pop-up windows in my game

I'm experiencing an annoying problem where every time I open the game, it acts as though I'd started a new game even though I load a save and continue from where I left off.

Example: The first time I open my world map I get asked to place Chez Llama. Even though I have done that, the next time I load the save, I get asked again.

I've repaired the game, completed cleaned Sims 4 and Origin from my Mac and reloaded and I'm still getting the problem. Any ideas?
