Can't build since update

Since updating my game this morning, build mode does not work at all. I can't place anything. I have a video but I couldn't add it.

I thought it was a mod issue but even after removing and turning off my mods, deleting cache, and repairing my game, I still can't place anything. HELP

  • Go into game settings and check the box to use DirectX 9, then relaunch, see if that fixes it. I'm having an issue with DirectX11

  • Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. Be aware that your claimed event rewards will also be gone for the time being but you will get them back with your other things.
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
