career menu won't show up

So today I was playing the Sims 4 when I noticed that I wasn't able to start a new career suddenly. Since I didn't know what to do exactly I googled some things up and according to some topics I deleted all the mods/CC that I had installed. Which was weird since I never had any trouble with those mods, however, once everything was deleted it still didn't work.

Afterwards I cleared the cache of Origin as suggested in a topic, but unfortunately it didn't help in any way. My Sims were still not able to start a career or whatever, not through the phone or computer. So, I decided to go to the Origin folder and change the name of the 'Sims 4' folder into 'The Sims 4 Backup', 'fix' the game through Origins and start again. I taught that this actually would work but here I am since nothing seems to work. Included is a screenshot of what kind of pop-up I get.

I am really not sure what I need to do and how this can happen. The Sims 4 is updated, the game is 'fixed' several times, the whole folder is empty, all MODS/CC are deleted, Origins Cache has been deleted... any suggestions on what I can possibly do?

Thank you!

@majoflores123 The mods broken in 2022 won't be the same as those broken now. Please start at the current list for the July 23rd patch: Broken/Updated Mods & CC If you still need help after that, start a new thread.

I tried playing with mods disabled and it still happened, the careers selection menu still appears blank with blue squares. What can I do? i already tried repairing EA app and the Sims 4 game and it didn't work. I tried taking my mods folder in its entirety and it still happened. I tried making a different save and it still happens, I tried and order save and same thing, I can't get a job but in the saves where my character had a job they still do have a job, but I haven't tested if they do go to work or not.

@majoflores123 Please try this:

Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop or rename it

Launch Sims 4

Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

Let me know if that works.
