Re: can't choose career

HI @LatteLlama 

Try the following

  • Close the game
  • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
  • Repair the game
  • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
  • Start a new save game
  • Check if you still have the error
  • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    @lattellama I had the exact same issue.
    It ended up being a mod script that messed my game up pretty bad and even after I followed the whole 'new folder' it did nothing for my game. I had to uninstall and reinstall my game (which mind you takes HOURS to do). The new pack is not liking the mods/ccs on top of causing some issues itself. All I can do is wait for mods/ccs to be updated or EA to catch on to the errors and apply more updates.
    Good luck to ya.

    @crinrict
    thank you for your response! i followed all the steps and the bug still occurs without fail. I can also no longer open Skills, nor can I open sim-specific cheats (clicking my sim while holding Shift with cheats enabled does nothing). I am unable to drag items in live mode. Also, whenever I visit a lot that's not the home lot, my sims's picture and buffs disappear. Even once returning, the graphics are not there, the queue is shared between all of the sims in my household, it will not automatically snap to my sims when i double click on their profile, etc.
