Do you have any Mods or CC? If so move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
Yes, so before I posted this I thought I had removed all my mods. But it turned out I hadn't properly cut one of them (I "cut" it but then forgot to paste it out of the EA folder on my computer) and so that's why I was still having the problem; the mod causing the problem was still in there.Thanks, you were right!
Thank you, this was driving me nuts! If anyone else is having this problem, in my case MCCC was the problem. Hope that helps!
