Re: [ARCHIVED] Orange/Green Exclamation signs over lots / Houses disappear

I decided to conduct a little experiment today, on my own, and yes I am aware of the bug and its existence still remains in contact, that is why I am going to test the game, only this time, I WILL NOT USE ANY OF THE GAME PACKS, the reason why is That I believe why this Incomplete symbol keeps reappearing around different lots alongside residental lots, I believe that one of the Extra Content, Expansion, Game Pack, Stuff Pack, AND Kit pack, may have been infected somehow, I will only play it without the packs right now and later on reinstall 1 Pack at a time to see if anything failed to download, yet still worked at the same time, keep in mind I am willing for other players/BETA Testers who are willing to figure out the cause of all this, and see if any of the packs has anything to do with this bug.

I just found this on another forum and it ended up working! 

For some of the lots I had already clicked into them in Build Mode and they were empty, so I went to the Gallery and found something *similar* to the original lot to replace it with. I am not a Sims expert by any means and unsure what CAUSED the issue, but this seems to be at least a partial fix. Unfortunately, I'm unable to figure out how to repair/replace the lots that are already gone, but hopefully this helps.

I've done a bit of research up until now, but it would seem I think I found a problem that had started this whole mess in the first place: "Strangerville Game Pack" As soon as i attempted a download, at first it had failed, which led my thoughts on meaning Strangerville could be the cause of all this, though I cannot say for sure. @crinrict if it is possible I suggest looking into Strangerville for any possible bugs that may lead to the Incomplete Lot bug

@Maxwin1999 Thanks for the info but it's up to EA to figure out what's causing this.Not something I can help with.

The original bug that I've linked occurred long before SV but maybe it's the culprit for these new symptoms

After a testing simulation for the "Repair test on The sims 4" resulted within 1 hour last night, however this time the repair only took approximatley 50 minutes, and after waiting for 30 minutes of repairment on THE SIMS 4 only, the result ended with an message including an error saying "The Sims 4 failed to update/repair Please contact us at awnsers.EA .com if you are experincing technical diffculties". after closing the message The Sims 4 was still downloaded anyway without hesitation. my beliefs are leading towards SV and The Sims 4 Base Game itself. And now after in resolvement to 2nd attempt, my old Gallery is gone, however the sims i made say they were still there on my showcase, but not inside my inventory, which is now starting to scare me

@crinrict 

Well I don't know why this happened and literally just now![like not even] when I reinstalled TS4 after waiting for a few days after the new patch came out, my game is finally clear, no more incomplete lot symbols no disappearing houses or anything! I am finally free from this despicable despair of pain and strife, Now i only wish I could get my old gallery back now so I can finally get my head straight for once, It says I already have the ones uploaded, however the households, lots, rooms, aren't in my gallery, only starter-like lots and households, it only shows me the households I had once are uploaded, but don't show in gallery.

And no messages popped up saying there was any errors after reinstalling, and repairing the sims 4. #first_try

I just hope someone can explain to me how I can fix the gallery now before I get a new headache.

In short of what i was trying to say "TS4" thinks I am new to the game and gave me a starter pack of random things in gallery, when i click on my own profile it shows me my old sims i had before, when I clicked view profile, it showed me everything but when i clicked gallery "new gallery, not old" it was completely different and now i am worrying how i am gonna fix this because i dont have TrayDeletedItems anymore, makes it so much more harder...
