UI Cheats Sims 4 Not Working Error, LE Files, Conflicts All Fixed.

If you are facing the UI Cheats Sims 4 Not Working error, then you are at the right place. The UI Cheats Extension mod is a fantastic tool for Sims 4 players, offering incredible convenience. However, like any mod, especially script mods, things can sometimes go wrong. Maybe the clicks aren’t working, your game is generating strange error files, or things just feel broken after a game update. Don’t worry! These issues are usually fixable.

This guide is here to help you diagnose and fix the most common reasons why UI Cheats Sims 4 might not be working correctly, covering everything from installation mistakes and LE files to pesky mod conflicts.

Issue #1: UI Cheats Sims 4 Not Working Error:

This is usually when you click on needs, money, etc., and absolutely nothing happens. Here’s what to check first:

Verify Installation Basics

The most common culprits are simple installation errors. Double-check these:

1. Are Mods Enabled Correctly? Go into Game Options > Other. Ensure BOTH "Enable Custom Content and Mods" AND "Script Mods Allowed" are checked. You must restart The Sims 4 after enabling these. (Screenshot Placeholder) [Screenshot: Sims 4 Game Options - Other tab showing both Mod checkboxes ticked]
2. Correct Files Present? UI Cheats typically come with two files: a .ts4script file and a .package file. Did you copy both into your Mods folder?
3. Correct Folder Location? Are the files directly in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods? Remember, .ts4script Files usually cannot be placed deep inside subfolders (one level deep is typically the maximum allowed). Try putting both files directly in the main Mods folder.

Is the Mod Outdated?

This is the MOST LIKELY REASON, especially if UI Cheats stopped working right after an official Sims 4 game patch.

• Go directly to the creator Weerbesu’s official page (usually Patreon)/ Or get the Sims 4 UI Cheats Extension here.

• Look for the latest mod download post. Does it explicitly say it’s compatible with the current Sims 4 patch version?

• If your game is updated and you haven’t updated the mod, it will break.

Potential Mod Conflict?

It’s possible another mod is interfering. We’ll cover how to test for this in detail under Issue #3 below.

• See ‘Issue #3: Mod Conflicts’ below for how to check this.

Issue #2: Game Generates Last Exception (LE) Files

Are you finding text files named LastException_....txt or LastCrash_....txt in your Sims 4 Documents folder? These mean the game encountered an error.

• What are LE Files? They are error logs. If you have MC Command Center (MCCC) installed, it often generates detailed LE files when any mod throws a significant error. They are a sign that something is wrong, often an outdated or conflicting mod/CC.
• Location: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 (the same folder where your Mods and Saves folders are).
• Reading LE Files:
  • Open the .txt file with Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
  • Scroll through the text. Look for mentions of specific file paths or mod names.
  • Specifically look for: ui_cheatsextension or file paths pointing inside your UI Cheats files.
  • MCCC Tip: MCCC’s LE reports are often very helpful and may list the probable broken mod file path near the top of the report!
• Common Cause for UI Cheats: If UI Cheats is mentioned in recent LE files, it almost always means your version of the mod is outdated and incompatible with your current Sims 4 patch level.
• Solution: The primary fix is to update UI Cheats to the latest compatible version from Weerbesu. If you’ve updated and still get LEs mentioning it, temporarily remove the UI Cheats files from your Mods folder and see if new LE files stop generating when you play. If they stop, the issue was likely UI Cheats (perhaps still the wrong version or a rare conflict). If they continue, another mod is likely the cause.

Issue #3: Mod Conflicts

Sometimes, Sims 4 UI Cheats might clash with another mod you have installed.

• Why Conflicts Happen: UI Cheats modifies the game’s user interface. If another mod tries to change the same UI element or related game code, they can conflict.
• Symptoms: Parts of the UI might disappear (like need bars), clicks might do nothing or the wrong thing, menus might look strange or overlap, or the game might crash.
• Finding the Culprit: The 50/50 Method: This is the standard way to isolate a conflicting module:
  1. Exit The Sims 4.
  2. Move half of your mods files/folders from your Mods folder to a temporary safe location (like your Desktop). Leave UI Cheats IN your Mods folder for this test if you suspect something else is conflicting WITH it.
  3. Delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder.
  4. Launch The Sims 4 and test if the UI Cheats problem still happens.
  5. If the problem is GONE: The conflicting mod is in the half you removed.
  6. If the problem is STILL THERE: The conflicting mod is in the half you left in (or UI Cheats itself is the problem, likely outdated).
  7. Repeat: Keep narrowing down the problem group by testing half of the suspect mods at a time until you find the exact file causing the issue.
• Known Conflicts: Specific conflicts change over time as mods update. Mods that heavily modify the UI (like other cheat mods, UI replacements, or some custom career mods) are more likely candidates. Check the UI Cheats page comments for recently reported conflicts.
• Tip: Keeping your Mods folder organized with subfolders (remembering the script mod depth limit!) can make the 50/50 method much easier.

Issue #4: UI Cheats Sims 4 Not Working After a Game Update

This isn’t an “error” – it’s expected behavior! The same case initiates the MCCC error in Sims 4 Ui Cheats.

• Reinforce: Official Sims 4 game patches frequently break script mods like UI Cheats. The game’s code changes, and the mod needs to be updated by its creator to work with those changes.

• Solution: There’s only one reliable fix:

  1. Wait for the mod creator (Weerbesu) to release an updated version compatible with the new patch.
  2. Download the updated version from the official source only.
  3. Remove the old UI Cheats files from your Mods folder.
  4. Install the new UI Cheats files.
  5. Delete the localthumbcache.package file before launching.

General Troubleshooting Steps

These are good “first aid” steps for many Sims 4 mod issues:

1. Delete Cache File: Regularly delete the localthumbcache.package file located in your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder. This file can sometimes hold outdated mod data. Exit the game before deleting it.
2. Repair Game: Use the “Repair” function for The Sims 4 within the EA App (or Origin, if applicable). This can fix corrupted game files (it won’t affect your saves or mods).
3. Check Official Sources: Visit Weerbesu’s Patreon/website. Read the latest posts and comments – the creator might have announced known issues, or other users might be reporting similar problems with solutions.

Conclusion

If your UI cheats for Sims 4 are not working, don’t panic! The most common reasons are simply needing to update the mod after a game patch or an incorrect installation. By systematically checking your game options, installation files, looking for LE files, and testing for conflicts using the 50/50 method, you can usually pinpoint the problem.

Always remember to download UI Cheats only from the official creator, Weerbesu, and keep it updated for a smooth, cheat-filled Sims 4 experience!
