No searching in search bar after the blue EA icon.

After the EA blue icon, my search bar in build mode with Sims 4 will not work. Either it crashes when i try to search or it brings up strange things when I type in debug. Or other items are also mixed up. I have 200 custom content items with 7 programs running with Sims 4. Doesn't matter if I keep the cc folder in the game or remove it to my desktop, I get the same result with the search bar. I have also tried to repair the game 4 times. Nothing. I also have remove the cache files several times. Should I remove the EA program and reinstall?? I have also turned off automatic updates, if this is not going to be an issue. I am at a loss for what to do next. Have tried everything.

  • Thank you for your help. After I went through these steps, I found taking out the mod folder and placing only 3 files at a time worked. Everything is back to normal for now.  I believe the issue is the Marketplace release has devastated the custom content creators. Running 7 programs for Sims 4, unfortunately couldn't even fix this issue. 😞

    cutlass76​ If renaming the Mods folder and deleting localthumbcache doesn't let you open the game -- do this again -- head to Tech Support.
