No Build, No Play, Just Create.

★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.63.134.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Tiny Living, City Living, My First Pet Stuff, Mosicno Stuff, Get Famous, Cats and Dogs, Holiday Stuff, and Get Together.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am sorry but, I don't know
What happens when the bug occurs? I play the Sims 4 on a mac book air and I downloaded some cc, and whenever I try to go into build mode it won't let me build, and whenever I try to play a household with and without cc it doesn't let me. All I can do is create sims. I want to play sims again! Frown What do I do to make my sims 4 game work again?
What do you expect to see? I want to be able to use build mode and play my sims again.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I took out custom content but, it says it's still in my game even though I took it all out of the folder. And it still wouldn't let me build or play my sims.

I can not attach a picture or video because the file is too big.  Sorry. Frown

Hi  @KT_loves_pugs 

 

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 and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • 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.

Good Luck
