community library and devious desires not compatible

[kylelayton1990]

for some reason my latest sims 4 community library and devious desires' mods no longer work. when both ACTIVE i cant load any families. i click on a family and im brought back to world select. does anyone have an idea whats causing this?

Just tested with S4CL and DD both at their latest versions. Loading took a bit longer (probably because I had deleted "localthumbcache.package" after the last mod updates), but other than that everything's fine.

Try starting the game with only WW, S4CL and DD in your Mods folder (remember to delete "localthumbcache.package" after making changes to Mods) and also make sure that the game itself is up to date as well.

i just did what you said. i deleted every mod (made a copy in separate folder) and only left in S4CL and DD. those 2 work together. so then i threw in WW and that is what threw off the 2 mods. when i loaded my family i was thrown back into world select. im reinstalling the game right now.

Well. DD requires WW for at least some of its features. If adding WW into Mods causes issues, your version of the mod might be outdated or the files might be broken - downloading WW again should take care of this.

You might also want to check for game updates, just to be on the safe side.

the mod isnt outdated its the latest one released early this wekk. same with all 3. every mod is up to date. the game is up to date.

i repaired the game after uninstalling it and the game is still sending me back to world select. there can be no other options S4CL or WW has to be removed.

There must be another option or something we're missng here - because it all works in my game (version 1.67, latest WW and S4CL, and DD's most recent version from 13 hours ago).

 

To make sure that it is not just a broken file, I suggest downloading all three mods again and completely replacing all files you have (delete the old ones, then copy and paste in the new ones). Also remember to delete "localthumbcache.package".

 

If it still doesn't work, disable mods in the game settings and close your game. You'll now be running vanilla TS4 more or less, so copy your game saves to some other place (like Desktop) before starting the game. Once in-game, load any household, play for a few minutes (ignore notifications about missing stuff) and then save the game (not "save and exit"). That new save should now be cleared of any mod-related data, so exit the game and start over with a fresh install of WW, S4CL and DD (everything will be back to default, but hopefully it will work again).

The saves you backed up earlier will still contain info about your old WW and DD settings, so you can use them for reference - but whatever you do, DO NOT PUT STUFF FROM YOUR OLD SAVES INTO THE NEW ONES!
