I haven’t been on the sims 4 in a while. I play on the a windows 10. I wanted to get on and play. I haven’t installed any mods or cc since i last played, but i did install reshade and some presets. I have a mod that tells me which mods need updating, and i updated all the mods it told me to. There is a red boarder around the screen, the upstairs and downstairs buttons are missing. The menu button won’t work (but the world button does) the gallery button doesn’t work. No controls are working (but the thing above my sim’s head is still spinning) but the sims aren’t moving. The sims controls aren’t working. The entire sims right hand menu is missing and do is the one in the left. I tried repairing my game twice and it didn’t work. What do I do? Please if you see this, help!!!!

@autumn_413287 A number of mods were broken with the recent patch and need to be updated; not all such mods get caught by the tools meant to flag them. Start by removing or updating the UI cheats mod, if you have it. If that doesn't help, remove all your mods and test. If the issue is gone, you can add back your mods in batches, testing each time to see whether the problem reappears. If and when it does, you'll know that the problem is in the last batch you added, and you can split it and retest until you've found the culprit.

I'm having a problem too, only mine isn't getting stuck. All of my CC is just gone. It's still in the mod folder on my pc, but it's not loading in the game. Every time I load up the game it says that my stuff "isn't installed on this computer or owned by the current account". Big problem considering my sims and their stuff is almost entirely CC.

@WindyVee Did you turn CC back on in the options ?
Do make sure everything is still compatible as per list posted above.

My game will not work with mods since the update on June 4th!
My game opens fine, but as soon as I go into a lot, a number of things are wrong.
The red border is around my screen, as if its paused. There is nothing on the bottom part of my game, no time and pause button, sim, or needs bar. The options bar at the top right of the screen is still there, but some of the buttons are not there, and you cannot click on the ones that are there. The build mode button is greyed out, and says "This lot can only be modified in world edit" even if its a residential lot with a sim of mine moved into it. I can press manage worlds, but if I click it, it just brings me to a frozen, dark screen. Since I can't click the options button, there is no way to exit the game. I couldn't even exit it from the tab if I went out of the game. The only way (and I am not at all tech savvy so I'm sure there is an easier way to do this) was to restart my pc.
I tried updating all my mods, made sure my game and origin was all up to date, and tried multiple different saves. The only thing that worked was taking my mods out.
I would really like to play with my mods and cc, because all of my saves would not really work properly without the mods I have. I can't go through all my mods and cc to figure out which is broken because, again, my pc needs to restart to reopen the game, and my pc is really old and slow so both of those things take quite a while. I don't really want to spend hours going through my mods if there is an easier fix.
I would be willing to reinstall the sims 4 if that is the only fix, but I thought I'd ask here in case there is an easier way to fix this issue.
I can provide screenshots if necessary.
