Game not functioning since new update

I just updated my game to the new update that came out yesterday (23th of July) and it broke everything. First, everything in the world went black, I can still see the sims panel (but can't click on it), household, funds etc but everything else is black. Second, after restarting the game, the cheat bar does not pop up, I cannot click on the sims panel (needs, relationships etc) and when I went into build mode everything in build mode is gone and I can't go back to live mode. Saving the game doesn't work and I can't go into CAS or see the world map. It is completely unplayable with the new update for the new expansion pack :( 

I am having the same issue also.  I couldn't click on anything other than Simology.  Couldnt get the menu to show up.  I had to force quit the game.  I was able to take my cat to the vet and come back to the house but i'm not able to exit and go to another household.  I cannot save.  I cant even tab out the game.  I wont be able to play until this is fixed. 

The same has happened to me on PS4. My curser, panels and menus have gone missing so unable to play. 

I don't have any mods/cc and my game acts the same..

Date and time of the bug: July 23 (just after the update)
Type of device : PC ( Gamer PC Legion )

I tried to restart my PC and repair the game with EA but it didn't work.

The interface of the game has changed, I can no longer leave the game even by pressing the ... at the top right of the interface, by pressing the escape key on my keyboard or by pressing alt+f4. I had to restart my PC to quit the game

Looks like I'm not the only one. I've updated and restarted multiple times. The inventory won't open. If I go into build mode, I can't get back to live mode and I've had to force an exit every time because game options won't open. Kinda pointless to play when you can't save. 

same here they put a wrong code in again it happens with every expansion we just sit and wait for a bug fix

Since the update yesterday 07/23/2024 my game keeps crashing. I do not have any mods or modifications besides the update. I had tried resetting my computer, repair sims 4 game and restarting several times. It will work for 10 minutes then crash to the point you can't exit game. You can't do anything or click anything. It's frustrating.

Lets check again

Fishing signs don't work. Adult sim pathing randomly breaks and tries to go straight to something rather then a clear route. Child cannot change aspirations. Everyone is fighting swear this game is now fight club. The baby is needing to be changed and fed every sim hour. Needless to say I cannot play this the way it is. Occasionally sims become unclickable like they are NPC. I've tried vanilla emptying out my mods and with mods - with mods it's at least playable till you want to do something in particular.
