Similar issue, while my sim lived in the city the boxes would spawn all over, but since I've moved the household into a different world, the boxes have stopped spawning completely.
Previously on a save where my sim never lived in the city at all, I never got the boxes in the first place (And boy was I confused about what boxes the flea market festival was talking about!)
From my experience, it does not matter where you live in the city, as long as you live in the city the boxes will spawn, and otherwise they simply never spawn at all.
I have even spend a long enough time in a single neighborhood in the past for the posters to respawn multiple times, yet during that whole time not a single box spawned there.
On the other hand, while my new sim lived in a appartment, the boxes pretty much got thrown at me like snow globes are going out of style!

- 7 years ago@Entoarox this happened to me too. I had a sim live in san myshuno for a while before moving out to brindleton bay. after moving out to brindleton bay, whenever I returned to san myshuno to collect snow globes no boxes would show up. it doesn’t matter if I spend the whole day hanging out in any particular district, I can’t collect snow globes.

I have noticed that the boxes do respawn but it takes more than a day for them to do so. At least 2 and sometimes 3 days so you have to spend a considerable amount of time in a zone unless you live there. They seem to spawn faster if you live there though.

Same here, the boxes will only show up if I have a sim living in SM, No amount of waiting works for any of my sims living in another world. Posters are no problem, just no boxes, so I have to get lucky at the Flea Market, which is a random rare occurrence for me. I've repaired, verifies, reloaded, you name it. I've about given up.

Hey all,
Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.
If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.
