Sims 3 map icons/tags not appearing

I have a problem with my game,  i got sims 3 supernaturals recently, and since then i have been getting problems with the map. 

I play as usual, and then i go to 'map icon' and the blue and red icons are no longer there. this happen yesterday, the FIRST DAY of playing with supernaturals, and i saw on the sims 3 website on forums that i should move out the family and it will go back to normal. i did that, and lost the family's achievements and relationships, so not so great. It then happened again and i moved the family out with the computer, sp i didn't lose anything, but i had to build a brand new house. Then it has happened just now, but i'd rather not move the family out again. i've tried shutting the computer down, and going to 'edit town' then 'back to game' but nothing happens. 

the sims 3 game launcher and games are fully updated and patched. the sims 3 game launcher is version: 15.0.135.019001. the sims 3 game is version: 1.42.130.019002. i only have the sims 3 supernaturals as an EP, and it is version: 15.0.135.018001. i have riverview installed- the free town and i have the plants vs. zombies fan pack. i also have three items installed as CC from an external site. I have been playing on Moonlight Falls.

If a solution could please be found i would be really grateful, as it's ruining my game as i've tried to zoom in and out on the places in the town, but it's hard to find places and is extremely annoying. 

Thank you for your time. I'd really appreciate an answer. 

  • I had this problem starting today and found a solution that worked for me.  I have NRass Master Controller Mod installed (http://nraas.wikispaces.com/MasterController  ). I clicked on my sim and selected NRass>Master Controller>Housedhold>Reset Lot.  My sim's lot was then reset and the map icons reapeared. 

    I don't know if this is going to be only a temporary fix but I figure if I have the problem again I can simply reset my lot again.  Sim's wishes, skills, and status were not effected incase this was a worry.  Hope this helps.

  • This worked for me too, but of course it cancelled all the wishes I had for my Sim.  

  • I don't know if anyone is still having this problem but I believe I have a fix!!!! Just go to the 3 dots in the left-hand corner, click EDIT TOWN, then click the hand icon to MOVE LOT. You can now rotate the lot IF you want to, but for me all I did was then click "accept" on that screen without moving it at all. Then the town/map icons appeared again! 🙂 After all this time, hopefully people haven't stopped playing and this fix will help!

    I'll close this thread out from here as it's a bit of an oldie. Thanks @maestrospicetro for adding what worked for you. 🙂
