Hi,

When I go into Build Mode and select on any item I want to buy in the catalogue, such as furniture, it does not do anything. Normally, it should be grabbing the item and allowing me to place the item somewhere in the household, however, no item appears when I click onto the item picture in Build Mode.

I tested other functions of Build Mode, such as building a wall, and that is fine but when trying to buy items for the household, it does not do anything.

Also on the bottom left of the screen, usually it shows the money amount. However, the money amount does not show when in Build Mode and only shows when I come out of Build Mode.

I have updated all of my mods, so I am not sure what the issue could be? I also have updated my Sims 4 and it is the latest patch.

(I do not have TwistedMexi's Better BuildBuy Mod)

I have attached a video to show the bugs:

Hi, @Aidenguy00 Most likely, a mod is broken, that interferes with the UI, many mods have updated, so it's still a matter of culling or a 50/50 to find the culprit mod.

Spoiler

Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the 50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it

Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,

Simsonic Weebly Mod Tracker has a list for people who use mods/cc; and updates on which ones are broken or now updated

Also the EA Forums do a regular post for broken mods / cc, & maintained by LuthienRising.

I also use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes, as it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac. And is updated frequently, with pack relevant bug fixes.

Mods and CC require maintenance to keep them in your game, if the modder has not updated it after a game patch/update it may be broken (you can check via the mod tracker for reported broken, etc mods). The process of culling & removing it, to find the broken mod is the only option though, you'll find it won't be 'all of them' but a few or even just 'one'..

After every patch or game update, this is a necessary process, to add your mods back to your game, folder by folder and starting it each time to test to see if it's ok to play. (nb: you should keep them separated for ease of checking, btw)

Also, if you are new to using cc/mods please check my post here on maintaining your game. as there are many tips, including the 50/50 method and tools to help you fix your game and how to find the broken mod.
