Re: HELP! sims 4 build & buy mode glitch

Have you tried repairing the game through Origin (right click on the base game) ?

  • I'm having the same problem as the person who started this and I have tried to repair the game but it is still the same. I am going to try to turn off script mods.

    All script mods need to be updated. If you have some that are not updated yet you must remove them and wait for the author to update it.

  • How can I see which script mods need to be updated? I already updated the game with script mods and I am having the same dilemma

    You need to check your scripts mods one by one.
    Move the mods folder to the desktop.
    Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game, also delete all folders with the word "cache" in the name - important!
    Fix the game in Origin.
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder and check if a game is working now without mods and CC.
    Check if there are new updated versions of the mods you are using.
    Then copy from desktop your mods paste it in the new mods folder one by one every time checking if the game is OK. If you are sure your CC are up to date you don't need to check them in this way.

    You can delete it - the game will recreate all deleted items as soon as you turn it on but without saved errors

    Log in on your Origin account. Click Origin icon on the desktop. When Origin will open, choose My games library and TS4 will show up
  • @crinrict Hi, if you see this my game is doing the same thing but repairing it didn't work. Nor did uninstalling and restarting my computer. Should I just go to EA?

    Hi @elliewoo14,

    The advise in here might not be the most relevant as it's a older thread. Please open a new thread and include any additional information that may help, like: do you have mods installed and what troubleshooting you've tried so far, etc.

    I'll close this in the meantime.
