Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply!
I just went and updated every single mod I had and the problem is still there!
Here are my mods:
Nraas:
ErrorTrap
StoryProg - Base, Money, Population and Skill
Register
Debug
Mover
Traveler
Cupcake
Master Controller + Cheats
Icarus: MakeHotBeveragesExtra
Nobuildsparkles
I think I have the mosaic one too but it's not coming up on the welcome screen mod log.
It's just so fraustrating, I do not want to reinstall the game.
I'm going to test with a new family in a new town to see if its the same.. it's just so sad
