my sims game has gone off the rails!!
Hi, this is my first time posting one of these things so idk if I'm posting it in the right place but I need help!
My sims game has completely broken. It started with the moodlets turning pale blue and there were no bluffs, just plain blue squares. The color behind your sim icon was gray, like when there mood is fine or bored , but it didn't say that. The sims weren't even showing up on the icon. This was annoying but I found a temporary solution by going in and out of manage worlds. Over the past day, though, things have escalated out of control and the game is borderline unplayable. EVERY SINGLE TIME I go into CAS or build/buy mode, take a picture with my sim's camera, and any sort of mode that isn't live mode I'm always met with the same thing. It's like when you click tab, and your sim's icon and bluffs and everything else disappears, but there is still the top buttons on the corner of the right side of my screen. The problem is that while I can move my mouse, I cannot click on anything. The only button that works is manage worlds, so ideally I can just save using manage worlds, right? NO. First off, half the time the manage worlds button is literally missing. It's the only button that works and the only one that vanishes. And when it is there, and I do click "Save and manage worlds" the screen turns black except for my sims thought bubbles popping up in a black abyss and I have to force shutdown. That is always best case scenario, however, because at least I can save my game. Most of the time manage worlds isn't there and I have to force shutdown without saving.
I do own CC and mods but I've deleted all the outdated/broken ones as far as I know. I have deleted localthumbecache and repaired the game using the EA more times than I can count. I saw someone on a previous forum state that deleting every folder that says 'cache' is what to do, but that was a completely different situation. No one else has this problem as far as I can tell, I've been trying to fix it all day. If anyone has any sort of advice at all, I would greatly appreciate it because I'm absolutely terrified my sims is broken forever. I would like to apologize if this comes off as rambling but like I said I've never posted on any sort of forum before. Thank you!
