Inventory items not appearing and no water or fire particles

I have two glitches that started happening around the same time.

Firstly, items in my Sims' inventory don't appear at all. This glitch also happens with storage items. This is particularly annoying for me because I want one of my Sims to be a gardener, but I can't access the seeds in their inventory.

Secondly, fire and flowing water won't appear. I first noticed this when a Sim was trying to cook but set the stove on fire. There was smoke and my Sims were certainly reacting to fire, but the fire was not visible and there was no sound. I then noticed that no water was flowing from sinks or the shower. My sims were able to clean themselves and the dishes just fine, but there were no visuals or audio of water that should have been there.

Help, pls?

    I tried that, and it didn't work.

    I then tried again, this time, not only launching the game after factory resetting it without any of my previous data, but also actually playing the game. I made a Sim take a shower, and no water appeared. I then bought seeds and made him put them in his inventory, but they didn't appear when I tried to access it.

    The solution was stupidly simple; I repaired the game using the "repair game" function in Origin. I'm sure this won't be the last time someone has a problem like this, so at least someone will be able to find this simple solution when they Google the problem.
