Sims 4: whole floor in the house just turned black

Hi!

I was playing with a household in the sims 4 for a while (without any issues) when one of the sims went upstairs to the first floor and it suddenly turned completely black. There's no problem with the ground floor or the second floor, but when I enter the first, the whole lot just glitches. When I returned to the world, there also suddenly was a black square on the house of that household. I use some CC content and I restarted the game and my computer a couple of times but other than that I'm not very technical, so I haven't tried anything else yet. 

Anybody know what the problem could be?

Thanks!

    Hi @jewelsduh 

    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.
