Just so you know, I have the same problem as @CutiPiiPenguin (I am also using a Linux computer (Ubuntu 20.04), with Lutris to run Origin)
All my saves are affected. At first, I thought It was a CC issue, so I tried to play on a clean install and the "Black squares" are still there even without any CC.
Also, some clothes, accessories or Build/Buy mode items are also replaced by a "black square" (mainly CC, but not all CC)
For me, it started on Saturday in the afternoon (Eastern Time). I think I installed Updates on my Ubuntu around that time too, but I remember it was working during the AM.
I hope it helps.
It's on all saves and I haven't been using cc recently.
Even if I make a new sim in cas the icons are missing.
Lot icons being large black squares on the maps makes the game even less playable.
I had the issue before and after recent Ubuntu updates. I'd say it's been almost two days that my icons have disappeared.
see if today's patch has fixed this for you lot. testing on my main save at the moment, and everything/everyone seems to be back, no longer square. 😛
