    I didn't download any weird mods/cc and I haven't downloaded UI mods and stuff like that.

    First it was my CAS UI not showing up, and now this.

    I can't click anything at all, I still need to turn it off via task manager, I doubt anyone else is having this problem and if you are and you somehow fixed it, tell me how.

    I'm also having this issue, tried to update mods, remove possible broken mods, remove my mods folder then re add it, un-install my game etc. Nothing will work and I'm not sure what to do tbh.

    Hi, I had a similar problem and for me it was the more traits mod by thepancake1. I just disabled it and it seems to be fine.

    As with any other update, specially if it touches the UI such as this one (due to pack disabler and a new category for skin details in CAS, I think), any mod that modifies or overrides UI related resources is bound to break and needs to be updated. This is the 101 of script and UI mods. 
    Your error is very likely caused by a UI mod, namely: UI extension cheats, more columns in case, more traits in case, MCC, better build buy, etc. You will need to monitor the broken mods page (this is the old one, new one does not seem to be live yet) and/or try to find the culprit(s) using the 50/50 method.

    loaded up the game after todays update and when first launched i got the "mods disabled after update you can enable again in the options menu" or something of that sort so i enabled them and i got the "game needs to be relaunched to apply these changes" and once i relaunched i got stuck with a bugged out main menu where nothing is selectable and its stuck with a black and blue screen where all the buttons and text are glitched , not even the options menu is selectable so that i can go back and turn off mods and i have tried deleting mods people have said are causing similar issues, deleting my entire mods folder, and following numerous pieces of advice from forums and other people having the same issues, repairing the game and (obviously) relaunching the game numerous times and nothing seems to be a fix yet

    Since you reactived your mods after the update. It sounds like you have the simatically menu mod. It was broken for me too but removing it made the menu usable again, remove it from your game and wait for them to update the mod.

    I just updated the game then the screen was ok before I enabled custom mods.  I clicked the readable texts but didn't worked. I also restarted my mac but didn't also helped. Any idea on how to fix this?

    A month or so ago,  my documents file had permanently moved to OneDrive.  I had stopped using it until I found a solution to get them all moved back. I lollygagged to say the least. So when the black screen started on my game, I followed the directions on moving mods and CC. It kept NOT working. I woke up with an epiphany this morning. I have not synced my OneDrive after deleting the cache and moving the mods folder. I did so and repaired the game. IT WORKED!

    So if you have all your game files running off your OneDrive, as I do, try it. 1- Move mods CC files 2- Delete cache files 3- Sync OneDrive 4- Repair game.

    I hope it works for you. GL all.

    Ever since the new update I can't play. I have mods and CC but everything was fine before the update. Now when it opens it opens to a blank black page with broken widgets. I've tried updating some mods and I've removed some mods, but honestly I have too many mods to be able to remove them all group by group. Has anyone fixed this yet? Or experiencing the same issue? I can't even play, and if i remove all my mods, whats the point in even playing?... My entire world is modded... I don't use game mods, just build and cas. Help! I really want to play... :(

    did you able to fix yours? I fixed mine. I made a separate copy of the mods folder, deleted the 2024-present mods. Then slowly copying it by batch to the ea mods folder to see which mods are doing the error.
