[FIXED] [CL] Outlines change after entering build mode in Medina Studio

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expasions, game packs and stuff packs are installed. No "Island Living" so far because it isn't released yet
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to world "San Myshuno" and enter the lot "Medina Studios 910" (where the Benali Household lives by default) and/or "Medina Studios 930" in Build mode! You don't have to change anything, just enter and go back to world map. Notice: The issue doesn't happen when entering the lot in Live mode!
What happens when the bug occurs? After entering the lot "Medina Studios 910" and/or "Medina Studios 930" in Build Mode and returning to world map view hover over the apartment preview of both lots. Their highlighted outlines have changed into a weird shape which don't fit the actual apartments (see the blue highligted outlines of the apartments in attached screenshots).
What do you expect to see? Fitting outline shape of the apartment I hover over with my mouse after I entered the lot in Build mode and return back to Manage worlds / world map.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Issue appeared after patch from 18th of June

I tested this with mods / custom content installed and without on a brand new created Sims 4 folder (under documents) and a new save. The issue appeared on all tests.

    @Simmingal Bulldozing the apartments doesn't trigger the issue. I did generate a fresh new Sims 4 folder by the game, started without any mods installed and created a brand new savegame, just to go into both apartments I mentioned in my first posting here. No bulldozing, nothing. I just went into the one (build mode) and the other (live mode), didn't save, just went back to the world view. The issue is there, outlines of apartments are broken both.
    Oh, and I can confirm one of the Alto apartments has the issue, too.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? when you go to medina studios apartment and hover over the apartment
    What happens when the bug occurs? the apartments appears to be cut off. as if its not an apartment so random sims walk into the apartment
    What do you expect to see? the whole apartment is highlighted, my sims and dog can go down the elevator. random sims dont walk into my apartment as if its the apartment lobby.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

    So the issue is that the apartments in Medina Studios is cut off. I think it might have happened when I tried to adopt a cat and it glitched out. I didn't know the issue happened until I saved to go to manage world. Neither my dog or sims can go outside. I try to take the dog for a walk and it says they can't go. Random sims walk into the apartment, because its registered as not apart of the apartment, and I cant ask the sims to leave either. none of the other apartments are like that, its just this one. I tried to take screenshots but its kind of hard to tell, but with Salim's apartment you can really tell it looks cut off.

  • I have the same problem with the appartments of Medina Studio's, super annoying

    What is your current game version number? 1.54.120.1220
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load either 910 Medina Studios or 930 Medina Studios, go into build/buy mode and edit the apartments. Once you exit (whether you save or not) and go into manage worlds, the selection outlines of both apartments will be out of wack. It happens to both apartments, even if you just edit one. It happens when you place rooms in either apartment. It happens when you just go into build mode and delete objects, without even editing the apartment layout, walls, etc.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When you load a new, fresh game, both selection outlines go around the entire apartment, as with all the apartments. But the minute you go into build mode, the apartment outlines go out of wack. And they stay out of wack going forward while playing the game. Repairing and reloading the game doesn't fix the issue.
    What do you expect to see? I expect the outlines to stay around the entire apartments, not just randomly slicing them both in half.
    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? Neutral/Not Sure 

    I have a fuzzy memory of this being an issue back when City Living first came out, but either a patch fixed it or I found a way around the issue--because my old saves have the outlines around the whole apartments still, even though I've remodeled both apartments extensively in old salves.

    However, it seems the issue is back (if I did indeed experience it way back then...), either since installing Island Living and/or Moschino. 

    These two apartments are the ones I've noticed it on the most, but they aren't the only ones. 

    However, it doesn't seem to happen on ALL apartments. Some of the apartments still have the selection outlines around the entire apartment just fine. 

    If someone knows how to fix this issue, or how to keep it from happening, please let me know!

    (FYI, I did try to search for other posts on this issue, but all I found were people wondering how to delete the chalk outlines from around crime scene bodies that are in some apartments...)

    @ceb6973 I am also encountering this visual bug. It's been there for several patches already. It does get confusing on how much of the apartment is owned by the Sim.

    @ceb6973 Merged your post with existing thread on the issue.

    Please press me too on the first page.
  • I have it happen on the lot next to the Lobo guy too. The blue line is weird in that one. I haven't checked any other lots.
