Hi there, I'm having issues with the new werewolf pack. I'm able to make werewolves and control them in game, but the text relating to anything to do with the Werewolf aspiration is completely blank. The aspiration seems to be functional - it will check off when completed - there's just no text. I also found that the Townie Lot in Moonwood Mill is named PremadeHouseholdTemplate-WolfTown_Volkov. I've tried the following things to fix it and the issue persists: removed all of my mods and CC repaired my game cleaned my folders by moving my Sims 4 folder from the EA folder and allowing the game to create a brand new file uninstalled and reinstalled the game pack I've attached some screenshots of the issue. Thanks for any help! Isabel Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title

I had Better Build Buy installed before this all happened and this was the cause of GP12 folder in Delta. https://www.patreon.com/posts/better-buildbuy-67868500 here is all explanation, hope that helps!

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? 1.89.214.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Expansion Packs; All Game Packs except Journey to Batuu; All Stuff Packs; All Kits except Decor to the Max, Moonlight Chic and Little Campers.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When entering Build Mode, after installing the Werewolves Game Pack, I noticed all the new Build/Buy items all had **DEBUG** in place of their names and descriptions. (picture attached) Entering CAS, the new Aspiration has no description. (picture attached) This does not appear to have affected any of the other packs/kits.
What happens when the bug occurs? No lastexception is generated, and nothing game breaking, as far as I can tell - the pack items are just missing their descriptions.
What do you expect to see? Descriptions in place of the **DEBUG** placeholders/missing descriptions.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After installing the Werewolves Game Pack/ Patch 1.89.214.1030

. Descriptions for the Werewolves pack do not appear on the Aspiration in CAS, and appear as **DEBUG** in the Build/Buy catalogue and do not appear properly after all the attempts to fix the issue listed below:

- Have attempted loading the game without mods.
- Deleted localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package.
- Deleted Resource.cfg from the Mods folder.
- Repaired the game through Origin.
- Tried Rolling Back my current save file.
- Tried running a Save As version of my current save file.
- Tried loading a new save.
- Cleared Origin cache.
- Attempted a Sims 4 Folder Refresh.

@BubbleQueeeen

I merged your post with the main thread on this. Could you please try all the suggestions in the first post.

Sine a repair didn't work, try changing language and back if you can.

I've tried everything, removing all mods and CC, repairing the game, deleting localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package, changing the language and nothing is working for me.

@xoGerardine Could you check this folder: c:\programs(x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\GP12 if you have a file looking like Strings_xxx_xx.package (the path may where depending on where you have the game installed).

Not exactly sure what XXX and XX would be for polish

@xoGerardine That is interesting. Could you move it to the desktop and then repair the game again ?

I'm having precisely the same issue - none of the text of the new pack was appears to have downloaded successfully. This even includes itemname descriptions and etc - every new buildbuy item in the pack only shows up as labeled **DEBUG** even though they're not in the debug menu.
