[VANILLA] Crystal Creations never worked

What happens:

I try to create random jewelry, sim goes to table, glitch resets

When I open menus to cut gemstone or make jewelry, it appears empty

I bought Crystal Creations the day preorder began. I was super excited for this pack. I use mods and cc often so I was patient with it when it didn't work upon release. I thought there was some mod lurking I hadn't updated and that's why it wasn't working.

But I finally stopped avoiding it and set everything aside to fix it cause I really wanna use this pack! 

What I tried:

Tried disabling pack, loading save, saving, enabling pack, testing = didn't work

Removed all mods and tested = didn't work

Deleted cache files = didn't work

Uninstalled (deleted S49) and reinstalled Crystal Creations = didn't work

Repaired my game = didn't work

Disabling mods and cc and script mods in options = didn't work

New save file = didn't work

The first lastexception_numbers generated as soon as I loaded up game with all the above already done. No mods. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xWD65KtnTL_lIntHZzThqkSQc4RsXLCH3pTDtCkdP6c/edit?usp=sharing

The second lastexception attatched generated when I tried to use the table. I don't know how to read these things but I'm starting to see it's not a mod issue. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEpcRNTh6H90tJFTuRwW2z2FiF5XRvaA762gA1JJ6WE/edit?usp=sharing

Site won't let me attatch files so here are google docs actually.

Help plz... or at the very least is it too late to get a refund? .-.

    lol so

    I did all of this and it didn't make much a difference. Probably good for my system though.

    So I started thinking perhaps the problem solving has gone too far, too complex so what's something simple I haven't tried.

    The issue wasn't in the pack or game files but in my ConfigOverride folder... I had a Default.ini file in there and I guess it causes problems having an old one in there when an update happens.

    Let an entire new TS4 folder generate, added things back bit by bit, turns out it was ConfigOverride.

    Thanks for all your help and ideas. Problem solved! The gems appear now and the table works.

    @BabyKitsch Really odd error. The LE you get is usually if you try to use a mod that has functionality from a pack you don't own but it does say your game is unmodded so it's like the game doesn't  recognize the pack properly.

    Do you have all the CAS assets and Build mode assets ?

    Did you buy the packs through Steam or EA app ?

    EDIT: Typos

    @crinrict For some reason I can't do a full reply so hopefully a quick reply sends a notif but... I don't know what those assets are so I'll assume I've never touched them. They should all be there? I bought it through the EA app.

    I have every item. But when I try to use the table it doesn't work. ALSO I just tried taking a #crystalcreations room from the gallery with stuff like polished gemstones on charging tables, crystal skulls, jewelry, etc. and it doesn't work? I get sims delivery content not installed (i updated that in settings still no luck) and also some rooms can't be placed altogether. It said "script call failed."

    So I reinstalled the pack to get the screenshots and noticed I get lastexceptions simply from having the pack installed. Using TMEX's LE mod this is what I found (see Screenshot_2) 

    Attatchment "scf" is what I was talking about when I try to place a room containing Crystal Creations gems and/or jewelry.

    @BabyKitsch What's your current game version showing in the main menu ? Lower right corner of the main menu.

    @BabyKitsch So that's the problem them. We're currently at 1.107 so your game isn't up to date.

    Does EA app not offer you an update ?

    sighhh. No. And I bit the bullet uninstalled sims, uninstalled EA app, reinstalled EA app, reinstalled sims, No use. Still version 1.104... Theres no prompt to update at all. And the first thing i did was app recovery to clear cache.

    In the __Installer folder installerdata.xml opened with notepad says game version 1.107.151.1020

    But on the main menu and GameVersion.txt it says otherwise. 1.104

    I've no clue what else to do I been reading through relevant forums.
