DO NOT OPEN A SAVED GAME, STAY ON MAIN MENU OR YOUR GAME WILL SAVE WITHOUT YOUR CC (you will have to re-do sims and homes that have CC!). Go into game options and enable script mods and custom content in game options. After it updates (without the mods folder), click 'Play.' The game will open. When you find out there is a new patch update, DON'T OPEN ORIGIN UNLESS YOU REMOVED YOU MODS FOLDER FIRST! I recommend turning it off because it will update with your mods still in the game.

Step 1: Remove Mods Folder from Sims 4 folder(located:Documents>Sims 4> Mods)by placing it in your desktop (drag+drop) Step 2: Go to The Sims 4 in Origin, click Gear Icon under 'PLAY.' (Your game will automatically update if you don't turn the automatic updating off in Origin settings).
