Can’t Buy Anything In Build Mode! Help

i don’t use mods so i don’t have them. i only have one extension and that’s seasons. i just recently got the game and started playing again. before i had the extension the game still wouldn’t let me place items in build mode. my sim recently just had a baby who has now aged up to be a toddler, but i can’t buy a toddler bed because build and buy mode won’t let me place one. if i click on any other object it sells them rather than giving me an option on what i want done with it. i have tried to repair the game, i uninstalled and reinstalled nothing seems to be working. if someone could help me i would appreciate it.

    Hi @miyah003 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
