I'm having the same issue. I took out all mods and cc, did a game repair, and it didn't make a difference. Once I exit build mode, I can't click on anything and have to use task manager to shut down the game. Edit: Forgot to mention that I also cleared the cache.
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.
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.
I am having the exact same issue, updated the game, played it without any mods with a new sims in preperation for eco living. once i go into buy mode i can do everything but when i exit, the live mod icon dissapears, the hud dissapears. i can click on things but nothing pops up. my sim got an invitation through the phone, i accepted this in the hopes of forcing a loading screen but nothing happened. what happened to break the game this badly o.o
also noticed several weird glitches in san myshuno and the repurtain menu. added a screenshot of san myshuno
