  • Hello.. thank you for your response..  upon trying to get in my house.. I did find out.. If I went to visit a neighbor..  and when I went back home.. it worked  

  • Hi, all!

    I wanted to add on my issue that was solved with this in case someone else runs into this problem, too, because I couldn't find a post with my specific problem.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Sometimes
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Animal Hats, Life of the Party, Holiday Celebration, Up All Night, City Living, Seasons, Spa Day, Vampires, Fitness, and Movie Hangouts.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug happens randomly and sometimes only affects some items, while others it affects the whole home.
    What happens when the bug occurs? I can see my Sims, my home's walls and bare windows, interiors and exteriors, as well as all floors, but some or all of my furniture will be invisible. It cannot be clicked on, seen, and it even affects the wallpapers and flooring. Foundation items remain. Exiting the game does not fix it, nor does entering build mode. I can see all items and do all building in build mode.
    What do you expect to see? I should be seeing the home I just finished customising in build mode. That is usually when it starts, but not always.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? cas.fulleditmode to change the Sims gender two life stages ago. Have exited and played many times since running it and only changed that one feature.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure


    But the solution listed above works for this issue. I simply took my household on a trip to the nearby lounge and straight back to their apartment and all of their items were visible and usable. Just wanted to throw it out there in case anyone else is stumped!

    I'm just seeing this now but I've also experienced the problem. What triggered it for me was when a guest was over and done something inappropriate three times resulting in them getting kicked out, after the kick out this issue happened. This happened to me a long time ago.

    If anyone is still seeing this, could you possibly share a save file? Feel free to DM the link to me, thanks for the help!

    Edited by EA_Mai: see this post by crinrict for a possible workaround. If you are willing to share your save with us, we would ask you to do that before trying the workaround.

  • @arlandroid I’ve also experienced this issue multiple times on PS4, the first time being after I renovated the Umbrage Manor lot in Willow Creek. The family afterward wouldn’t recognize the lot as their own & spawned outside around the neighborhood instead. I’ve used the workaround of traveling from & back to the lot while playing as the household who lives there to rectify it.
