@corndolphins @meganmcevillyy and @Rheandor  Please remove the Better Build/Buy mod, if you have it, and delete localthumbcache.package as well.

If that doesn't help, or you don't have the mod, please move your entire Mods folder to your desktop, delete localthumbcache (again), and test.

I have done this and it still won't work. My game only works with mods disabled. I've tried removing each single mod and cc that I've had just to see if it was a single problem and none of that has worked. When I go to bb mode to get a counter for an example all the the places where it showed the different types of ways the counters can go is all messed up as well. Is there any other options I could try?

    @bigpuppydogeyes  If you move your Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package, is the problem still present?  If it's gone, what happens when you add back a single mod?

      The problem still is present after I tried your method. As I put all my mods and cc back one by one it still would not let me use the bb mode. I trying for every last option before I remove everything and Reinstall.

        @bigpuppydogeyes  Just checking, but after moving the entire Mods folder to the desktop and deleting localthumbcache, was the problem still present before you added back any mods?  Did you see any evidence that your mods were still present in your game?  It's possible the game is reading a different user folder than the one from which you removed your mods, in which case we need to find that folder.

        If you are in fact looking at the correct folder, try moving it, as in, the entire Sims 4 folder, to the desktop.  Repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  Then launch the game; a clean Sims 4 folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it until you've tested.
