UI Cheats mod not working

[ashleysims02]

Since I downloaded the new version of the UI Cheats mod for the recent patch, none of the cheats will work. The box comes up to change the value of the need, or to approve a promotion etc., but the cheat doesn't actually work. I tried moving my mods folder, restarting the game, and then re-downloading the mod in the new Mods folder, but that didn't work. I also tried repairing the game from Origin, but that didn't change anything either. I use this mod all the time so I would really appreciate some help!

Are you sure it is the newest from the authors patreon site? Notice that the one on ModtheSims only work with the Legacy Edition.

I have the exact same problem

@AleWex1 The most recent version of this mod was updated on Mar 3rd 2021. Did you download the recent version?

@ashleysims02  It's working generally fine for me, however with adding (retail) perks it isn't, I can add them (though it also resets to a '690' amount, it also has no effect when entering the perks menu itself. Clicking to 'unlock' seems to work also, but will not show it as being: unlocked nor can I purchase them, a workaround atm for myself, is getting some other retail mods to at least add more staff..

I am still trying to find time to find out what may be incompatible with this mod that I use. as Weerbesu is usually on par with his mods, but it is up to the user, to ensure compatibility with other mods you use.

When you have time, & if you do have the latest UI Cheats, the best idea may be to: 'cull' of your mods with a test game, leaving UI Cheats in and cull the rest, adding a group of folders back, at a time to check for any incompatibilities.

Edit: Decided to check in a test game, by removing all apart from Weerbesu's mods, and can confirm that it still happens.

1: Seems I can only 'add' points one time for 'Retail' which I did then purchased a few, went back out to redo, add more, it resets and does not work. 

2: It only adds to the Retail Perk points, when using the Vet or Restaurant options after the first time, in the UI menu (it has all three) though does not recognize the points when added to the 'Retail' perk points option after.

@jpkarlsen When I install the UI Cheats and start up the game, my bar that normaly have the photo of the sim, the phone and where I can see each person in the house hold along with the needs bar is gone, I have to use my task manager to close the game because it wont allow me to do anything else. when I remove the UI cheats everything is back. How can I fix this?

Upgrade UI cheats to the latest supported by the author,

From UI Cheats Patron page:
"If you experience UI issues from this mod (such as missing interface, graphical glitches on UI panels, freezing menus, glitched gallery, etc.), it is always because there is a mismatch between your game version and the mod version."

Make sure that you are
A) running the most recent version of the mod (v1.23 as of this posting)
B) the correct version of the game (i.e. that you have updated your game to the most recent patch)

If you are playing a Legacy game then that also requires a different version of the mod.

@7aefdb802e910595 The most common reason your UI Extensions mod aren't working:

- You have an earlier version of the game than the mod is for: Update your game.

- You're putting the mod too many folders deep. It can be in Mods or in Mods > Subfolder but no further than that.

- You have duplicate copies; check your Mods folder for this

In your case, perhaps you're having issues with the script mod settings sticking, though. Check your antivirus software to make sure it's not interfering: https://answers.ea.com/t5/PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Anti-Virus-blocking-User-Folder-Screenshots/td-p/9572695
