Buymode Gone? Fixed

[Process Denied]

I have a strange situation that I have never encountered before and don't know how to resolve it.  Last night, I clicked on the top buymode icon(the one that lists everything) and it disappeared.  Has anyone had that happen to them before?  I still have the bottom icon, but I always use the top, so I have no idea where some of my hacked objects are?  I would appreciate any help offered?

Did you install the patch? As in, did the patch break you?

I did install the patch.  Last night I did all I could do to fix it, and I did have a back up before this happened, today I went back in and it is fixed?  I wonder what happened? Scary! I'm going to hold on to my back up just in case it happens again.  I do have a very very mature neighborhood and weird things can happen--I hope this is just a one time fluke.

That started happening in my game lately as well.

At least I think it did. What I am experiencing is when I open buymode the sorting by function tab is empty. I can still choose the tab that sorts by room and everything is there.

The problem resolves itself after sometime. I thought it was some weird glitch. I didn´t update the game in any way since seasons.

I can also force the tab to come back when I use that eyedropper tool, or whatever it is called. The thing which selects the exact object in the catalog, that you clicked on.

This issue is known to occur anytime you eyedropper an object that appears in multiple categories. To fix it, eyedropper something else. It is an old issue, not unique to the patch.
