Re: [MOD RELATED] Icons are blank squares/ UI Glitching

Good evening,

I just updated my game, updated my major mods, and I noticed that I have this ridiculous green bar. At first, I thought it was the Columns mod, so I removed them completely from my folder, but that is not the culprit. Any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm a little puzzled as to what could be causing this from my Mods since I took my time and updated every last Mod that required an update (I haven't played my game since November 14th 2020).

Thank you!

Anthony

@TonyTiger09 Try removing any mod that affects the user interface, e.g. the UI Cheats mod. Delete localthumbcache.package as well.

If that doesn't help, use the 50/50 method to sort through your mods:

Be sure to test once with no mods at all, just to be thorough.

Thank you!
I read into the UI Cheats Mod, which I actually do not have installed in my game at all. I will try the first method of deleting the localthumbcache.package and then work my way into the 50/50 method to sort through my mods and figure out which mod is affecting the user interface!

@puzzlezaddict So after doing this method (I have a separate Mods folder for each of my biggest mods), I actually ended up finding the culprit that needed to be updated. It ended up being my the Xhallie Custom Wrench Icon that I use to help me identify custom content versus EA content in my games, such as in CAS. That mod was updated and I completely overlooked it.
Thank you again for your help!

@TonyTiger09 Thank you, I've had this problem after the recent patch and the problem was exactly with the custom wrench icon. So after reading this post I removed it and everything is okay now.

Thank you once again, happy simming! 🙂

I have tried everything to fix this problem, including all your suggestions and nothing seems to be getting fixed. Any other suggestions you might have?

@itk77bdgn7ce Did you remove all your mods and delete localthumbcache as well? If not, please do so now.
