- @CutiPiiPenguin Update:
The first casualty from the build mode items icons was the Kava Bowl -Island Living.
PS. I'm using Linux.
I'm using Lutris to run Origin through a Windows partition.
I have reinstalled the game.
I have switched distributions of Linux from cinnamon to mint.
I have removed "cache" files.
Error is persistent 🤪 Just so you know, I have the same problem as @CutiPiiPenguin (I am also using a Linux computer (Ubuntu 20.04), with Lutris to run Origin)
All my saves are affected. At first, I thought It was a CC issue, so I tried to play on a clean install and the "Black squares" are still there even without any CC.
Also, some clothes, accessories or Build/Buy mode items are also replaced by a "black square" (mainly CC, but not all CC)
For me, it started on Saturday in the afternoon (Eastern Time). I think I installed Updates on my Ubuntu around that time too, but I remember it was working during the AM.
I hope it helps.
It's on all saves and I haven't been using cc recently.
Even if I make a new sim in cas the icons are missing.
Lot icons being large black squares on the maps makes the game even less playable.
I had the issue before and after recent Ubuntu updates. I'd say it's been almost two days that my icons have disappeared.
