I tried pretty everything. I'm not a new guy in town, I use many mods and most of them work fine (few just don't like douglasveiga's gardening spells or some custom plants). And no, I don't have too many mods because I got rid of most of them just to make Kinkymod appear in my game.
I need to try to make a new folder, but let's make things clear: you mean 'the sims 3' folder where the game is actually installed or 'the sims 3' in documents where the game keeps it's cache files, saves, screenshots and stuff?
