Sims 4 stuck in the title screen for a long time

[quexoxen]

My sims was perfectly fine until I tried to open my CC (package file). I tried to open in with Adobe haha I know I’m stupid but I was bored so I clicked on that. 

Now the package file changed like this. I guess this is the main problem why my sims stuck in the title screen. 

Please help me to change this. It used to be a blank white paper picture but now there’s adobe acrobat reader there

If you tried to open a .package file with Adobe. It has absolutely no influence on your ability to open the game. CC will work the same - open or not open.

If game stuck on the loading screen it is because after the patch most scripts mods and a large part of CC is not compatible with the game. anymore.
Don't pay attention to the appearance of these CC

Move the mods folder to the desktop.
Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game - important!
Fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if a game is working now without mods and CC.
Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK. Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method. ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
You need to find a culprit and either remove it or replace it with an updated version

Thank you for you answer! I appreciate it.

My .package file was associated with adobe reader. All I need to know was how to unassociated a file type and change it as default.

but I’ve figured out the problem. It works fine now.
