Needs Panel and more disappeared

As of last week, anytime I log into the Sims 4, my Sims have disappeared from the lower left corner. The needs panel also disappeared. I also cannot click on the gallery or exit the game (I have to restart my computer to exit). I have tried removing my mods completely, deleting the cache, deleting recent saves, and repairing add-ons through the EA app and this problem still hasn't fixed itself. A screenshot showing what the game looks like has been added.

    I followed instructions and still have the error.

    I deleted all the mods out of the Sims 4 folder again (and moved them to my desktop). I tried a brand new save. I still have this problem. I do not see any new UI exceptions this time. I included a screenshot of the Sims 4 folder for proof. The "mod" folder reappeared, but only had the Resource.cfg in it.

    These are all modded.

    Please delete all the ones you currently have, move your mods folder to the desktop again and test a new save, check for new UI exceptions.

    Then please upload them to a third party site and link instead of posting screenshots as only half of the report is visible that way.

    You can also copy/paste the content.

    • I removed my mods by fully taking it out of my Sims 4 game folder. I transferred the full folder to my desktop and started up Sims 4 without it. This did not fix my problem. 
    • I play on a PC.
    • I included the LastException/LastCrash files from the past couple weeks.
    • I did test a new save game. This did not fix the problem.
    • Yes. This happens even if I don't play a scenario. 
    •  
  • Could you please provide the following information

    • How did you remove your mods ? Did you do a folder rename ?
    • What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac)
    • Please also provide any LastException/LastCrash files in your documents folder. Upload them to either google or oneDrive and post the link here.
    • Did you test a new save game ?
    • Do you have this happening if you don't play a scenario ?
  • I don't think the photo properly uploaded to my post, but this is what my game looks like. I can't click on anything but the Sims themselves still move around (the game isn't frozen). I also cannot click on anything to the upper right. The whole screen will become black and not load if I press on "Manage Worlds".
