    @Kitkatt621 Have you tried repairing your game in Origin? The vendors all sell the appropriate items in my game, I'm playing in a mod/cc free save (i.e. I moved my mod folder to my desktop vs just disabling mods in the game options) to test the new pack, but I also repaired the game after I installed it. 

    Best regards,
    Jennifer

    Hi @Kitkatt621 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I’m having the same issue, but doing this isn’t working.

    Hi there! I had this exact same issue, and after hours of messing with my mods I narrowed it down to the following:

    Custom content food stalls will break your save file, even if you remove your mods after. If you have loaded the game with the custom food stalls and have since saved with that CC still in your game, the save file remains broken forever.

    What I did to fix it:

    1. Delete any CC food stalls from your mods folder
    2. Delete localthumbcache.package from your Sims 4 installation folder
    3. Open the game, and recover/revert your save file to the last time you saved since before installing the the My Wedding Stories pack***. You can do this in the "Load Game..." menu by clicking on the small icon with the round arrow on your save.
    4. Load that save, and the stalls should now be working.

    ***side note: I had not played my game since before the MWS patches, so I cannot say whether reverting back to after the patches but before MWS is enough. You might have to revert even further to before the patches.

    I hope you won't lose too much playtime by reverting your saves. Sadly I did not find a way to fix saves that had already been opened and saved again with the broken CC + new game pack installed. Hope this helps! 🙂

    I merged some threads into an older one on the issue.

    Pretty sure it's mod related. Going to mark hubosa post as solution for now but please let me know if you either never had mods, are on console and have this issue or the workaround doesn't work.

  • Thank you so much I'm gonna try this right now, fingers crossed!

  • 👍 This solved it! I had a cc food stall in my game that totally broke the food stalls in Tartosa. Unfortunately to have to make a whole new save but at least it works now, thank you so much!! 

  • Hi, I have tried the solutions suggested in this thread but it only fixes my problem temporarily. I have no mods related to food stalls in my game. I did the 50/50 method, seemed to find the culprit (no idea what it was), and when I eventually put ALL of my mods back into the game, it still worked. Then, literally 10 minutes later, it stopped working again in the same game session. I have absolutely no clue what is causing this, but it seems as soon as there are CC or mods in my game, the food stalls and cake shop in Tartosa etc. simply stop working. 

  • To anyone reading in the future:

    Custom content stalls are indeed the issue. I actually had a mod that allowed you to tend food stands, which added custom interactions to EA food stands.

    Upon removing this mod and starting a new save (I did not need to remove localthumbcache), the issue is gone.

    I recently noticed this bug in my game. It is definitely custom content food stalls that are the issue. After exhaustive testing (for reference I have 75.3gb of mods and cc in my game :D) I found the cause for me was Felix Andre's Crepes Stall from the Paris Set Part 2. I think a lot of people who use build/buy cc have this, so hopefully this helps someone.

    I have no idea if it has been updated or not and I'm aware that many cc creators do not actually play the game thus have no idea if their items break things so catastrophically unless someone notifies them.

    Removing that one item fixes it for me and my save does not appear to be corrupted, it works fine without it so far.

    @xDollparts That was hell of a find and it's totally this file that was causing the glithc. Thank you for sharing with the community, you spared me hours of testing and pulling the hair of my head while doing it.
