Re: Map Tags Disappear After Joining a Profession

I've had that happen too with the firefighter career one sec the tag is there the next can't see it what i have had to do thought it is a pain to do is when i see that happen I've saved and quit then cleared the cache files launch the game the tags came back for a while went again

elete the cach files go to electronic arts/the sims 3/

 
•CasPartCache.package
•compositorCache.package
•scriptCache.package
•simCompositorCache.package
•socialCache.package.package

it's safe to delete these files as a new ones will regenerate

 i searched around and found this info before i would try this i would save my game with the save as new name ( thus keeping the original safe and untouched just in case it dooes not work then quit without saving  )

a simple yet effective solution to this problem without exiting the game,
 use the following cheats in cheat console.
 Step 1: ctrl+shift+c hold all 3 together in the menu bar that appears at the top of the screen type in testingcheatsenabled true
 Step2: maptags on
 step3:  ctrl+shift+c hold all 3 together in the menu bar that appears at the top of the screen type in  testingcheatsenabled false
it should now show the missing tags

    I've tried the testing cheats one, and that did nothing. I'm gonna try the cache one. I'd prefer a more permanent solution, though :/

    Nope, again, it's not working, even after deleting cache files.

    Also, since I tried that, the other saves have started only showing the salon and the home lot too :/
