@107531kop, yes, that is worrisome now that the semester has started! 😞 Do you happen to use any Mods/CC?🤔 If so, please do the following:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method.
The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version.
Now, if this doesn't work, or if you don't use any Mod/CC, there might be another problem with your game. 🤨 In my game the Univeristy tab is on the right hand side of the menu. But please either inform us if you don't use Mods/CC or if you do try the above procedure first, then reply back to update us! 😇Thank you!
@107531kop, I'm so glad you were able to fix your problem! 🙌 Thanks for updating us! 😇
What mods did you remove I’m having the same issue
For me the mod causing this issue turned out to be the Criminal Work From Home mod by Noelle Bellefleur, so if you have that try removing it and see if it works?
@Santaraaaaa, if @107531kop does not reply to tell you which Mods caused her problem, you can do the steps I listed above in the post with the green check mark next to it, in order to figure out which Mods or CC is causing the problem. 😇 Those are steps you should always take when you have a problem with your game, especially after a game update, as now some Mods and CC could be outdated. 🤨 Using Mods and CC requires some maintenance on your part. (I'm too lazy to do this, so I never use Mods or CC! 😃 )
I don't have any of the other mods you referred to but I did remove the Personal Objects "computers & tablets" by LittleMsSam like you said you did so I'm hoping this works for me as well! Thank you for listing what you removed, that helps me so much!
HI! I'm having a similar issue! Which mods did you get rid of, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
@bellamyblue05, even if you found which Mods were causing their problem, we just had a new patch to the game, so there is a chance that another Mod could now also cause this problem. 🤨 It is best to test for all Mods and CC. Also, sometimes bits of corrupted data can remain 😞, so it is best to delete the localthumbcachepackage.file and do a repair. Therefore, please do all of the following to see if and which Mods/CC are causing the problem:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method.

These are the same steps given in the solution to this topic on the first page; I just reposted them here for your convenience. 😉
Please update us on if this works for you or not. 😇
Did you found out?
