[ECO] Cannot fill insect farm (Yuma Heights Lot)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of the Expansion Packs - Game packs: Dine Out, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure - Stuff Packs: Kid's Room Stuff Pack, Back Yard Stuff Pack, My First Pet Stuff Pack, Tiny Living Stuff Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1 Have an empty insect farm on your lot 2 Try to fill it with any of the options
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim refuses to fill it. Gets this 'feet with cross' icon above its head. Says that he can't walk there. But it's in the middle of an empty garden. Tried it in a large room as well. A totally empty lot. But each time, Sim cannot fill it.
What do you expect to see? To be able to fill the insect farms so I can feed them and harvest them.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Checked all of the existing issues, but couldn't find anything close to the problem I'm experiencing.

It's my first time posting something. I've read the rules, but I apologize if I've made a mistake somewhere.

I've seen people have been unable to harvest their insect farms, but I can't even fill mine.

My Sim keeps on saying that his way is blocked, even though it isn't. I've tried it with several families, several lots, ... All experience the same issue.

I tried to take a screenshot, but it doesn't want to show the icon my Sim is showing. It's this one (Used a Google photograph).

No difference whether I give the order when he's right next to it or upstairs in the house.

No difference which type of insect I pick either.

Thank you in advance for the help !

  • I indeed tried it on multiple lots with multiple Sims. Even totally different families. I tried it with saved game A (Surname 'De Coster') and their nearly 10 families, and tried it with saved game B. Did not work for the past two weeks. 

    I just rechecked it once more this morning, moved some families to new homes, and those Sims/lots do work now.

    'Suzanne De Coster' lives in Evergreen Harbor and the insect farm works perfectly in her house. 

    'Lars De Coster' lives in San Myshuno and the insect farm works perfectly in his apartment as well.

    But for some reason, the insect farm still refuses to work for 'Pieter De Coster'. He lives in Oasis Springs in the Yuma Heights building. No matter which member of the household I use. Himself, his wife, children, ... Can I somehow ... debug that specific lot without having to completely remove it and redecorate it again and/or moving Pieter's family ?
