Build/buy options are glitched

Question

Hi there - I'm new to this and looked for help with the EA team but they didn't know what was going on.

For a while now, the build/buy options on the left side of the screen are all glitched and overlapping each other. It makes it so I'm not able to change swatches or click on certain things I want to use. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

@Scmar12Do you have any mods in the game? Have you already tested the game without them and deleted the localthumbcache.package in your user folder?

@Scmar12 If you are using mods (outdated mods are usually the cause of this error), see these two threads for updates:
