Build Mode wont Work

Every time I go into build mode Sims wont let me use anything. None of the build mode options appear, then when I switch back to live mode most things do not appear, and the things thst do appear do not respond. Even leaving the game does not work, I have to go into task manager in order to close my game every time. It happens if it's a new game or an older one I have, and I have asked friends if they have had this issue before and no one I have talked to has. I do use mods but I already tried with out the mods and I had the same issue. I also already tried deleting and reinstalling the game and that did not change anything. I have been having this issue for awhile already and the game has been through a couple updates but nothing has changed. I was hoping someone would have something that they could suggest to fix it.

    If that doesn't or didn't help, please look for a lastUIexception file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  I'd only like a new one, generated without mods or custom content.  If you find one, open the file and delete the first line of text, then attach it to a reply here.  Alternately, you can copy the text and paste it into a reply, but doing so sometimes causes this site's spam filter to flag the post.

    Please also provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
