Just ran into an update issue that would not allow the sim to load. It would show splash screen then go dark and hang. Reproduced this twice to be sure. Initially thought it was an addon recently installed so cleared community. Still no luck. Here are the steps I took:
Windows 10 cumulative update for 22H2 (kb5019959)
-
removed update
-
restarted and still wouldn’t load
-
ran disk cleanup on temp and system files
-
restarted and it worked
-
added all mods back in and it loaded with no issues
-
closed sim and added cumulative update and restarted
-
sim wouldn’t load
-
left addons but removed cumulative update
-
restarted and wouldn’t load
-
ran disk cleanup on temp and system files again
-
restarted and it loaded with no issues
Hope this helps someone else.
