  • This issue also extends to the Storybook Nursery Kit toddler blocks

  • Cannot change swatches on the Antique Blocks using the design tool. I just get an error message instead.

    This happens to me with the Nursery set kit nesting blocks. It is now just a shadow on the floor that I nor my sims can use.
    I don't know if I can add that save because it might've gotten corrupted.
