CAS buttons not showing up?
So I was playing the Sims 4 before the Nov 7th 2017 patch, and all of the CAS options were there. But, when I updated the game, there wasn't any buttons/options to edit my sims. I do have mods/CC, but I left them disabled when I first entered the newly patched game and there still wasn't anything. I can change the sims name, traits, aspirations, walk style, voice, gender things, and age, I can add vampires and aliens and normal sims, and randomize them, or go to the gallery and randomize a sim from the gallery. I can go onto all of the menus, including the main menu and I can exit the game. I can click on any area of a sim and the game acts like it's opening the corresponding menu for that area, but there's nothing but an empty space with all of the other menus that I mentioned that work still there. But none of the face and body CAS options work.
The next patch won't help. You need to update your cc. If the issue is back when you put in the cc, then cc is broken. You need to find out which ones and see if the creator has updated them.
If not, remove them.
