Multiple Issues

I'll first start by saying I have no mods, or CC of any kind. Only EA content.

Since adding the newest XP and the recent patch, I can't play the game at all.

When logging in, if I create a new household I cannot edit them in any way. I can zoom in, change their traits, name, etc but the sim itself cannot be changed unless I click the dice and create a random sim. I thought maybe it's just a patch issue, no big deal I'll go resume my older game. When I log into the older game I cannot interact with anything. I can't click on objects to tell my sim what to do, I can't click on the sim itself, literally nothing. Then if I enter build mode and try to place a chair, not only can I not see it, if I try to place it on a space within the lot it gives me the "can't place object outside lot boundary" error. On occasion if I click again somewhere the screen goes black.

I have repaired the game, uninstalled and reinstalled, tried an alt mouse, uninstalled and reinstalled again without the most recent XP. Unfortunately nothing has worked. I've also tinkered with internal settings thinking it could be due to my other monitors  but nada. 

If anyone has any ideas? I have been one of the lucky ones to not really experience any issues in my game till now, seems so freaking weird.

Should add, I play other games as well and there aren't any issues there. This is 100% localized to Sims4.

TIA
