@mndysmsh So, does your purchase menu when you click on the bookshelf not look similar to this popup? Can you share a screenshot?
Also, do you have any CC? Can you please try the following and open a new game save and see if any of these issues are still there? You can exit the game without saving. This is just to test.
Move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving.
If I try to "purchase books" more than a few times it stops bringing up the menu all together then the pink dot comes up. Other menus are fine. I've attached the screenshot, you can't see it but it says available funds are 999,999,999 when theyre really not. I don't have any cc or mods, brand new installed game and I deleted the .package file.

@mndysmsh I have never had this look of the background being this dark, the popup this low on the page (which could be the screenshot, but I think you said it doesn't center, so maybe that's what you mean?), or the Build Mode tools icon showing with a starburst behind it. I'm not sure what you mean about the $999,999,999 available... I only see $4109?
I would recommend to first try this...
- You said you removed Mods, CC, and localthumbcache.package file. Please make sure these are still removed from the game,
- Next, please check that the game is fully updated.
- Then run a game repair.
- Now please re-enter the game and see if this popup looks normal to you. You can open it in a new game save and don't save this game, just check if the issue is still there.

I also noticed it was darker than usual but it was only like that when I had it in windowed mode to get a screenshot. The household funds are correct, the 999999 is on the book menu. The screenshot is the entire screen so thats how it comes up, to the bottom right and cut off not center of the screen. I can usually see the funds when its full screen but I can't hit okay or whatever to get out of the menu.
Game is updated and repaired. I've tried all of these things multiple times which is why I'm stumped.
