Sims 4 game loads black box over house and turns black during gameplay

[rnxvt]

While I’m trying to get into game play on the sims 4 my house will have a black box over it and then after getting into my sims family it’ll load up black. I repaired the game deleted cache files opened in window mode.

@rnxvt Do you have mods?

Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...

There are currently some issues with certain versions of macOS and/or certain graphics chips/GPUs.

I experienced this issue today while building. There is a LOT of CC on the lot but this (below) started spontaneously while I was using a Basegame terrain paint outside. 

I stupidly saved while it was happening, and when I reloaded the game everything worked fine except the thumbnail for the house looked like the one in the OP

Here is my computer info:

I was able to resolve the issue (I hope) by rolling back my save to before the glitch occurred. Hopefully it won't happen again.

If you move out your Mods folder, trash the localthumbcache.package file then load up the game does the lot still look like in your second picture?

I am having the same problem and i have a couple of mods however they were all recommended by famous youtubers. I downloaded nothing from suspicious websites only famous YouTubers!

@BoiPotatoes

Whether they were recommended by people on YouTube or someone here, or on Twitter, or on another site is irrelevant. 3rd party content must be compatible with the current patch level of the game. If it is not compatible it can break your game. Try a new clean game by moving the Sims 4 folder to the desktop and see if it still happens.

I had one bad cc that was causing this for me. I guess it went bad after the update. I just started to put all on my cc that was close to where the box was appearing in household inventory. One of the item went in with a black box around it and the problem was solved. I tried everything because everything was fine before. Hope this helps someone.
