i noticed not to long ago that all my pets icon backgrounds were white. like their aspirations were at maximum level. it doesn't matter what neighborhood i'm in, all pets are effect. also, it doesn't matter what mood they're in. they can be in the worst mood ever.. it's still white.
i'd like to fix this problem without uninstalling and reinstalling my game. does anyone have a clue how i can accomplish this?

i have no idea how, what, or why this happened, but for some reason my sims last three fingers are fused together. i tried removing everything custom and they are still stuck. is anyone else having this problem??
the pic is from a lot that i never played before after removing mods, hacks, and custom content. they are also fused in neighborhoods that i never visited before, or played. like strangetown.

i have uni, NL, pets, and seasons EPs.

if this is on the wrong thread, i am so sorry. but i have no idea where to put this or who to ask for help.
