[FIXED] [STEAM] HSY missing String files

The proper String file is in the EP12 folder and I've tried repairing, reinstalling, etc. and nothing seems to help. There's still no text for the entire new pack which obviously means it's unplayable. Is anyone else still having the same issue? Does anyone have any further suggestions?

Well, I don't know if this would help, but it helped me.

• Back up your saves. Just move the whole save directory to another location and rename it. Don't copy, just move it (the game will recreate what it needs).
• Do a complete uninstall, reboot your computer.
• Reinstall and create a new game to test with.
  • When I did this I got partial text - text on the neighborhood and catalog items, but not houses.
  • Maybe even open the English string file (with some package editor, like Sims 4 Studio or something), see if there's content in it. 
  • If there isn't, replace it with the string file @SimQARobo mentioned earlier.
• If that works, then restore your saves.
  • This didn't fix the new test game for me, but it did fill the text in for me in my old saves.

Again, don't know if that will help, but it worked for me. Good luck!
