I tried travelling to a different lot, no change.

I tried repairing the game files using the EA app, no change.

I tried removing the localthumbcache.package file and restarted the game, no change.

Edit: I turned on cheats and I am able to shift click on a sim to get the cheat menu. However, I tried resetting my sim and npc sims and still, no social menu.

    I'm not 100% sure if all platforms have rolled out but I'm going to lock this now.


    Addressed an issue where Sims that had achieved certain skill levels and had unlocked or crafted specific recipes, or had written music, were then unable to select interactions on themselves, on other Sims, and on certain objects.

    What can you do if you still have issues ?

    1. Remove all your mods/cc and delete the localthumbcache file. This IS important. Test without them.

    2. Repair the game

    3. Check your game version. You can find it in the lower right corner of your main menu. It should be: 1.105.332 or 1.88 for console

    4. If you still have issues, create a new thread and provide your Sim to the gallery. Make sure to post WHICH objects you still have issues with

    My thread was merged here but I have a different issue

    There were a lot of threads and some were just turning into collections. I did not read every post in here either so it's possible that strays landed here. If you had a different issue, create a new thread (again, remove your mods/cc first)
