Action Options Won't Pop Up? TS4

Okay, so, I created my sim. I chose a house. I moved in the house. Everything was well. The loading screen music played, and it showed my sim in front of their house. This is where the problem begins. I clicked on the door to come inside. It made the noise (the noise where you click an object) but no options popped up. So, I clicked on my sim. Again, it made that noise, but no options popped up. Nothing lights up either. It just makes that noise when I click it, nothing else happens. I'm so confused. Why is this happening / how can I fix it?*

*I have tried changing my text size to 125%, repairing it, and deleting mods I thought caused the problem.

I just need help! I hope you guys have a solution!

    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.

    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)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • 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.

    I get text bubbles like when they're hungry or something, but that's all they do basically. I can't click on anything, nothing lights up, i can't even make them walk. I just watch them stand and complain about hunger all day lol.
