My Sims 4 Loading Screen is Stuck

[0105beth]

Hello, I have recently had troubles with loading my sims 4 game.

This is my problem-

I can load CAS and make a household with no problem, but when I go to the world and choose for them a house to move into, I am met by an infinitive loading screen. I don't know what has been causing this and I hope to find a solution soon. I have had the game for a while now but this error has not occurred since a few weeks ago. I haven't messed with the settings or anything - I'm not a computer expert so telling me to mess with my folders probably won't help unless I have step by step instructions lmao. I do have custom content though, so I am not sure if that is what has stopped my game actually loading.

Try to remove all your mods and see if the game works better.

For example, move the mods folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to your Desktop and start the game.

If that works but you want to keep your mods, you can try some different things to sort out the ones not working:

• If your problem occurred after a certain mod haul, remove all these new mods (see if the game works), and then add back a few at a time, restarting the game in between until you see the problem occurring again. Remember that you can possible have several broken mods.
• If the problem started after the latest patch/update, always make sure to update your mods when you update your game. Check this list out for some mods that were broken in the C&D-patch! A few others have been broken after but not so many that there is a list.

• Download Sims 4 Studio and do batch-fixes for your cc.
• Search for the Mod Conflict Detector on google and run it, see if it can detect some broken/conflicting mods, remove these and try your game again. (Only detects conflicts between mods, not between mods and the game)
• Like the first "solution", but for all your mods. Remove all and put back some at a time to find broken ones (last resort if you have like 1000 mods).

Good Luck!

Hello! Thank you for replying so quickly. I have come to the conclusion that it is infact my mods that cause this problem. I run the game without any mod files and it loaded the game within a matter of seconds. Just a quick question as I am no Sims 4 Studio expert, how do I do batch-fixes? I know it is under the tools tab but I am unsure where to go from there. Many thanks

I don't have the program on this computer, at my parents place for Christmas/new years, but I think you choose Batch Fix, Object/CAS and then choose whatever batch fix you think is needed, probably the Cats&Dogs ones. But I think you can find more info on the S4S home page
