To troubleshoot Sims 4 mods, start by ensuring your game and all mods are updated. If issues persist, follow these steps: First, remove all mods from your Mods folder and place them elsewhere. Next, add them back in small batches, testing the game each time. This methodically identifies any mod causing problems. For further assistance, use the 50/50 method: Divide your mods into two groups, test one group, and if the problem arises, you know the issue lies within that batch. Continue halving the problematic group until you find the culprit. Always remember to backup your mods before starting this process.
