cannot use items

after updating my game from the most recent update, i cannot use items in live mode. i cannot use base game nor cc item, and even after removing all of my mods and CC, my game is still unplayable. when i click on chairs, couches, and other items, options/actions do not pop up, making the items unusable for my sims. i have even disabled mods and cc in the game settings, and i am still having this issue.
