All the text are gone after the recent update

As the title said, my game now don't have any text after the update! I can't play anymore because all the option with any text are gone! I had no idea what this option will do since there are no description, caption, explanation with "words" on anything! Such no-texts happened to my home game page, my game loading page, any action a sim can do, the main menu...any place that should have texts on are all blank! I tried to repair the game, update the game again, remove any CC/mods, or even re-install the game (BTW, this took me hours to do.). Unfortunately, none of them can fix this text-free situation.

There is something strange after the update, any simmer will know that when loading into the game, as usual, there is an animation with "the sims 4" will show up, which I'll just click to skip this part. But after the update, I noticed that the Chinese version of this game name "模擬市民4" appear under the game's English title! Once entering the game home page, where you can see the packs you've owned, all the text either go blink or become weird numbers! After reinstalling, I noticed that my Mods somehow change into Chinese version as well! It seems like the game now can't be changed into whatever language you want to! You are now forced to play the language which fit the country or the current location you're playing now.

To sum up, the recent update somehow screwed up the way this game used to determine what or how your game language want to be set up. which resulting in the blink because of the failure to get the right language to show the corresponding text. I guess such weird text-free will occur to those who didn't pick the native language as your country when playing the game.

I wish this could be fix asap! Come on! Simmers want game stuffs to be "tax-free", not "text-free".
  • Its 99% certain that it's your mods causing it. Mods that affect the UI need to be updated almost every update, best to assume every update.
  • I don't think so because I've already checked the mods I've been using, they are all up-to-date. Creators of those mods are very aware how update can cause problems, so they'll do their best to update their mods asap. And when loading into a saved game, the MCCC didn't even warn me about out-of-date mods or something like that. To be specific, the game can still be running as usual, all the in-game features seems to work like before. The only problem is that there is no text at all. So I don't really know what my sims will be doing if I can't see the text. All the interaction you can click become blink, which didn't make any sense. I'm so lost now because I just don't know what caused it...
  • No one can properly know if it's a bug until you remove your entire mods folder and then try it. Even if they are up to date.
  • @OppiuchuserRules Update UI Cheats Extension and check here for others you may need to remove or update: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/974136/broken-updated-mods-cc-april-20-patch#latest. Also only a very few creators have confirmed that their mods don't need updating for this patch. If what's know in this thread doesn't help, you'll need to do a 50/50 to find whatever culprit it is; you may be the first person to identify that a particular mod is broken.
  • Thanks for all the replying! I decided to disabled the mods to see if it will works, but when restarting the game, the 135dec40:90f690cf:00000075:495f32a0] error message popped out. I searched it and found a way to fix it.

    As for how to fix this, both your origin and game language have to be the same. Once done, go to repair the game then the missing text are back. It seems like the game somehow got confused by the language you've chosen to set from origin and the game itself. If your origin and game language didn't match, the game won't be able to determine which one should be used when launching the game. That's why my game will end up text-free because it didn't know what to choose when there are two different languages you're using.

    Thanks for all the help! Wish everyone happiness and luck.

  • Thanks for the update just incase anyone else has that problem! Glad you fixed it!?
