@rosaide767 Did you happen to place a tent inside a World Adventures chest? That can cause the issue you're experiencing. I suppose there could be a cc-related cause as well, athough I wouldn't know which item(s) would produce this effect.
If you're worried that these saves are corrupted, you can try the clean folder test. Drag your entire TS3 game folder out of Documents and onto your desktop. When you launch the game again, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Copy the save from the standard (non-cc) world into the new folder, then load the game and see what happens. If the pic of the house reappears, the issue is with your old game folder or some custom content you used in the build—that cc would not be in your new folder and would have disappeared. If the pic is still gone, your house may be corrupted.
The other thing to try is to evict the family, copy the house to the bin, bulldoze the lot, replace it with the bin copy, and then move the family back in, all in one Edit Town session. The family would keep their jobs and relationships but lose their promised wishes and opportunities. But the process might remove the issues with the house. You can always quit without saving if you don't like the results.
come to think of it with one save file i definitely did can't remember if i moved the tent into the other though but i do recall both households were currently exploring paris and i stored all world adventure items in a chest when not using them i will test and see if this works that might explain why it also happened when i moved the sims to a new house as for cc the most i got are items from the store not stuff people made outside of ea at least not for build buy modes so it might actually be the tent
yea both save files had a tent in the inventory i went to edit world to see if it was fixed after the fact but it wasn't is there a way to fix it after i removed the tent?
@rosaide767 You might need to take the tents out of the chests (I put them folded up on the front porch), save the game, quit, clear your cache files, and reload. For reference, the cache files are:
CASPartCache.package
compositorCache.package
scriptCache.package
simCompositorCache.package
socialCache.package
If this doesn't do the trick, you might need to evict your sims, save the house to the bin (without any tents inside the chests), bulldoze the lot, replace the house, and move the household back in. But that's a bit more drastic—your sims will keep their jobs and relationships but lose their promised wishes and opportunities. Still, this process will reset almost anything that's wrong with the house. If it doesn't work, then you might have a separate cc issue.
Sure enough -- the tent inside the treasure chest was the problem. A weirdly specific solution that worked!
