Introduction With every patch/game update mods/cc become outdated or even obsolete. Some mods are outdated with almost every patch, others hardly ever. This is just how mods work and is no one's fault. Running your save with an outdated mod can lead to serious issues though to the point where you can't even load the game. In most cases, removing the outdated mods will fix the game but there are instances where this is not the case You lost progress because of the mod and then saved the game The mod corrupted your save Because of this, it's very important to make a backup of your saves before every patch. This is also recommended if you don't use mods cause there are of course also new game bugs. It's also advisable that if you do run into issue to leave the game without saving. What's the purpose of this thread ? Some mods show (almost) identical symptoms with every patch others show new symptoms with a specific patch. To help with all that, this thread contains a list of symptoms and possible culprits. If you have further issues, please post in this thread so other mod users can help you figure out what the issue is or use the 50/50 Method (works for all versions of the Sims) to find faulty mod/cc yourself. If you exhausted all troubleshooting steps provided and still have issues on a new save game with an empty mods folder, please post describing what you have tried. A good mod that can assist you with finding outdated mods is Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi. This list is not conclusive and always a work in progress. New threads will be added so check often. There can also be other mods that cause the same issues but aren't listed. Please always delete the localthumbcache file (a cache file that will recreate when you restart the game) after deleting or adding mods/cc. You can find some more info on the file here Other Resources More information on what mods are and how to install them here: [FAQ] How to use Mods/CC Links to the more common mods/CC and broken mod lists: [INFORMATION] Common Game Fixing Mods - Hero Approved Old Compiled List with a few more threads that can help you: Compiled List of Outdated Mod Issues Troubleshooting your game/How to do a proper factory reset: [READ FIRST] Troubleshooting your Game

I fixed the issue! Not entirely sure what was broken, but earlier I used Sims 4 studio to batch fix my cc, specifically to turn disallow random sims from using CC. I replaced the mods with the backup, ran my game, and the bug was fixed.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? PC Version 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Growing Together Expansion Pack, High School Years Expansion Pack, Cottage Living Expansion Pack, Snowy Escape Expansion Pack, Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack, Discover University Expansion Pack, Island Living Expansion Pack, Get Famous Expansion Pack, Seasons Expansion Pack, Cats and Dogs Expansion Pack, City Living Expansion Pack, Get Together Expansion Pack, Get To Work Expansion Pack, Werewolves Game Pack, Vampires Game Pack, Realm Of Magic Game Pack, Strangerville Game Pack, Parenthood Game Pack, Jungle Adventure Game Pack, Spa Day Game Pack, Outdoor Retreat Game Pack, Star Wars: Journey To Batuu Game Pack, Paranormal Stuff Pack, Toddler Stuff Pack, Spooky Stuff Pack, My First Pet Stuff Pack, Laundry Day Stuff Pack, Kids Room Stuff Pack, Vintage Glamour Stuff Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I can't find anything in the build/buy mode because everything is messed up. And with the infants update I can't put the infants in the cribs or on the playmat without them going right to my sims feet.
What happens when the bug occurs? I have two bug problems. The first is with the latest update, I don't have everything like the ceiling tiles in build/buy mode. Plus when I go into build/buy mode everything is messed up. I can't find anything. When I click on something, I can't click on what I want, it sometimes clicks on what I don't want. The icons in build/buy mode are messed up I can't find anything. The second bug problem is with the infant update. When my sims put an infant down on a playmat or in the crib, the infant will go right to the sims feet and the infant follows the sims everywhere when my sims put the infant in the crib or on the playmat. I don't like getting the playmat or the cribs because I don't like when I can't put the infant in the crib or on the playmat and they won't stay there. I pretty much put the infants on the floor when they need to sleep or when they play.
What do you expect to see? I want to be able to find everything in build/buy mode without clicking on the wrong thing. With the infants, I want to be able to put them in the cribs or on the playmat without them going right to my sims feet. I want them to stay in the crib or on the playmat when my sims put them down.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
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 the latest update is when I started having trouble with the build/buy mode when I never had any problem before the update. I didn't have problems with the infants right away when the infants update came out, but the problem with the infants I have been having problems with for awhile now. I didn't report about the infants problem right away because I thought other players were having the same problem and reported it.

Hey @Bareskinz,

This looks like an issue with the TOOL mod- please remove all mods completely by deleting the files from your mods folder. After you've done that, you'll want to delete the localthumbcache.package as well.

I can't see Chestnut ridge. I just get a white screen. i've tried adjusting the graphics, making screen smaller etc. I have tried creating a new sim ( I have all the new stuff, i just cant get on to to map to the world ), i have tried traveling to the new world, moving a family to the new world.
I have taken out all mods and CC, Repaired the sims on EA app. The graphics on my laptop says it meets the requirments.
