This is what it looks like:
This same thing happens to me very occasionally with what seems to be random menus. It happened to me when I tried to buy something from a vending machine in mt komerebi and it also happened when I tried to open the fabrication menu. I do use cc (no mods only cc) but it has never caused me any issues before.

I started a brand new game for the Toddlers challenge, mods disabled.
It happens to me very regularly (onece or twice every Sim day) on a toddler chair food selection menu.

Hi @Xarienne
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.
