Venues Not Loading Properly

@DoofenshmirtzH  It does sound like some of your content has uninstalled itself, or maybe more accurately, the files into which the content was installed have been corrupted.  What you've described is not uncommon at all.  If a simple uninstall and reinstall of the store venues doesn't help, let me know, and I'll write out the steps for a more thorough intervention.

It would help to know whether you have a lot of store content overall, as in, whether it would be a hassle to uninstall and reinstall everything.  There's a way around it having to do it, but if you only have a few items, starting fresh is the more straightforward option.

I do have a lot of store content now. My purchase history is 25 pages long. A lot of it is stuff I bought individually and have since completed sets, but a lot of it is still just pieces here and there of incomplete sets. To sort it out would probably be a bit of a chore, so with any luck I won't have to go down that road.

I'm just in the process of downloading and re-installing all of the venues. It's a little late for me to test tonight once everything is installed again, so I'll give it a run tomorrow evening sometime and see if it got me anywhere.

I also started having the issue others have reported too about having to do the hokey pokey to designate lots to have the correct settings to place venues. I guess that also started around the same time I noticed my problems with the venues. I'm guessing it was around the time I bought a couple of expansion packs, but I can't say for sure because I didn't start any of the new worlds as soon as I got them. I was still playing old saves where I wasn't editing the towns.

Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have done the trick. I haven't tried all of the venues, but I tested (well, permanently placed in my new world) the casino and the greenhouse and they both worked the way they're supposed to.

Hopefully this problem won't happen again, and if it does hopefully this is all I need to do to fix it again. At worst doing it is a mild inconvenience if it doesn't happen frequently. I've definitely had to deal with worse things in life.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out and offer some assistance.

Hello,

I will need a more thorough intervention of our solution, to the venue issue. My venue are visible but my sims cannot go to it. The message is "lot not available"

@mvp1963  Are you playing Sims 3 or Sims 4?  What venues are affected?
