UPDATE:
i have managed to fix the bugs but had to completely delete all my sims files and re install everything! No bugs so far though and I can finally play the game properly!!
Ugh, seriously. For me, it's that the UI is unreasonably small since the most recent update. Radio silence since then. I have been ignoring a game I PAID FOR and want to play because I shouldn't have to change my freaking computer settings to play the game, much less have the UI be reasonably visible. It's just ridiculpus and another reason why I'm so over EA and purchasing things from them (stopped buying TS4 packs years ago at this point), it's just money... It's so disappointing, this franchise used to be beautiful - particularly TS2, which is the unplayable one right now!!! :(
you can change the ui scaling if the ui looks small. Patch note 7 explains simply how to change the ui scaling. Although, I do gotta warn that increasing the ui size is just gonna make the ui look slightly blurry
