[ARCHIVED] [S] NPC Holiday Decorations getting stuck (Patch 1.55)

I noticed that this post says “fixed”, but for me this is still happening.

@SqueamishNerd For a new holidays/ new saves? As stated above, already existing ones might need to be removed manually first.

It does still seem to happen for certain neighborhoods though.

What happens when the bug occurs? When I went to some households that I havent played for a while, found that there were some festival decorations and icicles ( Some were flags ) on roof edges.

@Asung010686 Did these newly happen.


There was an issue with these but it's been fixed a while ago

I'm not sure how existing saves behave with this though. Try having a holiday with no decorations and travel around the neighborhoods that currently have them and see if that gets rid of them for good.

I dont think the problem has been "fixed". This happened 3 days ago to me and I just checked again the decorations still there. I deleted the fences and built some new, but the decorations appeared again. I'll try what you suggested to wait for the next holiday, but it will be over a week later....That is ennoying...😞😞

Same here, looks like the issue returned in some form with the pre-Uni patch. I will do further testing when I'm home next week.

@crinrictI am seeing a form of this bug in my current save. I had stuck decorations from Love Day on all the houses in my Willow Creek neighborhood. It was already summer and the decorations were still there long after I cleared the decorations from my house. The "adding a new holiday with no decorations" workaround did clear the decorations from all of the houses. Thanks for that!

An odd thing though is I am still seeing stuck decorations going all the way back to Winterfest in one neighborhood in Windenburg. It's the neighborhood with the gym, night club, pool, etc. The workaround did not clear the decorations from these buildings. I checked all the other locations in Windenburg and they are all fine, as are all other locations in my other worlds, so it is just that one neighborhood. It's not really bothering me that much as Windenburg looks nice with winter holiday decorations anyway. I do not know of any way to manually remove holiday decorations from public venues. I just wanted to add all this in case anyone else is seeing the same thing.

The game save is CC and mod-free.
