The game doesn't start

[heartlesswitch]

Like, it starts, but never loads, and closes itself before doing so, it has to be something with the cc, but how do I know which part of it is causing the trouble?

Hi @heartlesswitch 

CC and Mods are known to cause this issue, it's up to the cc maker to keep them updated for any Sims Update and new Packs. So when we use them, it also requires a fair bit of maintenance to keep your game running well.

Tips to find the culprit cc corrupting the game >> 

Spoiler

I use 1000's of cc & mods, but keep them updated regularly, and set them up in different folders to sort when an issue arises such as Sims Game Update or adding a pack. (note, my game loads fairly quickly)

• Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the  50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it

• Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack

• SimsVIP also do a regular post for people who use cc; on which ones are broken or now updated; All on the one page too, and the best list.

• Also the EA Forums do a regular post for the broken cc.

• I use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac

• Dimitry's Mod Conflict Detector at mod the sims is good too, but not 'better than' culling your cc 50/50 (but only for Windows not Mac) as you may have accidentally downloaded some Sims 3 / 2 items is not always going to be an obvious thing.. It will detect duplicates and 'wrong game' cc.. and sorts it via highlighting in bright colors.
  

I also made a post recently on >> finding broken cc here << which may have a few more points.

Hope this helps,

Sasha
