In-game Color UI Glitch

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Dutch
How often does the bug occur? Only when I use mods
What is your current game version number? 1.67.45.1520
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? After clicking on a stove, choose a different outfit to wear, selecting a household to play with (it pops up when one of the Sims is not at home), etc.
What happens when the bug occurs? The UI gives a blue with purple icon while there should be one of my Sims and the screen is moved (see screenshot 'Sims 4 In-game Color Glitch'). In the pack Journey to Batuu, when I speak to a Resistance person with the words 'Ignite the spark', the blue and purple icon appears wich won't go away, My entire screen is glitched. I can't even exit the game properly. When the game is restarted, the screen isn't frozen anymore, but the same issue comes when I speak with the Resistance again (again with 'Ignite the spark' sentence). When the UI pops up, I can't exit it. It's frozen entirely...
What do you expect to see? Just a normal screen and not the glitch (see screenshot 'Sims 4 In-game Color Glitch SOLVED')
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but it's solved when I use no mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

It happened after the new pack release 'Journey to Batuu'. I found out that the glitch shows up when I use mods and that it's gone when I use no mods (CAS CC and lot CC are not involved, it works fine when the glitch doesn't appear).

Anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it? I really want to use mods without having this annoying glitch.

Any help to fix it would be welcome.

  • @LilyRobloxLol123  The issue is most likely the UI Cheats mod.  Try removing just that one, and deleting localthumbcache.package as well.

    The new patch is about to be released though, so many of your other mods may break as well.

  • I indeed use the UI Cheats Extension Mod, and removing it from the folder did solve the problem (including removing localthumbcache.package)

    Thank you so much!!!! The internet and YouTube didn't help me at all. But you saved my game!
