Yes, this is known to be caused by an outdated version of TOOL and there is an update available.
I don't use TOOL or anything by TwistedMexi, but I'm having the same issue as Majestictarot. Exactly the same issue. Initially it was just the word 'text' under two of the icons on the home screen, but now, after updating the game, it's become much worse. I can't even modify settings.
I've tried updating the larger mods I use (WW, MCCC, anything by Sacrificial), but it still isn't working. I would manually go through everything, but it's going to take a while. I'll still probably try, but in the mean time, does anyone know of a way to find out exactly which mod is causing the issues?
Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
Nevermind, I just fixed it. I had missed one of Sacrificial's mods, and there was an update available for thepancake1's Color Sliders mod. After updating those, things are working as they should be.
How about this glitch: I was in the middle of a build today when a notification appeared that said that a download was complete and that I needed to restart. I continue for a little while then saved and exited. I then restarted and immediately I knew something was wrong as the lag was horrible. Within 5 minutes, the game crashed. I removed the mods folder and went back in resigned to not build with CC today and to use just Maxis. I began a new build. Everything was fine for about 1.5 hours when it began to lag again then crash. I have cleared the localthumbcache.package as well.
Any suggestion as to what else I can do?
@crinrict Yes, I tried without any cc/mods to see if it would do the same thing and it did. Anytime there is an update or a download of any kind to my game, something goes wrong. Just some examples: I downloaded the new kit (the one with the plants) and my game started crashing. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled twice, removed cc/mods, tray, saves and nothing seemed to help. I stopped playing/building for a couple of weeks and tried again and everything was fine until this SDX download. Before that every update would result in not being able to enable mods/cc in the game. Again nothing worked. I stopped playing for weeks or months and it would fix itself. I'm guessing that's what I will have to do every time there is an SDX drop. Bummer.
