Re: Sims 4 bug/glitch

Hi @MissKhy,

Are you currently using any mods/CC?

If so, please try moving your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Once you've done that, test the game.
If it works normally, check for updates to your mods/CC. You can then add them back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    @EA_Solaire Will that help? Also my child sim does the same glitch, she glitches when I try to make her do her homework.

    @MissKhy 

    Mods/CC can become outdated or corrupt and can cause some strange in-game issues like what you're seeing- when you run into issues like this, we ask that you test without any mods/CC so we can determine if the issue is being caused by mods or not. 

    To check for updates on these, you'll need to check with the creator of these particular mods/CC.

    @MissKhy 

    The 50/50 method is the best way to locate any broken mods/CC.

    Here's how to use the 50/50 method:

    1. Move all the mods and CC out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
    2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
    3. Delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help remove any traces of the mods or CC that were installed.
    4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.

    While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.

    @MissKhy 

    Glad to hear you can access your DLC again!

    This issue you're seeing is again related to outdated or corrupt mods- please follow the steps I've listed out previously to check your mods/CC. If you use the UI Cheats mod, it's most likely an issue with that one in particular. We do have a master thread on UI glitching issues that you can reference here
