  • @simslover99 Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache and then try again on a backup of your save to see of you can duplicate the issue on a game with no mods.
  • This is also happening to me too.

    I've removed my mods folder, restarted my computer, cleared the cache in the EA app, repaired the game, and have gone in and edited the EA like lolomgcats recommended in a comment on this post from June.

    I'm currently doing a complete uninstall/reinstall of the entire game and will see if that fixes anything. I thought it was some CC in my mods folder but I'm doubtful about that at this point given everything I've tried to mitigate the issue. 

    I'll be bookmarking this thread and will report back if I find any fixes.
