@Maximum0Dinosaur @samashmilligan94 Hello! I'm not sure but it sounds like these issues are probably related to broken mods in your game. Do either of you use mods? With the latest updates, a number of mods broke. Among them were build buy mods like BetterBuildBuy and TOOL. If you have any mods, you should first check with the creators to make sure you have the most recent versions because many mods were updated to be compatible with the recent update. You'll have to save your game and exit in order to replace old versions with new ones. Hopefully you won't lose any progress but even if you do, you won't be able to progress further without making sure those mods are updated.
Thanks so much, but I have over 10 thousand peices of CC and I don't know where to start. I also forgot to mention I didn't have this problem with any other lot type other than the veterinary office, and I could edit the vet office before. I don't know where to start looking in my mods. I'm hoping it was a one time glitch. I went in again today and it let me edit the vet fine. Thanks for your time, I'll tell you if the problem appears again.
@Maximum0Dinosaur Whoa! That's a lot of CC! 🙂 I'm glad you were able to get back into your game and yes, hopefully it was just some random glitch. For future reference, I don't think CC is going to cause the issue that you mentioned in your original post. If it happens again and simply restarting the game doesn't work, I would start by testing your game without any mods or CC. If the game works without them, then move to testing mods only. You could create desktop folders, moving mods to one folder and CC to the other. Then you could test your game with mods only and then test with CC only. For both mods and CC, you can then test using the 50/50 method like so...
1. Divide your mods/CC in half (maybe make another folder on your desktop to hold the half you're taking out).
2. Before opening the game with the half you're testing, delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder
3. If the game works with that half, test with the other half. (Again, delete that cache file before opening)
4. Once you know which half is causing the issue, divide those in half and test again (delete the cache file again).
5. Repeat the process until you find the culprit.
Again, I think BuildBuy issues are likely caused by mods, so start with those first. If they're not the culprit, you may need to test the CC and with so many it might take quite a while.
