Sims 4: Stuck on dim screen from changing toddler/infants clothes

I wanted to change my toddlers outfit so I clicked on the changing table and I had to choose between my toddler or infant. When I clicked the toddler the menu went away but the dim screen froze as if the outfit selector was going to pop up but it didn’t. I tried clicking around to get it to go away but nothing. I thought I was gonna need to force close the game but luckily it gave me the option to save. Does anybody know if this is a glitch? I don’t have any mods that I feel would effect this but I guess it’s still possible.

  • @aubdal16 CC &/or Mods that are in the game, and sometimes that have been removed but have left cache in the game, can affect your game in ways that may or may not make sense. Including Mods/CC that seem to have no logical connection to the issue. Even installing the latest version of a Mod/CC does not guarantee that there is not a conflict that's affecting the game due to a more recent game update or due to a Mod/CC update that did not fully address issues. 

    Maybe you could wait to see if the issue happens again, or if it was a one-time glitch. If it's re-occurring, you can try testing the Mods/CC, and take out the cache file. (Directions in spoiler tag.):

    Exit the game. Move the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can then test without saving – or in a new vanilla game save – in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue. Then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.
