Missing Studio Content

Recently I was looking for an older build in my studio when I noticed that it was absent, along with many other uploads. Most of them were older builds, however some were within the last 2 years. I know what I have deleted. I had some computer problems where I had to completely re-install and so I uploaded them as safeguards.  I have 2 now, one with store content and the other without, but that is another story I won't go into. 🤬The team on Cape Albacore remembers this, I am sure. lol. Has anyone else noticed this has happened to them? I am sure this is recent; I would guess within the last 3 months as I often poke around in my studio seeing what I can improve or to Dl to my other system.

    Thank you.  Unfortunately, I don't have any of them because of a major issue I ran into last October. I mostly wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same issue

    That is very disturbing to hear, Kcity74! I guess we should all check our studios from time to time. They may be culling. Who knows? I hope it's a glitch and you didn't just lose all your stuff. Keep us informed.

      Pretty much anything I uploaded before 2021 is gone

    OK I really hate that for you! Have you spoken to EA? Would it help?

    I checked my studio and all is still there BUT when I download into my game, I sometimes have a hard time getting the community lots to show up. Some will and some won't. This game is so good but hard to work with sometimes.

    Am really sorry about all your stuff!!

    I uploaded this in 2015 and its still there. Fair warning: if you download it, the front yard has some contours in the terrain that you'll need to match up to the street. It was built on a vacant lot in ... can't think of the name ... the European hot air balloon one. across the road from the red barn type looking house. Ha! Does that help? Aurora ... and the family are .. hmm. Anyway. Maybe it is lasting longer because there's only EA stuff in it. I recoloured things of course but its all from the game and The Store. Nothing from modders, nor the exchange. All first-hand.

    Hey maybe you were a different name before 2021 on Sims 3. 

    Or maybe you dreamed it. 

    I think a couple of my sims are gone though.

      thank you. No unfortunately the name I picked when I first started not understanding what I was doing has stuck (Fatness1974, don't ask). Alas, it was not a dream. At least 30+ creations/households gone. Honestly, I am sad about just a few. One I did find in my library on my laptop.

        Maybe you could do an experiment and see what happens if you upload that again. It might say, something along the lines of: you already uploaded that, which I'm pretty sure it used to say. But if it does, it might trigger its reappearance? And maybe it might not happen straight away. Something like that. I need to do some maintenance on my computer before I go into the game to do that myself. Maybe in a couple of weeks. Anyway, just a suggestion. 

         

        Peace.
