I can't see my gallery, messages,and can't use CAS. what do I do?

Dear Reader,

Im so confused on what's going on. It's been about two years since I've played the sims on my computer. Not because I haven't wanted to but because I didn't have the time and I had just transferred my cc to my Mac from a different computer. Though since it's the summer I decided to try and play the sims since I hadn't in a while. When I opened the app it all seemed fine at first until I came to the opening page where it gives you the option to load a new game, resume a game etc. The first thing I noticed was that the different expansion package ads that are usually there weren't. I didn't think much of it though since it had been a while since I played. The next thing I noticed was that when I opened options each tab was empty with red dots next to it. Not only that but after I closed the options tab I couldn't reopen it. The next issue was the gallery, I opened it and each tab on top that usually mentions sims, houses etc just had "wwwwwwww" in its place.I closed it out and once again I couldn't reopen it. I checked to see if I could create a new game to see if my cc was still intact but when I clicked it the screen was white. In the end I had to force quit the sims and reopen it. After I reopened it I tried to just resume the last game I played but when it opened I couldn't interact with the sim, I couldn't see their emotions, and all the notifications regarding the sim was in numbers instead of words. So instead of it saying like a call it would be "138563928" etc. 

Does anyone know what I should do?

Sincerely,

Salemcore

  • @Pandacorn_Bamboo  This is typically caused by a mod, particularly one that affects the user interface, for example UI Cheats.  If you have any such mods or any made by TwistedMexi, try removing those first, and delete localthumbcache.package as well.  Then test the game.

    If this doesn't help, or you don't have any UI mods, move the entire Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache (again), then test.
