Blank text in Main Menu after updating to 1.16

I updated The Sims 4 to 1.16 and I noticed a glitch where the text on the bottom of the main menu was blank. It was similar to this bug I got when I updated The Sims 4 last May except the bug I got only affected the main menu. I think sometimes older installations might need repairing but unlike the Simmers who encounter problems after updating, I don't have Mods or CC. I do not know if this happens in the Mac version but I'm using the Windows version of the game.

Specs

  • Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
  • The Sims 4 Digital Deluxe
  • AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8 GHz
  • ATI Radeon HD 5670
  • 4 GB RAM
  • All DLCs except Romantic Garden
  • No Mods or Custom Content

If your text on the Main Menu is blank, here's how to fix it:

  1. Make sure The Sims 4 is not running, open a Origin window, and then click the My Games tab.
  2. Find The Sims 4.
  3. Right click The Sims 4 and click on Repair Game.
  4. After the game is repaired, start The Sims 4 and the text should now be properly displayed.
