@midge719: Since you're not opposed to mods, I would recommend the following: Put in Twallan's Selector Mod and use one of the interactions to see if it throws a script error. If you do, post it at twallans and see if he has a tip for you.
@winstonsmith: Rest the Sim with resetsim firstname lastname and/or move him out and back in (if possible). If that doesn't help, please answer the questions in the second post
@tmoore1989: Did you try the factory reset ?
@asdfthesims: Thanks. That is fine.
@Jenngnome: I will need to check that out. Getting back to you later
@Mstybl95:
1) Go to documents\electronicarts\thesims3 and find a file called options.ini or just options. Move that to the desktop and restart your game (make sure launcher and game are closed while you are moving the file). You will need to re-set the options. Then restart the game and see if it does the same.
2) Check if it's in the list twice. A lot of time if it's not recognized as bought properly, it'll be in the list to buy but also in the list to play (without the coin icon). You can also turn off the ingame Store for the buy option one to disappear entirely.
@Ricalynn: Just link the post with your data new posts. That would be great. It was too much work listing everyones data on the first page last time. It's only necessary if it's a new issue though. So in this case, no not necessary. I'll add the extra info.
I would recommend Overwatch to get them unbugged. Afterwards I would assume it should work fine.
@VanillaCupcakess: Is it different from the pics elanorbreton posted ? I think everyone is affected and I can't think of a solution how to fix it.
@tammyjo329: I'll add
@envira_x: Always glad if issues get fixed on their own. Waste as much space as you want :P
