sims 4 whicked whims error says I have duplicate files of it, but my file explorer does not find a single ww file.

Don't know if merged packages of CC are still a thing (used to come with custom Sims sometimes, containing all the CC used in creating them) but including the WW package file in the merge was a common mistake back when I downloaded custom Sims to populate my game. If you have any, try removing them from your Mods folder and remember to delete "localthumbcache.package" (found in "Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4").

Other than that, I can't think of where a duplicate WW file might hide, so the only other option that comes to mind is to 50/50 through your entire Mods folder to identify any files that might be interfering with WW.

I deleted all sim files in tray. I deleted the localthumbcache. I don't get the error message, but whicked whims will not show in game. What is the 50/50 thing?

 

Thanks for your reply. 😃

if everything doesn't help
rename you Folder in document / the Sims 4 to x
start your game, and slowly put your folder back from sims x to the sims 4

I think soon Microsoft has messed something up. I'm sure I always put my mod folder on an extra SSD, when I write it back it doesn't overwrite
 everything that makes every file (copy). I'm shocked to see over 800 duplicates in the SIM4 mod manager4

I still have this since Win11 24H2, it doesn't ask if the file already exists, 
whether it should be overwritten, it simply copies it in as a (copy).
