so I can't open a household but my others seem to be working fine. I have tried repairing the game, deleting and reinstalling Origin, deleted localthumbcache.package, deleted lastexception.txt and lastcrash.txt, emptied the cache folder, etc ! I can't do that thing where you move the Sims 4 folder to the desktop because I already have a Sims 4 folder on my desktop and when it gives me the option to replace it I'm not sure if I should ?? like what happens if you do that ?? please help, my Sim won the LOTTERY so I don't wanna lose this household (((((((((((( also this household is not saved to my library (I have learned my lesson </3) so I can't do a factory reset.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@aidadia96 If you want you can just rename your Sims folder before moving it to your desktop (Call it. Something like “The Sims 4_OLD”). This way it won’t overwrite the previous one you have there.
This way when you leave Origin and restart sims the game should create a fresh The Sims 4 folder and once you go into the game and confirm that it is performing correctly you can begin to re-add your tray folder, latest save game and mods/cc one at a time testing after each addition to see which item is breaking the function you want.
