  • what mods do you have? if you have T.O.O.L., i recommend updating it to the latest version and deleting the localthumbcache.package file from your sims 4 folder

  • I had the same issue BUT I missed the twisted mexi MODs I had. They seemed to be the issue do to 50/50 again. Hope your problem will be fixed soon or this can help somehow

  • @Mizu3  Please test with zero mods at all—as in, move the Mods folder to the desktop—and delete localthumbcache.package as well.  If the problem is gone, you can start adding back your mods and testing.

    @puzzlezaddict Yes, that was what I did the first round. Then it was good but without adding new mods the problem accured again. That's why I tripple checked it after the problem came up again
  • @Mizu3  Please make sure there are still no mods present in your game.  If you use a cloud storage service, e.g. OneDrive for Windows or iCloud for macOS, that service can sync your Sims 4 user folder and then redownload any missing files for you, including mods you might have deleted.

    If you're sure there are no mods present and you see the same glitches, try switching between fullscreen and windowed modes.
