Glitch in build and buy after 7/20/21 update

[pixiepip1122]

Hey,

After updating The Sims 4 for the most recent update there have been some serious glitches when I go into build and buy mode.

When I go into select an object by room or build mode all the buttons are mixed up and glitchy. I also have this problem with the toolbar on the upper right-hand corner.

Another problem with build mode is that whatever part I click I always get taken to the plant section and not anything else.

@yas_sal421  The usual culprits are Better Build/Buy and mods by TwistedMexi, so if you have any of those, start there.  Otherwise, use the 50/50 method linked above.

@pixiepip1122  Please move your entire Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package, and test.  If the game works normally now, you'll need to go through your mods to find out which ones are broken; the 50/50 method can speed things up.

If you see any issues with your mods completely removed, clear Origin's cache and repair the game, then test again.

@pixiepip1122 Hey, I'm experiencing the same issue currently. If you have resolved this, can you please let me know which mod was creating this glitch as I have not yet been able to identify it. Thank you!

Thank you so much, the culprit was indeed TwistedMexi's BetterBuild&Buy mod

Hey, the culprit is TwistedMexi's BetterBuild&Buy Mod as someone mentioned in this thread. Hope that helps x

I have that same glitch, but I delete the mod and it. did nothing. The game is still glitched and I cannot build anything in build mode anymore Can someone please help me find a way to fix that?

@Rainbowarrior10 This is an old thread (which I'm going to close now), and the causes of this sort of issue change with each patch and pack. Start with the pinned Broken/Updated Mods topic. If you still have issues after that, please see the advise in the pinned Current Issues topic or start a new topic.
