Wicked Whims Not Working | Step-By-Step Fix

Wicked Whims issue is almost certainly caused by the Sims 4 update (Patch 1.120) released earlier this month. Game updates automatically break script mods like Wicked Whims.

Here is the step-by-step fix to get it running again:

1. The “Script Mods” Toggle (Do this first)

Every time The Sims 4 updates, it resets your settings for safety.

1. Open The Sims 4.

2. Go to Game Options > Other.

3. Check both boxes: “Enable Custom Content and Mods” and “Script Mods Allowed”.

4. Click Apply Changes and Restart the game.

2. Check Your Folder Depth (The #1 Mistake)

Script mods (.ts4script files) will not work if they are buried too deep in folders.

• Correct: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/WickedWhimsMod

• Incorrect: .../Mods/My Folder/Adult Mods/WickedWhimsMod

Rule: The TURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Scripts.ts4script file must be only one folder deep inside your Mods folder. If you put it inside a sub-folder of a sub-folder, the game cannot see it.

3. Delete the “Localthumbcache”

Old data often gets stuck in the cache.

1. Go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/.

2. Find the file named localthumbcache.package.

3. Delete it. The game will generate a fresh one when you launch next.

4. Update the Mod Correctly (Don’t Overwrite)

If you just dragged the new files on top of the old ones, it often breaks.

1. Go to your Mods folder and delete the entire old WickedWhims folder.

2. Download the latest version (likely v185 or higher for the Dec 2025 patch).

3. Unzip the new folder and place it in Mods.
