Broken sims 4 since newest update

So yesterday my computer needed an update, and when I had opened sims 4 to play again I noticed at the bottom you known where you click on their moods or family tree. There was a whole bunch of odd colors where the buttons should be. The game was just working fine. Then I took out the recently added mods. And deleted local thumb and when I loaded the game again it told me “Game request broken or missing files remove mods” but this newest update is so big I ran out of space and I can’t put the mods folder on desktop nor can I put them anywhere because I literally have no more storage. I really  don’t wanna start over with my cc. I have 7,000 cc and I play on a HP laptop and I have almost every pack.

    Afaik, the only way around that is to add storage.  You have a couple of choices to give you a place to move your mods folder temporarily so you can get the game updated, etc.  You could use an external hard drive or a USB drive.  A USB is probably the cheapest, but neither is very expensive if you shop around.  You just need to figure out how much space you need and buy what will meet your needs within your budget.  That should get you by temporarily this time.  In the long term though, if you have the problem now, you are going to run into it again, so you probably ought to start looking for a long-term solution.

    Hope this helps.

  • I thought it was just me having this issue.  I also am getting these odd colored buttons on lower right hand side where the needs, inventory, careers buttons are located.  Another  issue I am having is after I go into build mode and  click back to live  all those buttons along with sims buttons disappear totally..   If I then go to save and back to main menu I just  get a white screen.

    Hi @dbka702ADKlwjy - Your issues sound specifically like outdated mods, most of which have now been updated - probably you just need to updated UI Cheats Extension and Color Sliders and remove 15 Clubs Per Sim if you have that one (King Zace hasn't had a chance to update it yet). Check the lists in the thread https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/Broken-Obsolete-and-Updated-Sims-4-Mods-1-102-Oct-31-2023-Game/td-p/13138871 if you still have issues after that.
