Sim unplayable?

Question

I just create a new sim and just got done making her new house. I moved her in, and I first had an issue where I couldn't purchase anything from the buy menu because I had insufficient funds even though I had 18k. So I exited to the main menu and went back to my game. I get to the house she is in and it says I have a sim there but I cannot click on her or play her. Her face doesn't show up, theres no option to do anything except build or visit. Build does nothing, and visit will allow me to see my sim I created but it's greyed out and I cant do anything. Please help! I have mods but they're mainly for CAS.

Hi&nbsp;@MizMeowGi&nbsp;It is still more than likely your cc, mods.. as it is a known issue when using them. Even if 'just for CAS', with the new sliders etc.. many are broken over time.Please remove all your cc/mods, delete your localthumbcache file, then add them back a folder at a time.. to find which is broken, play the game with each folder added back (each time, you also need to delete you localthumbcache file.Spoiler (Highlight to read)The culprit will likely be found via the culling method, using a 'fixing type of new' game will help that a lot, by not 'stripping the cc off your sims'.. (if needed)&nbsp;More tips at my post hereApart from culling your folders one by one, or the&nbsp; 50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, as you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it..
