What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Pick a lot, go into build buy, the UI on the bottom left is broken.
What happens when the bug occurs? The different UI options all show up meshed together and in pieces.
What do you expect to see? A normal UI with selectable options and multiple pages and options.
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? No

The build buy UI is broken. It's merged with other page options and clipped and cropped so not all the choices can be seen. Please see image. This is for any save, any world, with or without mods.

@LaLadyPanda 

Try the following

  • Close the game
  • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
  • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
  • Start a new save game
  • Check if you still have the error
  • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

@PriimmRoses Lots of mods are broken after this update. Please refer to the posts above for more info.
