CAS Columns Glitching At Top

When I'm in CAS, the columns glitch out at the top of the screen over where you'd switch outfit categories. It occurs with no mods in the game, and it does not matter how I access CAS (new game, plan outfit, modify in cas, etc.)

This has been going on for a while and I've updated my game several times with no fix.

  • @MacyElizabeth514  Does this happen in both fullscreen and windowed modes, in both DirectX 9 and 11 modes?  Please test all four combinations and let me know.

    If the problem is always there, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and let me know whether CAS is affected.

  • Hi! Running in DirectX 11 seemed to fix the problem! Seems like 9 only works for windowed mode, but 11 is needed for fullscreen. Thanks for the help!
