[FR] Wallpapers vanish when visiting rental lots

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Its always there, but only on certain lots. 
What is your current game version number? 1.105.332.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of it. 
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure actually as it it isn't every lot. But decorate a rental lot and then visit it with another household. 
What happens when the bug occurs? When visiting another rental household with a sim from a different household (haven't actually checked if it matters if they're a home-owner or a renter), all the wallpapers in the visited lot vanish, leaving white walls. Everything else is fine (I think, haven't checked ceilings) but the walls are white.  When I make the visited lot the active lot, the wallpapers come back. 
What do you expect to see? Wallpaper.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?  I do, but I've tried without and it still happens. ☹️
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I don't believe so. 

Yes the images are from the modded game, but as I said this still happens with the mods folder removed. ☹️

  • My wallpaper keeps disappearing in rental units when I switch to live mode. The wallpaper is visible when editing the property in build mode/ manage worlds, but when I visit the lot in live mode, all wallpaper is gone, and the walls are completely white.

    Thanks for responding, this is with mods, although the wallpaper being used is just normal sims 4 wallpaper.

    @PatternMoth If you remove all mods does it work? Exit Sims 4 then drag your Mods folder to your desktop. Then delete the file called localthumbcache from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, you can start the process of figuring out what from your Mods folder was causing it.

  • @JenExell This for For Rent rentals or vacation rentals as well ?

    As you say it doesn't happen with every rental, did you test multiple save games ?

    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.108.349.1020
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything but Batuu and a few kits
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Buy a rental unit and visit it to do maintenance.
    What happens when the bug occurs? There's no wall coverings like paint, wallpaper, etc.. on the walls in the rental units. Sims get the ugly decorated buff.
    What do you expect to see? I expect wall coverings.
    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. I noticed this after the Lovestruck patch

    There's no wall coverings in rental units after the Lovestruck patch.

    @crinrict residential rental don't display wall covering while vacation rentals do. The attached photos are labeled.

  • It's been a while since this post was created, but I just found out I have this problem too. I took out all the mods, cleaned all cache, repaired the game - sadly it didn't help ☹️

  • I had this problem today too, I don’t know if you’ve solved it by now but what worked for me was getting rid of the landlord. (making the landlord sell the property so that no one owns it and it’s just being rented out by tenants), hope this helps x
