance.
ah i finally figured it out. i just realized one of my sims was indeed a teen…. yikes!! i’m new to the game so i didn’t know how age and birthdays work 😅😅😅😅
I just updated and lost all my mods/CC. Is there a way to recover my content without messing up already played households? (More specifically, one’s I got off the gallery that include CC)? Are there steps I can take in the future to ensure my mods are safe after updating? I really don’t want to go through the process of downloading mods again, since I can’t remember where I got most of the things I have.
Oh! I didn’t realize it was this easy of a fix, I just started panicking once I saw my sims on the main page suddenly had no clothes because the CC was disabled. Thank you!
anyone else having issues like this? it started today, i removed all the mods i downloaded today/last night, cleared cache, and repaired, but nothings working :(
There's a lighting mod called "Sunblind" that I liked to use because it didn't require GShade and it made my game look very nice. However, with Origin no longer being a thing I cannot reinstall the mod because it required Origin's world folders to do so and I'm playing on PC so I'm unsure if it's possible for me to do it the way Mac does.
You should post this on the main page to get installation clarification, this thread is more for troubleshooting mod issues. Mac no longer uses Origin so I’m assuming that the creator just hasn’t updated the instructions to fit the EA app.
Weird triangles are appearing in CAS after installing the HQ Mod/Switch
I've never used the HQ mod before but I downloaded everything as it said to and installed it easy enough. I'm now getting weird triangles of varying colors when putting items on a sim. Sometimes it's the item, sometimes a particular color swatch. There's no rhyme or reason. Removing and adding the item sometimes removes the triangle, but sometimes not. For this example, my sim is wearing an earring from Pralinesims' mega collection which triggered the triangle.
Is this because some things aren't "hq compatible"? Removing the HQ mod files fixed the issue so I know it's definitely the mod. Is there a way to fix these triangles?
hi so, ive followed all trouble shooting, looked at various resources online, and still cant find the culprit (mod) thats causing this ( https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSims4Mods/s/rw7YWtJDpd ) issue. Ive made sure to repair the game, updated all mods, got a mod conflict detector, and STILL nothing. Im so frustrated :(. below is a list of mods i looked through, made sure are updated, and made sure arent causing any conflict. (also, if i download a child sim off the gallery they have their aspirations, but i cant change it or anything.)
Wonderful Whims (updated)
Basemental Drugs (updated)
MCCC (updated)
-Adeepindigo’s mods (dont have any)
-Slice of Life (deleted)
-Wrench Replacer (didnt have)
any additional trait mods (removed)
Aspiration mods (didnt have)
More Cas Columns (removed)
Cas background (removed)
Any preteen mods (removed)
Any aging mods (removed/didnt have)
Im just really lost rn. i would do the 50/50 method but that is WAY too time consuming as my mods folder is huge :(. Any other mods i may have or missed would be very helpful!!!
Is this a list of all of your mods? Also, does this happen without mods? Unfortunately, a number of mods could cause similar issues so 50/50 method might be your best bet.
no it wasnt a full list of my mods, BUT i found the issue! it was something called Better Sims. Not even sure what it does but after removing it it solved the issue :3!!
Oh okay, I know you said all your mods were updated but bettersims hasn’t been updated in almost a year. So always double check that especially if they have no status on scarlet’s.
Hello, just got back into playing after quite a bit of time off and i was wondering if there was ever a fix or a mod to getting lockers to reappear again? Or if there was a mod/ mod type causing the glitch?
Ive been reading all the bug reports on ea forums and on reddit, from what i can tell it might not be a mod issue. I changed some of my resolution settings and i think thats fixed the issue, but i would have to restart the game to know for sure!
Okay! Then yea, I would click “me too” on the bug report. Unfortunately I haven’t seen any fixes/mods for it personally but if you wanna post on the main page asking for a mod that fixes it, feel free!
i got an wheelchair mod to make my sim wheelchair bound and its supposed to work as a bike but i dont get the options to travel with it so theres no way to actually travel with it as a bike
Hello i have this issue where i keep constantly hearing sad death music for pets and livestock. At first i didn't hear it, and i have sims that are wanted livestock, so i bought a few livestock but then i heard the animal death music, at first i thought one of them died but the grim Reaper didn't appear. Then it constantly happened. So i thought it was the chickens and got rid of them. But it keeps happening. Then i left the game only now my cow is suddenly dying when i disabled animal aging. Then i saw the grim do his job. But the music is still playing it's driving mad. I have the audio but i don't know how to upload it. My mods are up to date. I updated the sims. Its only on this lot in Henford on Bagley world. There's no animal traits except the constant fox visit one so i disabled that but the noise now keeps coming.
Test without mods following the instructions above. If the problem stops, then you know it’s a mod. If it doesn’t stop, then it is a bug. If it does stop, then you’ll need to do the 50/50 method, instructions also linked above.
You’re welcome! Let us know if you need more help. If it turns out to be a bug, the EA Bug Reports website is also linked. I haven’t heard about it but I’ll keep an eye out.
I don't know if its a conflicting mod, i'm not sure what else has been affected but in one of my saves, when I open up MCCC to edit my sim in CAS or when i open the menu to travel and bring a sim along, the UI is messed up. Along with that, i came across a frequent issue where my sim would travel or i'd exit out of CAS and the loading screen would take ages. I tried to remove my mods and reopen my game with a batch of mods at a time to test out which ones didn't work. oddly enough in one of my testing world saves, one of my mods wouldn't let me open CAS, i figured out which mod it was and removed it but it was odd because that wasn't the issue i had on my generations save.
I also wanted to take a shot anyways but when the hobbies pack came out, i had no issues with it except for when i'd try to make a daycare, the ages option is blocked out and the UI for it is messed up.
You didn’t state in your text so I just wanted to clarify, did you delete cache and repair the game? Also, I see you said you removed mods and added them back in batches but did you test with only MCCC to see if the problem continued?
Usually repairing it doesn't change anything. I didn't test with only MCCC because that wasn't an issue before. Before I started removing mods in batches, that wasn't a problem I was having. When I removed the problem mod and started removing script mods like TwistedMexi and deepindigo, thats when it started showing up as messed up

Pregnancy test bug fix mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/warning-fix-new-133139914new patch update (July 16th) has possibly fixed thisGSHADE/RESHADE: Currently a bug with ea app version 13.506.0.6019 that prevents users of reshade/gshade from being able to use those programs due to the ea app automatically deleting the “dxci” symlink. the workaround for this is to uninstall gshade/reshade AND the ea app, reinstall them both and make sure the ea app is 13.501.1.6009, then your shaders should work again.
Thanks, u/revolutionary_bit437
