Troubleshooting Guide
⚠️ Before You Start
-
Check the download pages → Make sure you’ve installed all required or updated files. (This fixes most issues.)
-
Follow install instructions → Double-check the How to Install page.
-
Save/Lot won’t load? → Go through the steps in the Save/Lot Won't Load page first.
🔧 Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
1. Make sure it’s not an EA issue
-
Remove all custom content.
-
Clear your cache.
-
Load the game and test.
👉 If the issue still happens, repair your game. If that doesn’t work → it’s an EA bug.
👉 If the issue is gone, keep going.
2. Test only my content
-
Add back only my custom content.
-
Clear your cache.
-
Load and test.
👉 If the issue is gone → something else (conflict or broken mod) is the problem.
👉 If the issue stays → move to step 3.
3. Did you get an LE (Last Exception) report?
LE = “Last Exception” (game error log)
-
Load your save.
-
Use Save As and create a new save.
-
Close game + clear cache.
-
Reload the new save.
👉 If you still get an LE → post it in the 🔎︱report_issues channel on my Discord.
👉 If you didn’t get an LE → move to step 4.
💡 I prefer the report from MCCC (it's more accurate than Better Exceptions), but either will work.
4. Use the 50/50 method to find the broken file
-
Move half your mods to a temp folder.
-
Clear your cache.
-
Test in game.
👉 If the issue is still there → the broken file is in the half you kept.
👉 If it’s gone → the broken file is in the half you removed.
👉 Keep repeating until you find the exact file(s).
Once found → report it in the 🔎︱report_issues channel on my Discord.
