What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except journey to Batuu, strangerville and some kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? i don't know
What happens when the bug occurs? with almost all the new things from the life and death pack. There is no text. ex: The neighborhood info, the reaper career, the bucket list,... But also when i click on a sim or furniture i see a vase icon but nothing else. When I click on it, i get a notification but again no text.

    Could you check if you have the following file 

    You can find your default location in the EA app settings. If you installed somewhere else, look there.

    <Installation Folder>\The Sims 4\EP17\Strings_ENG_US.package

    If you do have this file, check if you have a EP17 folder  in The Sims 4\Delta 

    If you do have a EP17 folder there, check if the same file can be found in there. If not, copy the file from the EP17 folder to the Delta\EP17 folder.

    @Hollow_Rhythm Maybe there were changes to language when the game went free. I have no idea really how it works now for those countries that only have three languages or only english (like UK used to be)
  • repair game also worked for me, but it changed the language in the game from English to Czech (I think), sooo yaaaay 😞

    I just bought new life and death exoansion pack and the issue none of the related to the expancion pack descriptions working. No descriptions of the enviroment are showing up. No characteristic descriptions. Nothing.. The icons are there as usual  but the description are just blank or have randon letters and numbers instead. Funny thing is everything related to other expansion pavks is working as usual. Only lufe and death pack stuff aint. I tried fixing the game, deleting a the mods but nothing helps. Ill upload the pics to show u the issue roughly.
