In this guide, you will find out how to fix common wicked whims issues. Go through the guide and follow all the instructions carefully to get rid of these issues.
2. To avoid corrupting your game, make sure to delete the localthumbcache.package file from the “The Sims 4” folder. This should be done every time you add or delete a mod or custom content from your Mods folder. As you’re playing the game, you have to go to the game options and make sure your custom content and mods are enabled. Also, check that any script mods are enabled by looking in your other settings.
3. Your game version should be compatible with the wicked whims version you downloaded and installed. If it isn’t, there are a few different ways to solve the problem. You can either update your game to the latest patch or look for a compatible wicked whims version of your current game.
4. Wicked Whims comes in a zipped folder, so if you’re using a Windows computer, you’ll need to extract the folder using a file archiver like WinRAR. The unzipped folder is what should be placed directly inside the mods directory on your game’s main folder. If you’re a Mac user, then there’s no need to do the above step. Macs come with built-in file archive capabilities. But if you don’t find this feature, you can always search for a file archiver that is compatible with Mac OS.
5. If a wicked whims file is missing, then you can try looking for it in different locations on your computer. One potential location to look at is the downloads folder or OneDrive. If you find that the file is there, transfer it to your Mods folder. If none of these options work, it’s possible that your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the missing file. If that’s the case, try adding an exception to your firewall/antivirus software.
6. Look up if you have any animations installed. If you only have one installed, download and install as many as you can just to see if the problem is with that animation.
7. You may need to check your mods folder if you are experiencing any issues with the game. Look for duplicate files, and delete the previous version of the mod. Make sure there is only one copy of each file, then delete the localthumbcache.package file from the “The Sims 4” folder.
8. Occasionally, other mods may cause issues with wicked whims. You need to check the other mods that may have similar features as wicked whims, and revisit the website where you downloaded it to see if they mention any conflicts with other mods, specifically wicked whims.
9. Whenever there’s a new game update, mods like “UI cheats” and “More Columns in CAS” will want to be updated. If they are not compatible with the recent patch, your game might experience glitches and even crash. To prevent this from happening, make sure you update these mods as soon as an update becomes available. Otherwise, delete them and delete the localthumcache.package file as well.
10. Sometimes you tend to only look at mods as the possible culprit, but sometimes custom contents are the problem. That’s why scanning your game using better exceptions mod is a good step to find the culprit. If you have followed all of these instructions and are still experiencing problems, it might be that your game save is corrupt. It’s best to create a new game save just in case you want to go back to it later or do a factory reset.
