Celebrity Sim can't perform social interactions

Hi! I'm having an infuriating problem where my celebrity sim can't perform social interactions properly. The only options available to me are sign autograph, hug fan and take selfie, nothing else. This only occurs with sims he doesn't know already. There is no introduction interaction whatsoever. This means I can't progress in the new game pack I just bought (Realm of Magic) as I need to interact with new sims.

I have deleted the Andrew's Pose Player mod already because I thought that was the source of the problem but apparently not...

Any help would be much appreciated! 🙂

    Move the mods folder to the desktop.
    Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game, also delete all folders with the word "cache" in the name - important!
    Fix the game in Origin.
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if a game is working now without mods and CC.
    Check if there are new updated versions of the mods and CC you are using.
    Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. Paste script mods one by one every time checking if the game is OK.
    You can check CC also. although I suspect script mod. (if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    However, it may happen that your specific sim in a clean game without mods will also have this bug. The interaction will be repaired for a new celebrity but this particular sim will have a damaged file and unfortunately, it can't be repaired

    I actually found this bug to, It's seems that i can't interact with only people of realm of magic.
    I tried to start a clean new save and that didn't work ether. 

    So I tried to remove my mods and that seems to work. BUT! I rather have my mods, It might be impossible to find what mod that cause the whole thing to just stop working.

    @CoffeeBeanIRLIt is quite a task but IF you want mods AND a working game, you don't have any choice.

    You'll have to remove them little by little a few at a time and narrow it down.

    Mods break every time a patch comes out. We all have to do it every time.
