If it's on a fresh save as well, then it doesn't sound like it's the save game that's the issue
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.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
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.

@crinrict
I followed the instructions. It Didn't work the first time opening (new game), worked the second, third a fourth (a second new game) and now is not working on the second new game. I haven't added any folders or mods back on yet.
Is there something else I can do? At this point, if I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work, I will. I just want to make sure it'll fix it and it won't happen anymore.

- crinrict6 years agoHero+@AmittyWood I really don't know if reinstalling would fix this. Sounds weird. Especially since it works at first and then it doesn't.
Is it always the same lots or does it vary ?- 6 years ago@crinrict Same lots, every time.
I reset it a second time. I have been playing a game off and on the last couple of days, saving but never closing out. I am off on Moday and I will close out and go back in a see if it does it again.
It seems to always be on the upper right hand side of each world, with the exception of the world that has just stores. I have yet to check Glimmerbrook. I have since bought the University expansion and on Monday I will check each world, and let you know which lots I cannot click on.
I again apologize about the delay in responses. I have been pretty busy. Thank you again for your time. 🙂- crinrict6 years agoHero+@AmittyWood Do you just have issues on the world map ? Have you tried if it expands to a loaded lot ? Maybe it's an issue with an overlay in the upper right corner causing issues.
So it could affect CAS, Build Mode and Live mode as well in those areas.
