Re: HELP!! Sims 4 control panel has disappeared. No live, build/buy mode

Did you add any mods to your game yet ?

If not, try repairing the game through Origin

    After creating the Sim, did you click on the check mark to place them in the world ?

    And this is for the full game and not just the Sims CAS demo, right ?

    @ShinePlays7   This is a player help player forum, and all the advises should be understood as non official. You don't have to do anything. 🙂

    But if you use mods and CC, and you get problems in game after a patch, the common reason are that the third party content is not updated; yet. So if you want your game to work the advise is to remove your mods and CC, delete the localthumbcache.package in The Sims 4 folder, possibly do a Repair in Origin, and see if the problem is solved. If it is, then check for updates on the creator's pages. If it isn't, create your own thread and describe your problem in detail, and someone will try to help. 🙂

    @ShinePlays7  Try deleting or updating the UI cheats mod first, since it's by far the most common cause of this particular issue after the most recent patch.  And delete localthumbcache.package as well.
