@crinrictno my issue has nothing to do with this linked thread. It's an issue with uploaded lots to my private library where I save all my created
Sims and lots. Nothing is shared, just saved up builds for later use in other worlds if I wish. Once saved/uploaded a lot, you were able to override these when you did new edits to an existing build like change furniture etc. and re-uploaded it. A message would pop up asking if you want to override the existing lot in the library. Now this overriding function doesn't work anymore and you have to upload the whole lot with the changes and delete the already saved one.
ETA: Once you you've made a new uploaded of the lot and again doing some changes while you're still on the same lot and save it again, then the message will come to ask you what you want to do since the template already exists in my library. But if you leave and come back, then you have to once again make a new upload because the game forgot it's already up. Before the game would remember your uploads, no matter if you leave and in what kind of build mode you are, not anymore though.
This is how the message looks. It's in German since I play my game in German.
I have exactly this problem (2022-02-02). I get the option to override or save as new lot, but neither option works. Did you solve it?
Troubleshooting I've done so far: removed/disabled mods, tried repairing the game and removed cache files. Saving lots to my private gallery worked fine until yesterday.

@princess_JM_666I can confirm this. It was working again for a while as it should but now the issue is back. I mainly have this issue with downloaded lots from the gallery. Example: I download a lot from the Gallery (mainly lots created by Schnuck) and replace an existing lot in game. I do my changes, rename the lot to its original name. I reupload it to my private Library. I do changes again like rearranging and replacing furniture and so forth. I save and reupload again. Game will ask if I want to override the already existing SAVED lot. I click yes. I exit the game. Later I log back in and visit the new lot. I do so more changes and save/reupload again. Game forgets that the lot is already uploaded and saves it up as a new uploaded lot without overriding. I have to delete the already saved-up lot to prevent doubles.
Me too, I thought I was overriding and now i had like 5 public copies of one lot and had to delete, which sucks cus people downloaded in each of them >=0
Strange thing is that this happens to me only with downloaded plots from the gallery. And I also noticed that it makes a difference whether you download it right into the game or save it to your private library first BEFORE placing it into the game.
Example:
Say I want to place a new lot in NewCrest. I chose an empty lot and click on the build button. Once the empty lot is loaded, I open the Gallery to find a nice house to download directly without saving it to my private library first. I do my changes and AFTER that I upload it to my library. If I do it this way, the game will remember the plot on the next visit and changes made after placing, the game will ask if you want to override the already exsisting uploaded lot.
BUT if I'm in world view mode and open the Gallery from there to find a plot to save it to my library first and then load an empty lot to place the saved lot from my library instead and not from the public Gallery, then the game will forget the already saved lot in my library. You can then do changes to the lot as much as you want on each game reload, the game will always forget that it is already uploaded and will NOT ask you if you want to override, but just upload a new copy. I tested this behavior a few times now and I hope that what I wrote makes sense to someone.
