I'm on a macbook air, running OS X El Capitan.
I can't start the sims. It keeps coming up with a message saying I can't open because there is a missing file blah blah.
I downloaded cc earlier today and some before that but the problem only just started.
I know the problem is probably the custom content, but how am I supposed to know which one it is when I have three hundred and forty three.
Is there a program that measures the level of bugginess or something? That could be great.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ok, I figured out how to fix it without going one by one. I split all of my mods folder files except rescource.cfg into 10 folders.
I tested them by trying to open The Sims 4. The problem one was part j, which I split into 4 folders because it had 37 files in it.
I tested those 4 folders, and the problem was the third one.
I kept testing all the folders then splitting it into less and less folders until two files left.
I tested them on their own, and the problem file was one of the many hairstyles I downloaded.
It was a recolour of a base game hairstyle.
This only took me about 10 minutes once I had all the folders sorted.
Thank you so much for the help!

Hi @xkaseysimmerx,
You have to try one by one, there's not a program to find the CC with the issue. Sorry for not having better news

But how do I check one by one?
