I actually do have mods but no cc. Do you know where I could get the updated mods then? thanks for your reply

What mods do you have? ModTheSims has them, but the site search never works for me, so if you type the name of the mod you have into google, a link for it will come up and see if the person has put a newer version of the mod up.

Does everything else to do with the GTW expansions work? e.g clothes and careers?

i havent tried clothes but building retails lot, and entering the new world works. Ir only stops the moment I tell my sim to buy a retail.

So what I did was I went to mydocuments/ElectronicArts/ and there I changed 'the sims 4' folder to just 'sims 4'. Then I restarted my game. 
Automatically you'll notice that it's as if you rebooted your game (as if it's your first time playing with tutorials, basically everything is new) and you'll also notice that all of your game is gone, that's completely normal because the moment you launched your game, the sims 4 went and created a new 'the sims 4' folder in your electronic arts folder. 
So what I did was, I quit my game and went back to the 'sims 4' folder (so it's your previous the sims 4 folder that you renamed) and copied all of what's in my saved folder (I would not recommend you to copy paste the folder itself because it might not solve the problem) and I then pasted to my new 'the sims 4' folder to the saved folder.  
Once you restart your game you'll have everything as normal. 

If you receive a cursor or camera control problem like I did, for PC what I did was ctrl+shift+tab that will allow you to set your camera to normal, if you press on the 3 buttons again then it will return to its first state. Try it once then see how your camera control ends up. 
I was completely mind blowned when I figured this out lol 


Hope that helped anyone in need  have fun playing simmers x

For the future, you could also try deleting ONLY the file "localtumbcachae.package", which is located in My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4. And see if that helps you already. Other than that, thank you for sharing this possible solution with us.   Have fun with the game, and feel free to get back to us anytime.
