Options Menu Error

Can anybody help me with this issue pleasee? After updating the game, I have an error with my options menu, especially the graphics. I can't click anything on that menu. I don't know if it has any relations with mods, but I think this only happen after I update the game. And every time I click on the graphics options, I can't exit the menu and need to force exit the game. Plus, because of that, every item in the build mode in my game is gone! (2nd photo) Now how can I even build anything in the game?? Bruh, I really don't know what to do and I wanna playyy. Does anyone ever have the same issue and know how to fix it?

    There is a high probability that this behavior is related to an outdated or broken mod.  Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to most of these problems. I think you need to look at your mods to find out what is going on in your game.

    As always make a backup of your game data before you start tweaking your game to have a fallback option if you don't like the result.

    Try the following, to see whether your game works without mods:

    1. Move all your mods and CC other than MCCC somewhere safe (there's no need to delete them!) such as a folder on your desktop so you can easily find them again.
    2. Make sure to delete your localthumbcache.package file.
    3. Once done, start up your game and test to see if the error still appears.

    Your game will probably work flawless without mods. If that's the case you have to go through your mods and find the culprit. The 50/50 search might be a good method for this task to get a result in a reasonable time. Have a look at this post for directions >> AHQ Link 

    Using @luthienrising`s "Broken/Obsolete and Updated Sims 4 Mods" list here on AHQ will help you a lot >> AHQ link 

    Attention:

    All modded content will disappear from the game if you remove it, so if sims are wearing CC it will vanish while you're testing.

    Because of this it's really important that you do not save the game while testing.

    That way your CC will still be there when you bring your mods back into your game.

    Do you by chance use Tmex More Rental or MizoreYuki's Colour Slider mod? If so remove them, they could cause that specific error.

    @heyjeshab Could you do a vanilla test to confirm that mods are your issue here? Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    @Bonxie_MCCC@luthienrisingHi! so you guys are right. It turns out one of the mods I've downloaded is broken. Now, after testing my mods and cc one by one I can play the game again! Thank you so much for your help!!
