Can't Save or Go into Building Mode because "Taking Photos?"

I'll be playing the Sims 4 and everything will be running smoothly and then suddenly, the option to build will be grayed out. I hovered my mouse over it and it says that it can't enter build mode because it's taking photos. I try to save the game and it says that it can't do that either because it's taking photos. I exited the game without saving and repaired the game but it's still happening. Is there any way to avoid this "taking photos" mode or to exit it?

  • Did you actively take a photo ? Have you tried pressing the ESC key ?

  • I'm don't know why it does this, but I had this problem too, and you have to got to "Game Options" and in the corner you have to "Restore Defaults". Hope this works!

    Sorry for necro, but FYI if anyone else runs across this like I just did.  Didn't work for me.
