The Sims 4 community is buzzing with excitement for the new family-friendly paradise of San Sequoia. Unfortunately, some eager Simmers are experiencing a “blank screen of doom” when trying to access it in the Growing Together expansion.

Mods and official content don’t mix well. Mod content that once used to be compatible with The Sims 4 has been overwritten by the newly introduced Growing Together expansion, which resulted in a glitchy, broken game experience. So, you need to do some mod detective work to fix the San Sequoia blank screen error. Find out which mods are compatible with the Growing Together expansion and which have become obsolete. Remember that the Sims 4 modding community tends to be quite active, so modders will likely patch up incompatible mods soon.

Sadly, popular worldbuilding mod Twisted Mexi‘s T.O.O.L. is incompatible with the Growing Together DLC, leaving Simmers without their beloved tuning overlay. But there’s still hope that Twisted Mexi will swoop in and patch things up soon. However, you might want to keep this mod off your game until they post an official confirmation that the mod is compatible.
