I'm having the same problem, I haven't played the Sims in months and was excited to finally play and see how Lovestruck was. I can only play for a few minutes at a time, then the bottom task bar completely disappears and I can't do anything. I tried repairing the game, restarting my computer, nothing seems to change it.
Edit - split from Mac tech thread and moved to Mods forum (Bluebellflora)
Does this happen with a new Sims 4 folder as per the accepted solution above?
Yeah I tried this too ☹️
Yes I’ll do this later when I get home, thanks 🙂
Ok so when I do this the game works perfectly. Does this mean something is wrong with my mods or I can't use them anymore?
@aelizabeth116 If your game will launch without mods but not with them, it means at least one mod (not all of them!) needs to be removed or replaced with the updated version.
Info about this is in How to Use Mods and CC
A starting point for removing and updating mods is Broken/Updated Mods & CC . Note that there will be a new thread tomorrow for patch day but that this one will still be available, linked in Mod/CC Issues master post - and of course many mods will need new updates.
If you still have issues after that, instructions on testing your mods are in the how-to post. I can step you through some of that as well, but please note that my focus after the patch tomorrow has to be on the mod list and I'll be checking for support posts in the time leftover.
Thank you, I’m thinking I’m going to just wait until the new update tomorrow and then I’ll try reloading my mods
