Can't select Sims while playing specific Sim

[Technomage]

One of my Sims just got home from work, and now she can't select Sims (whether herself or anyone else), but my other Sims can do it just fine.  I tried the resetsim cheat and logging off and on the game, but the glitch still hasn't fixed.

Just great, as if the mailbox glitch hasn't ticked me off enough.

Thanks.  At least there's a temporary fix.

THE WORKAROUND
Hi I have found a solution to the problem. The problem occurs when the Sim's singing skill has a value greater than 5. To solve it, you need to reduce the skill value to less than 5.

Here are some steps you can follow:

Open the cheat console:
PC: Ctrl + Shift + C
Mac: Cmd + Shift + C
PS4: L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
Xbox One: LB + LT + RB + RT
Type the following command in the console: stats.set_skill_level Major_Singing X
Replace X with the value you want the singing skill to have. Make sure it is a value less than 5.
Press Enter.
Example:

If you want your Sim's singing skill to be 3, type the following command: stats.set_skill_level Major_Singing 3

Note:

This command only works if you have the The Sims 4: City Living expansion pack installed.

I also had this problem following the sims4 update on the 27 Feb but the small update yesterday 29 Feb solved it for me.
