Can't interact with own sim or other sims
Hello! I started having this issue today and am completely lost on how to fix this. When you click on your sim, or an npc, the bubbles with different actions pop up. That stopped happening for me...

Hi @stanyoungjae. There's a very good chance that something in your Mods folder not listed somewhere as not compatible is actually not compatible anyway. You can find out if that's the case with this test:
After exiting Sims 4, drag your whole Mods folder to your desktop. Then delete the file called localthumbcache from Document > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, you can start the process of figuring out what from your Mods folder was causing it.
To figure out what game mod or CC is breaking the Sim interaction UI, you can then do a 50-50 elimination process:
Organizing the files there into bite-size batches and test one batch at a time. Make sure a batch includes files that mods depend on, like XML Injector or Core Library. For each test, delete the file called localthumbcache, then put only that batch in Mods. If your game behaves as you expect, set that batch aside as "cleared" and delete localthumbcache again. If it doesn't behave as you expect, take out half the batch and see if you're closer to finding the culprit. Remember to delete localthumbcache each time. You'll find some 50-50 method tutorials online too. Once you isolate the file, you can go find out if there's an updated version.
