    Do you have any Mods or CC? If so move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.

  • There were three so I’m going to move all of them and see if that helps

  • That did not work sadly , is there anything else I can do? I really want to fix it

    There can not be three Mods folders or localtumbcache.package files in one location so your answer confuses me.

    No. though you may try this as well if a factory reset doesn't help.

  • Hello :3 

    If you have any UI Extension, that will affect a/many part/s of your UI, hence why the bar will not act accordingly. In case you have that, delete anything related to it and the game shall function properly ^_^. Try a Game repair (Right Click on the game in Origin > Repair) after deleting it, just to make sure. 


    This issue may also occur if you have merged some mod files with the original game files. If you've ever accepted such pop-up message, then this might be it. 

    Would you mind telling us:

     expansions owned:

     which was the last expansion you've got:


    Additionally, the firewall/antivirus might block that feature of the game, therefore make sure to have the game added to the exceptions :3.

    Let us know how it goes and what applies in your case :3. If you have any other details, screenshots that you think might help us, do attach them ^_^. 

    Have a great rest of the week! 🐱
