My Cheats Window Will Not Close

Whenever I open the cheats window, I can type in cheats and they work fine. I went to turn bb.moveobjects on, and when I went to close the cheats window, it didn't fully close. CTRL-Shift-C opens it and also closes the typing window but doesn't remove the window completely, and I'm unable to play my game; closing the window with the ESC key is the same. I can't open the options menu or click anything in-game, but I can still save and close with the buttons at the top right from Windows, not the in-game ones. This did not happen before the most recent update. I'm not sure if its CC or not, but I'm hoping not. I'd rather not spend time weeding out 4,000+ pieces of custom content. All my CC worked fine together before the newest update as well. My game is running on a Windows 10 64 bit PC (if you need more details on my specs just ask me and I can get them for you :]). I've tried restarting my game with no luck; it still happens every time.

sorry if this is formatted wrong or something, im new here and im just looking for a quick fix

Here is what happens after I attempt to close the cheats window.

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

    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    I can disable the mods and test them out. I have too many pieces of CC to find all the bad ones manually, so I suppose if the cheats window works without them then I'm screwed, haha

    I'm also weary of disabling mods and CC. I'm afraid it would break my save files since i use little to no maxis/base game objects. I spent a while on my current save game and would hate to lose it.
