Cats and Dogs Glitching After Removing Mods

★★★ Novice

I’m sorry if this is a repetitive issue, but I’ve singled out that the problem is only with cats and dogs, NOT my cc!


For weeks, I’ve had rainbow question marks all over any item from the Cats and Dogs pack (this is the only pack I have). This means that all of the new furniture, hairstyles, ground textures, and even animals would cause weird textures and discoloration. Some dogs turned into black silhouettes while others have a flicker camo-print pattern. At first, I thought it was tied to cc that I downloaded. I already tried reinstalling the game, emptying my mods folder, and disabling mods/cc in settings, but even with just the base game+cats and dogs there are still issues with the cats and dogs special items. Any build mode object or CAS feature from the base game worked perfectly, it’s ONLY the cats and dogs things that are impacted. How can I fix the game? The repair button doesn’t make any difference and my game and Mac software are up to date (MacOS Catalina).

 

PLEASE HELP!!! Standard smile

Can you please move your whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop and start up a brand new clean vanilla game, free of all mods and saves. Play for a bit and see if it still happens. Save, quit, then relaunch and load the new save and check again if it still happens.

@Bluebellflora Before I do this, I want to know if it would delete my entire original game? Or can it be brought back because the folder is now on my desktop?

@livrichh

Your saves etc. are all in the folder you move. They aren' going anywhere unless you trash the Sims 4 folder. This is forcing the game to create a brand new folder to see if the issue is in your user data or the game install.

Ok, I moved it to the desktop and also to an external hard drive. But I just started a new game, and even while making my first sim, I can see the problems (look at the picture):

Ps- the pants that the guy is wearing are causing the glitch, and the pants are from Cats and Dogs.

Thanks. So it seems you have this issue - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Empty-CAS-Question-Marks-Invisible-Sims-...

Crin's opening post details fixes to try. You should probably uninstall and reinstall again and then try a completely new, clean game, don't put your Sims 4 folder back until you have launched a new game and checked CAS.

@Bluebellflora YES! Thank you. It worked, but how do I bring back my old game? Do I just drag my old sims 4 folder back into the Electronic Arts folder, or do I go into saves and put all of them into the new game’s folder?
