Not exactly sure what XXX and XX would be for polish
Yep, I have a file Strings_POL_PL.package in this folder
- crinrict4 years agoHero+@xoGerardine That is interesting. Could you move it to the desktop and then repair the game again ?
- xoGerardine4 years agoRising Traveler
I did exactly what you said and it's not working still. I also noticed that all items from this pack are labeled DEBUG.
- crinrict4 years agoHero+
@xoGerardine Was a new file created ?
@REDB1RD92 @moriiSola Merged your posts as well. Please try suggestions on the first page and if those don't help, please check if you have the english string file in GP12
- xoGerardine4 years agoRising Traveler
Yes, the date of the file says 25.05.2022, the file that I moved to the desktop has the same date
- crinrict4 years agoHero+@xoGerardine Mine has the same date so guess that's the file date.
You said you change the language. Did you go into the game to see if it works in another language or has the same issue ? - xoGerardine4 years agoRising Traveler
Yes, I did go into my game to see if this change of the language did the trick but it didn't. Still no text. Then I changed it back to Polish but still, that didn't fix it.
- moriiSola4 years agoNew Rookie@crinrict looks like I was missing that string file in the GP12 folder that is a subfolder of the Delta folder! I was able to copy the string file from the GP12 folder just sitting in the Sims 4 program file and boom - all the text is back. Thanks so much! weird that it needs the same thing in two places though
- crinrict4 years agoHero+
@moriiSola the delta folder are usually the changes made by patches so it needs string files too. It might be that some strings are still missing if you copy the file over but at least it's a workaround for now. Interesting that you have one already.
@REDB1RD92 @xoGerardine could you try this as well ? - xoGerardine4 years agoRising Traveler
OMG it worked!!! GP12 folder in Delta had only one file, ResourceClient.cfg, so I just copied and pasted all things from GP12, including string and it's working! I hope it's gonna get patched tho, it's very annoying. Thank you so much for your help! x
- crinrict4 years agoHero+@REDB1RD92 Who says I'm human ?
I can't really take credit for it though :D
Really interesting though as I don't have a GP12 folder in Detla yet. - 4 years ago
@moriiSola Thank you soo much! Can confirm this advice fixed my issue (and the issue for another user on the support server I'm a part of)!! (attached a photo of the same item I had attached with issues before for proof, haha)
Thanks @crinrict too, for directing my post to the right place for a solution!
Appreciate you both! <3 - 4 years ago
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? 1.89.214.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Nearly all of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open the game with Werewolves installed and try to do any werewolf or Moonwood Mill specific actions (ie. exploring the tunnels, asking about Moonwood Mill, etc)
What happens when the bug occurs? The options for Werewolf and Moonwood Mill interactions are still available and show up, but they show as either blank bubbles or only show the little red werewolf icon. My sims can still explore the tunnels, but the popups show up blank and I can still click on the empty bubbles to advance them. The popup to explain what they are doing in the tunnels also comes up blank, but is large like the text is just not showing up.
What do you expect to see? Text in the popups and interactions.
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? Neutral/Not Sureā
It was working fine before, but I reinstalled the updated versions of TOOL and BBB by TwistedMexi and then this started happening. I have since disabled mods again and removed the mods from my Mods folder. I have also repaired my game and cleared my cache, but it is still happening.

@xoGerardinePerfect! Thanks for the help.
In my case it was Delta > G12 missing the string file so I copied that over from the other G12 and now all werewolf interaction text is back.Edit: For context the game played just fine last night until I repaired my game. Then this issue popped up.
- 4 years ago@SimplyJen This is exactly how I fixed mine, quick and easy, maybe check and see if your delta G12 folder is missing the string file before going thru the lengthy suggested methods.

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!

This post, right here!
The new update to the mod seems to have fixed it, and all the text has returned to their rightful places - 4 years ago
Hi, had same issue but the steps in this thread worked for me - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/CURRENT-ISSUE-Codes-instead-of-text-Blank-text-and-bubbles/td-p/3903165/page/110 . Basically copy the language string from the GP12 folder to the Delta > GP 12 folder. My text is back now š
- christian_394 years agoSeasoned Adventurer
So to sum up (for anyone joining late to the party):
1) If you copied the strings to Delta/GP12 => delete them.2) Delete the Delta/GP12 folder. It was created by the mod. We don't need it yet. When an update is released it will come back again but with propert files
3) IMMEDIATELY update the BetterBuildBuy mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/67868500. The full explanation is there!
If you are still being affected by the blank dialogs after this, the reason may be another mod.
I was having this issue and tested with a brand new save foler, brand new save, no mods, etc. Since the BBB files were still placed in Delta/GP12 the issue was not solved. I also had BBB updated to 2.6.1 (the latest until a couple of hours ago) so I never suspected it was the cause of the issue (when doing the tests with mods installed). I thought it was weird that folder existed to begin with since folders inside /Delta are created/updated when we receive updates.@crinrict The steps shared above should solve the issue for everyone with minimal impact to the game files and without having to repair the game (did it 3 times while testing xD)
- 4 years ago@mzjackson2u I love you forever and a day. You're amazing. Thank you so much. I've been searching the webs all day trying to get this fixed! Since the pack release, I haven't been able to play. You're a saint.
- 4 years ago@mzjackson2u Thank you so much!! I was looking for this fix all afternoon, you are a lifesaver!

Hi! I noticed that you said that it was interesting that they have a GP12 folder. Is there something that I can do if I don't have that folder? At least, I don't think I do.
- jpkarlsen4 years agoHero (Retired)
Buy and install the Werewolf pack then you will have this folder.
- VeraaVexx4 years agoRising Novice
I have purchased and installed the pack. I am having the issue of the text strings not showing up while playing the pack. The thing is, the question was, what do I do if I do not have the folder. Telling me I for sure have it when I'm asking what to do when I don't see it isn't particularly helpful. Thanks though!
