Broken Main Menu UI with wwwww's after patch 1.124

This is what is popping up. I can’t click or exit out. 

Hmm, it looks like you got a mod what gibving UI-isseus. And by me the mods and cc were disabled automately. And I have enabled t=my mods(exept the scriptmod.) And my game is allwright.

xo_koko1983​ I don't yet have a report of a specific mod doing this after today's update, but 99.9% of the time a result like this is because you didn't remove your mods. After a game patch, you should be using only mods that are updated or cleared as patch-compatible by their creator. 

Instructions on isolating a broken mod are in How to Use Mods and CC, under "50-50" testing.

It seems the new patch keeps coming up with an error message on my MacBook. The second screenshot is when I press the esc button. Where do I go from here, someone?

Ms_ionie​ I'm moving you into a thread for this UI error. Try renaming your Mods folder and deleting the localthumbcache file.

EA has broken my mods yet again. I don't care about the base game stuff! I like my mods because literally modders do everything BETTER THAN EA! WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT IS THAT!? 😠

I was having an issue like this earlier as well. I was trying to test the mods folder (i started using mods recently). But even after I removed the mods folder, I couldn't get my game to load passed what I'm assuming was supposed to be this screen (it was just a shadow with an x in the corner). I repaired the game, nothing. I just finally moved my entire sims folder to my desktop and let the game start with a fresh one, and that is when it finally started working.

I am just now going through my mods to see which ones work and which ones don't. It will be a process which is kinda frustrating, but when you decide to use mods you have to accept that there is a risk. 

In case anyone else uses mods like I do, I would try starting with a new sims folder and going from there. It will save a lot of frustration in the long run. 

I assume by your screenshot this has to do with either SimMattically's Main Menu mods or weerbesu's UI Cheats Extension. These two mods are frequently broken by EA patches and require updates. Wait for an update from any mod creator affecting your main menu, or play in offline mode prior to the patch releasing until all of your mods are cleared.

it was the color slider for me

Had the same issue today yall and figured it out quite easy. All my cc is in sorted various folders, like one for clothes and one for hair etc...  So, I have one for all my CAS stuff and once I moved that folder out the game worked. Don't know about you but for me it was (thepancakes1 color sliders UI) specifically the one meant to work with the more columns mod. So, it might be a UI CAS od of some kinds if you use those.
