My Sims 4 is broken

I cant play my game and haven't been able to since the last up date. my game started lagging and then it wouldn't load . I uninstalled it and then redownloaded it again to find that the scenario button was missing and when i went into cas the traits bar was missing. i turned back to direct x 9 and the scenario button came back but not the traits bar. I have completely removed all my sims games and EA app from my pc and downloaded it all again as if new and I still don't have a scenario button or a traits bar I've noticed things going missing from my game for sometime now. I have a lot of boxes with a red cross in when I have tried to use debug and have had pop ups saying item's have been removed. I don't use mods or cc so i know its not because of that. I have spent a lot of time and money on the sims ,I have every pack to date .My pc is up to date and I would really appreciate a way to fix this. I have been playing the sims for the past 25 years and want to be able to play for the next 25 years.

  • cherrypie70  Please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and have a look around.  Let me know which problems are still present.
