Can't add Sims from gallery
I was looking in the gallery for a male partner and when I'm in CAS I try to merge or replace the sim it doesn't add the sim or do anything. I play on a PC and I do have mods and CC. I disabled mods/...

@NiaNiaNiaaaa I have not done 'replace' (tried recently and it didn't work for me , but I assumed it was the manner in which I wanted to 'replace'. However, I just tried this with a sim and found the following:
- If I went into the worldview and selected to 'Create a New Household to Move In' in the bottom right corner, I get an open CAS with a new, Sims auto-generated random sim. If I then, with that CAS still open, click 'Gallery' and choose a sim from my Library to 'Place Household', I get the option to merge or replace. When I chose replace, I got a half-greyed out screen with him merged with the household (still in CAS) and no options... it froze the game and I had to exit without saving.

If I then, with that CAS still open, click 'Gallery' and choose a sim from my Library to 'Place Household', I get the option to merge or replace. When I chose merge, the process seems to act as expected. I see the sim then included in the previous household in CAS.I didn't want the random sim to stay, so I clicked the "X" next to her thumbnail in CAS and chose to delete her. Alternatively, I could have kept her also. I see the options expected before exiting CAS... to save the household (folder) to my library (or upload to the gallery), or to click the checkmark at the bottom to 'play' the household... which brings me to the moving screen in worldview where I see the normal move-in options.
I'm not 100% sure if this behavior is different than in the past. If this is not the what you see when you do the same, you may want to try the following (if any steps vary from what you tried) to see if it makes a difference:

Close your game. Move your entire Mods folder to your desktop (save it for reference) & delete the localthumbcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder. Then open your game and create a brand new save and try this process ) merge in the new save to see if it works right there. Then exit the game without saving. If the issue was gone without the Mods folder, then it's likely the issue is with a Mod or CC.
