Some buttons greyed out with no text
Since the patch that brought Scenarios our main menu has been missing buttons. There are probably other missing buttons or text in game too but we've spent so much time troubleshooting a few other issues (like how our newly purchased Cottage Living expansion pack breaks gardening when a bug triggers which there's already a long bug report thread on) we haven't got screenshots of any other button issues like this. The main menu one is the most noticeable though.
We've tried with no mods at all and we've tried removing the The Sims 4 folder in the documents folder to reset the game.
Since we have to play through the awful beta EA Desktop we can't repair the game, change the games language in case it's a language file problem or really do anything useful in that client to try to fix the problem.
Is there anything we can do to force the game to repair without reinstalling? I know we can move our packs out and put them back manually later since we had to do that when trying to figure out that gardening bug. Reinstalling even just the base game though will take quite a long time on our slow slow internet connection. Is there a way to force a repair a different way ? Or is there a way to fix this problem without a repair? Like maybe forcing it to redo the language files or download them manually or something like that if that's likely the problem?
I really wish they'd let Game Pass ultimate users use the Origin client and not make us beta test that ea desktop client. Is there any way to get stuff moved to Origin? Then maybe we could try the repair game option at least. No way we're going to buy it all again through Origin though just to use a game launcher from the same company we've already purchased everything through for PC.
