PLEASE HELP ☹️
It sounds like you’re dealing with a known issue that can sometimes happen after updates or when mods are installed in The Sims 4. Here are a few steps to help you troubleshoot this:
Repair the Game through Origin (or EA App):
- Open Origin or the EA App, find The Sims 4 in your library, right-click (or click the three dots on the EA App) and select "Repair." This will check the game files for issues and replace any corrupted ones.
Delete the Cache Files:
- Go to the Sims 4 folder in your Documents (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4) and delete the localthumbcache.package file. This helps clear out any cached data that might be causing issues.
Disable Mods and Custom Content:
- If you’re using mods, try disabling them temporarily to see if the game runs correctly without them. To do this, move the Mods folder out of the Sims 4 directory. Then restart the game to see if the panels work.
Update or Reinstall Mods/CC:
- If the game works without mods, some mods or custom content may need updating. After a big update, it’s common for mods to need updates to stay compatible with the game.
Check for Additional Updates:
- Sometimes, EA releases a patch shortly after a big update to fix bugs. Make sure your game is fully up to date.
Run as Administrator:
- Right-click the Sims 4 icon and choose "Run as Administrator." This can sometimes help fix issues with game permissions.
Reinstall the Game if Needed:
- If all else fails, consider a full reinstall. Be sure to back up your saves and mods before uninstalling.
