My Sims 4 Isn't Working Properly

Question

I play the Sims 4 on a Mac with the EA app. For some reason, my game made me update three times today, and ever since, nothing is working properly. For example, normally when I'd press escape, the option to exit the game, save, etc., isn't popping up. The cheat bar isn't working. Whenever I try to click manage worlds, go into build mode, or enter CAS, what should happen when I click those doesn't. The screen either turns all black or it just freezes and all I can move is the mouse. I have no other windows opened, and I've tried repairing the game a few times, but it didn't help.&nbsp;

I'm having the same issue, on mac also and all the buttons for UI are wrong and once clicked the whole thing starts to not work like the build and buy mode as well as the save/settings menu.

I don't know what's going on but I hope that it'll fix itself or that there's a solution🥲🥲 and the only way I can exit the game is by using the command to pull up force quit

@ashesfruity&nbsp;@vinesintime&nbsp;Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

will deleting the local thumb cache erase any of my progress?&nbsp;
