I went and started up The Sims 3 on my PC. Once I got into the game I noticed that the panel at the bottom of the screen that lets you go into buy mode, build and lets you check your sims needs is gone! I've been trying different things but i can't seem to get it back. Does anyone know how this is really bugging me!??

That is usually a sign of game corruption.
Here's some info about the issue
Problem
I can't play anymore for there is no User Interface in my game anymore.

I personally have tried all three of these possible solutions and neither of them have corrected the issue. Any other options? I don't want to lose my sims progress

pressing TAB worked for me

I have a similar problem only with me the interface is there but the, for lack of better word, face buttons, aren't.
the buttons on the left hand side that have the face of teh sim and a background colour that changes colour.
i've tried reloading my game ( no effect) and going into my saves folder onto my harddisk, deleting the main file, copying the back-up and changing the name of the back-up. when i start up the game after the editing of my safe file it works fine but then when i save and play again later the buttons will be gone again!
pressing F10 also doesn't work. and the buttons are gone both in full screen as in windowed mode.

I didn't, after 3 days of scouring the net and trying everything i just gave up the family as a lost cause and deleted them. my other 2 save files were fine but it still sucks

I'm also have the same problem and I'm try to contact EA but it's so damn hard to be able to chat with them. Have you solve the problems? Cause it's been the third time it's happen with me. Even if I deleted the save game and making a new one (after I reinstall the game again everytime it happen) it's seem it will happen again and again.
