the menus in my game WILL NOT OPEN

I have been trying to reach someone in customer service for some time now. But I can never get anyone to help me with this issue. For a few weeks now i have been having issues with my game and its menus opening. The game loads up fine and I get to my sims and in the beginning, everything is fine, its working and there are no issues. After a while I can't open my inventory or any more panels. I try to go save the game but the drop-down menu won't open either. I had to turn on my auto save from MCCC just to be able to save the game. If I don't have the auto save on and don't remember to save from time to time the game won't let me and I lose TONS of progress. At first it was happening here and there now today it won't let me do anything. None of my panels are opening, my drop-down menu won't work. MCCC isn't working anymore (it is up to date) I can't even open MCCC on the computer to see if the autosave is still active. I have to force close the game. I have repaired the game twice; I have restarted my whole computer. I don't know what else to do to get this fixed. It's an extreme inconvenience. I can't save when need to and I can't play the way I want because when I need items from my inventory im not able to get them. I can't even go into build mode because it freezes on that screen and i have to close the game. can't travel anywhere. Just a big bother. What else can i do to get this done? Can someone from customer service actually reach out to help get this fixed. I put in a few reports about this issue and it seems to be getting worse not better.

  • LadyTaurus89  Please test with no mods or custom content, as in, move your Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package.  You don't need to save your progress.

    If that doesn't help, please force the game to load in windowed mode.  Open Options.ini, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero).  Then test again.
