What you describe seems to be the normal behavior for a lot when you visit another residential lot that you do not live on with your household. To see inside the house, a sim has to live there and then you can knock on the door. If the lot does not have any sims living there, then you can't get in at all. And you can't go into build mode either. All the controls in the upper right corner are greyed out as well. You can hit the up arrow but it really doesn't do anything.
If you want to enter lots like that, you need to enter them via build mode from the map. Or move a sim on the lot. Either way, you will be able to drop the walls and change levels, etc.
Hope this helps.
- @CGrant56 Its every lot and household in the game, even when I'm playing the family that lives on the lot.
Oh wow. You have definitely got something wrong with your game then if the controls are not working for every lot.
So there are a few things you can do.
For the save where you have the problem. Delete the localthumbcache.package file and see if that clears it up. Deleting that file will clear up a lot of things but honestly, it's a long shot. It doesn't hurt anything to delete that file and let the game create a new one.
You can also start a new save by moving your "The Sims 4" folder elsewhere outside of the "Electronic Arts" folder and let the game create a new one. If that save works then there is something in your current one that is causing the issue. Since you don't use mods and cc, then something may be in that save that is causing it. If you have downloaded any lots from the gallery or elsewhere, one of them may be causing it. So you can try placing the downloaded lots one at the time to see if the problem comes back and then you'll know.
And if none of the above works, you can repair the game.
Hope this helps.
- @CGrant56 So I deleted the localthumbcache.package file, now it's only one lot acting up. I checked my other saves and lots, and its only this specific lot. Its a house that I downloaded from the gallery, however I didn't have any problems with it previously. I'm going to try moving my sims into a different house to save them but I'd really like to save the house too :/
- @Sparkle_Trash Could you try a game repair if that helps ?
- @crinrict doesnt help within the EA app i did it 3 times and uninstall and reinstall
