Moodlet icons are blue squares

Hi, so I have mods in my game, which are all up to date. I started playing and eventually the moodlet icons started doing something weird. They would should up and just be blue icons and not show any pictures of words, when I would hover over it with my mouse it would just be a blank blob. 

I have CC as well. Usually when I start up my game it is fine it’s usually after 20 minutes or so that it started turning then blue and all of my other icons won’t work either.

    @Abigailnicole76 You can start at Broken/Updated Mods & CC to find mods to update. Some might have been updated to make their custom icons compatible with DX11. You can also try a Sims 4 Studio batch fix, but I don't know if this batch fix does mod icons or only wallpapers; do remove any default replacement CC temporarily when you do this. Apart from that, instructions for Mods folder testing are in How to Use Mods and CC

  • @Abigailnicole76 Please do a "vanilla" test: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    Whenever I first load up the game it’s fine, it’s after that I have been playing for awhile that it starts doing the blue icons, and if I enter build mode it makes the game unplayable, I can’t save/exit, my sims picture disappears, and everything on the bottom like the panels are also gone.

    So I did that, and I also unlinked onedrive from my PC. The attachment I added is what my game was saying prior to me unlinking the onedrive. 

    but the second image is what it’s doing with the moodlet icons after clearing the cache file and adding the mods folder back in. Without the mods folder it’s normal.

    I ended up taking my mods out, I only have 6/7 of them. Turns out it’s healthcare redux and divergent by adeepindigo! And I’m not the only one having that issue after I did some searching on their patreon. So I took those two out until they fix them. Gameplay is back to normal!
