The Sims 3 CC house did not appearing

I recently download a houses for the sims 3, but when I try to place it in a lot the houses won't show up in the lot. However the cc of the furniture is appear in the library and the build/buy mode though, anyone know how to fix this?

    @rachelacelie  It looks very much like none of the house's data is being preserved.  The house isn't invisible; it's not there at all, and neither are the objects.  (The price makes that clear.)  I don't think there's anything you can do here other than find a different house to use.  It's odd that this one would be corrupt, but it happens.

  • @rachelacelie  Are you saying the house is not in the in-game bin, so you can't select it; or that you see the house and can select it, but it doesn't show up on the lot when you place it?  I think the latter, but I want to make sure.

    If you can place the lot but it doesn't show in Map View, load the lot anyway, in Build/Buy mode, and see whether the house shows up.  Sometimes the Map View image of the lot doesn't update properly but the house is still present.  The workaround here is to place something on the lot that you should see from Map View, for example a tree or rock as landscaping.  This forces the game to update the Map View image.

    Let me know whether the house appears on the lot at all if you load into Build/Buy, and if it doesn't look right, post a screenshot of what you see.  You can put the game into windowed mode with cmd-return/enter and use cmd-shift-4 to capture that portion of the screen.

    Thanks for replying, yes I can see the house and select it to place that in the lot. I've done what you said but the house still doesn't appear. I also placed rock/tree in the lot but the map view image only show the rock/tree not the house. here the screenshot:

    1. This is when I try to place it in the lot

    2. This is when I load the lot in buy/build mode

    3. This is the map view

    It's weird because the CC furniture that comes with the house appears in buy/build mode, I can buy and use it but not the house.

    @rachelacelie  That's normal: you installed the custom content alongside the house.  The cc isn't contained within the house; it's available in-game just as if you'd installed the items any other way.

    I see, I'll try to install another house then. Thank you so much!
