Wicked Whims Not Working | Enable Script Mods to Fix

If Wicked Whims is not working in your game, there are several common reasons and solutions you can try to fix the issue:

Here are some common troubleshooting steps to help get it back up and running:

How to Fix 

1. Check for Mod Updates

• Game Updates: WickedWhims often needs an update after The Sims 4 gets a patch. If you’ve recently updated The Sims 4, make sure you have the latest version of WickedWhims. Visit the mod creator’s site to check for any updates.

  • You can find the latest version on the WickedWhims Patreon.

2. Ensure Proper Installation

• Double-check that the mod files are correctly installed in the Mods folder:

  • Open the Mods folder inside The Sims 4’s installation directory.

  • Ensure the WickedWhims folder is inside the Mods folder, and the files are unzipped if they were compressed.

  • You should have a folder named WickedWhims with several .ts4script and .package files inside.

3. Check for Script Mods Setting

• Go to Game Options > Other in The Sims 4 menu, and make sure that Script Mods are enabled.

• If this is unchecked, WickedWhims won’t run. Make sure both Script Mods and Custom Content are enabled.

4. Mods Folder Structure

• Sometimes, mods in subfolders don’t load properly. Make sure WickedWhims is directly inside the Mods folder and not inside another subfolder.

• If you have a lot of mods, it’s also worth testing WickedWhims in an empty Mods folder to see if there’s a conflict with another mod.

5. Mod Conflicts

• Mods can sometimes conflict with each other, causing one or both to break. If you’ve recently added other mods, try removing them temporarily to see if WickedWhims works on its own.

• You can also try removing all other mods and running just WickedWhims to isolate the problem.

6. Clear Cache Files

• Clear the game’s cache files, as these can sometimes cause issues with mods:

  • Close The Sims 4.

  • Go to the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder.

  • Delete the localthumbcache.package file. This file will regenerate when you reopen the game.

7. Check for Errors

• Look in the The Sims 4 game’s Mods folder for any error messages. Sometimes, WickedWhims will output errors if there’s a problem with the installation or the version mismatch.

• If you find any error files, visit the WickedWhims mod page or check relevant forums for information on those specific errors.

8. Test Without Other Mods

• Sometimes other mods can affect WickedWhims. Try moving all other mods out of the Mods folder temporarily and check if WickedWhims works alone. If it does, the problem is likely due to a conflict with another mod.

9. Check for Compatibility with Other Sims Versions

• If you’re using any unofficial versions of The Sims 4, WickedWhims may not be compatible with them. Make sure you’re using a legal and updated copy of the game.

🛠 Advanced Fixes:

• Reset Your Mods Folder: If none of the above works, consider starting fresh by renaming the existing Mods folder, launching the game, and then reinstalling just WickedWhims to test.

• Reinstall The Sims 4: As a last resort, you can uninstall and reinstall The Sims 4 along with WickedWhims. This should fix any issues caused by corrupted game files.
