Icons and Missing Relationships

So if you look at the bottom icons for the different menus, they are all in the wrong order. Also when looking in my relationship area the sims show no one in their relationships like a spouse, kids, etc. I have been dealing with this since the latest release and I was hoping that possibly I wasn't the only one. I even took out my mods and it's still there so I am not sure what all is going on. Thanks.

    Wow I'm so relieved to see this post, I'm having the same issue.

    All my friends just show up as name, picture and list of traits. It no longer says "friend" "sister" etc. No mods, I've reinstalled the game and started a new save.

    Hello,

    Thank you for replying! I took out all of my mods and cc and restarted the game but I am still having the issues. I am more than okay with waiting till things get fixed since I understand new updates can mess things up! Thank you for taking the time for responding!

    @Kentutman2000 and @Meagan_Kayla 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

  • Hi there! I ended up getting so frustrated about the icons being all messed up despite non of my mods being the problem since I troubleshooted everything! But after their newest patch and me having deleted ALL of my mods and cc it finally worked! Now I am slowly reintroducing mods back and checking! I hope things get fixed for everyone else!
