Game Breaks After Leaving Build/Buy

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? It's up to date.
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have most expansions and a few game and stuff packs. I don't think I have any kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enter Build/Buy then exit.
What happens when the bug occurs? The UI breaks, making the game unplayable.
What do you expect to see? For the game to work.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It was the latest patch.

‌

This only seems to happen with one of my families. I need to check to see if it happens to other families. But I'm pretty sure this is because of the latest patch, because everything was working fine before. Plus, my mods are all up to date.

    Hi @moonwariorautum Updated mods can still turn out to be broken, and definitely mods that haven't been updated can be broken. Please test without mods: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    So I removed my mods, and figured out what was the problem. It was not my mods, but the Resource.cfg file. Deleting it and having the game replace it helped.

    @moonwariorautum Thanks! Since you had a corrupted resource.cfg folder, you might consider going ahead and making a fresh user folder in general. Drag the whole Sims 4 folder out, start the game, exit, then copy files back into new folders and redo your Options.
