  • @nayani_dp  Are you on PC/Mac or console?

    Do you have mods or cc (custom content) of any kind?

    Rename The Sims 4 to The Sims 4.old to preserve your saves, tray, screenshots and mods folders/files.
    Run Repair from Origin as described in the troubleshooting guide.

    Start the game without adding anything back as a test.
    The game will automatically create fresh versions of all the folders/files.
    Start a new game with nothing added back.
    If the game works correctly you will need to test your mods /custom content (CC) to see which they are causing the problem.
    When adding/testing/deleting mods and/or cc it is important to delete the localthumbcache.package and any other cache files.
    Using the 50/50 method is suggested to speed up the process.
