Broken Overview and CAS

I did the recent June 2021 update and my game as been unplayable since. I did the update yesterday and my world overview is weird. It's covered in these orange-ish brown clouds with sunlight shinning...

    @JadeOfSkyChroma  Please clear Origin's cache:

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

    and repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.

    If that doesn't help, please move your Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package, and see whether you still have the issue.  You don't need to continue playing without mods and custom content; this is just a useful test.

    By the way, the Google Drive link doesn't work: it's set to either be private or restricted to people on your pre-approved list.  You'd need to change the setting to "anyone with this link" to make it public.

    @JadeOfSkyChroma  That's good to hear, and yes, your screenshots are accessible now.

    What you can try is adding back your mods and custom content in batches, testing each time to see whether the game still works.  I'd suggest redownloading your mods at least: you can check the creators' pages to see whether they've been updated for or confirmed compatible with the latest patch.  Back up your saves before you start as well, or just the entire saves folder, so you don't need to worry about anything going wrong.
