Re: Sims 4 eco lifestyle bug

@FilthyEarthenBoy  Please repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  If that doesn't help, clear Origin's cache:

restart your computer, and repair again.

If the issue is still present, please test in a clean Sims 4 user data folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to this folder yet; just start a new save, go into Build/Buy, and see whether the issues are still present.  Let me know either way.
