Ideas
Could you please provide the following information
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
- What platform are you playing ?
- A screen shot
-
Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?
- Delete the ones you have
- Trigger the error again
- Check if new ones are created
- If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.
Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting. - The scout badge is a known issue. Please use this thread: [S] Scouts Badge Progress UI missing text | EA Forums - 12212617
Hello Sorry for the lack of info, I am new to this.
I am not using any mods or CC.
I am playing on my windows gaming laptop.
I have attached a screenshot below of the issue, and I have circled in red the menus that are messed up or missing. Once this happens I have tried everything to get the menus to come back, but ultimately you can't do anything until you repair and restart the game, I also cannot get that camera control menu to go away, even in live mode.
(More info below image)
I deleted the last exception files, and tried again. The image above is when the error was triggered again after the deletion.
Just one new last exemption was created when the error happened again. That info is below.

I hope this info helps you solve the problem. I was able to trigger the error within 5 mins of opening the game again. I opened build mode as soon as I got into the game and closed it after changing something, error did not trigger the first time, I went into build mode about 3 mins later and closed it after moving something, and the error happened just like all the other times.
Thank you
