Sims 4 Unplayable After 10/22/24 Update
So I'm able to load up my game and my households/saves just fine, but when I try and actually play, I can't; Nothing in the world is selectable - the floor, objects, sims, etc. I'm able to select items in my inventory as normal, but otherwise I can't make my sims do anything else. & I tried multiple saves and even recovered an old save to see if the issue was just on one save file, but it happened with every household I had saved before the update.
In addition, I can't place objects with build/buy anymore. I can still browse the catalogue and select items, but you can't see the item in-world after it's been selected. I can see the closed fist icon which means I'm holding a build/buy object, but the object itself isn't visible. And if I click to try and place the item, I get an error saying I can't place items outside of the current lot, even though I was trying to place something inside of the house nowhere near the edges of the lot.
I don't currently play with mods and they are disabled in my game, so I know this isn't a mod issue.
Help please?
@MotorDaffodil64 @RebeccaJeanine71 @LoriH572 @Behcaww @PersephoneEko It would be helpful to know whether switching to DirectX 9 (in the graphics settings, in the lower-right corner) helps you as well. However, you won't see the option if your game is defaulting to DX9 mode or if you've forced DX9 or 11 mode in the EA App.
Either way, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@Willowstar74 Thanks for posting what worked for you. I'd like to see a dxdiag from your system as well, to compare it to other systems with the same issue.
