Windows Vista or 7: Navigate to C:\Users\"username"\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Medieval
Mac: Navigate to \Users\"username"\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Medieval
Locate all the files ending in .package and delete them. After that, delete all data from WorldCaches and Thumbnails folders. If the problem is not solved, reinstall the game.
