Disappearing Ceiling

★★★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? sp09
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no idea. I have been playing it like I have for years and just after the most recent update (today), it started doing this.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game doesn't recognize ceilings. I can't place roofs or put tiles on them.
What do you expect to see? A ceiling that doesn't intermittently (like just moving the perspective) disappear.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. your game update

Nothing has changed about my gameplay.  Suddenly, ceilings are not registering.  I can recreate it simply by building anything with a roof or second floor.  It's intermittent, but the space between when the ceiling is visible and not is only about a few second.  Sometimes I can see the ceiling, but the game doesn't register that it's there.

@PuppyofJam Could you try repairing your game through Origin to see if that makes a difference ?

Thank you for responding. I didn’t know repair via Origin was possible.  Is that through the app on my PC?  Or do I need tech support?

@PuppyofJam It's through the app on your PC. Close your game. Go to Origin. Right-click on the game's icon and choose Repair.
