Opens build mode by itself

So every time I enter the game it automatically goes into build mode by itself! And even after I go  live mode it goes into build mode again and again. I removed all my mods and CC and it’s still hap...

HI @annette_27399 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Hi @crinrict, thank you for your response.

I did as you said, and after the game was reset I repaired it and began to put it in my saves file, opened the game and everything was fine so I decided to put the CC in the mods folder and started the game but, it opened the build mode again so I closed the game, removed the CC and opened the game again and it opened the build mode again... what do I do? Do I reset it again and put some CC open the game and put some more? like step by step? and try to see which CC is making my game break?

      @crinrict Ok what I did was reset the game again (Without any mods or CC) I opened the game, created a new family and it opened the build mode again... So I repaired the game (took a very long time and Origin was very laggy). After I repaired the game I opened it and it went into build mode again... without any mods or CC!
