 Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

HI @janiyyah53

This issue is usually caused by mods, namely UI mods.

Make sure they are all updated to work with the latest patch.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it. But the thing is I went to see my UI mods and I deleted it to get the newest update and it was STILL messed up . Now what?

Hey, idk if this will help anyone else with this issue but the mod that caused me to have the same problem is the more CAS colums mod

I love you. I actually can't. I spent 5 months looking for why my game was glitching out. So thank you. Thank you very much. You saved my sim life.

If you have the more colums mod, its probably cause its outdated the same thing happend to me and i searched on the internet and found that it might be because of an outdated more columns mod.
