[OPEN] [GRO] Treehouses can't be built in community lots

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.96.397.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Growing Together , Seasons, Snowy Escape, Get to Work, Get Famous, Eco Lifestyle, Cottage Living, Discover University, City Living, Island Living, Get Together, Cats and Dogs, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, StrangerVille, Dream Home Decorator, Realm of Magic, Spa Day, Vampires, Parenthood, Tiny Living Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, Nifty Knitting Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Vintage Glamour, Toddler Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Perfect Patio, Movie Hangout Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Bust the Dust, Backyard Suff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can try to build a treehouse in any community lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? My Sims can finish the treehouse when at their house, but they can't finish it when building it in a park or any other community lot. They are finishing it, but the house looks unfinished. The enclosure cannot be seen after it is built. When they finish it there is just the platform and interactions but they can not perform it. They can not climb the tree etc.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a finished treehouse in community lots and interact with it.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

In screenshot 1 you can see he is building a treehouse at his home lot and finishing it seamlessly. In screenshot 5 you can see built treehouse but looks like unfinished. There are interactions but he can not perform them as in screenshot 6.

    I had a similar problem initially (placed the treehouse at the WIllow Creek park) but the treehouse loaded properly once I travelled elsewhere and reloaded into the lot.

    I can confirm that I'm seeing the same thing. I placed a treehouse on the Oasis Springs park lot and when my sims finished building it the usual options for a completed treehouse are there, but they can't do them and the treehouse only looks partially built. This is in a mod (and cc) free save. I have all the packs but Modern Menswear and my game version is PC 1.96.397.1020.

    Best regards,

    I can confirm that after leaving the park and returning, the treehouse was fully built and had all the usual interactions on it. Thanks for the tip @Legitimatetea

    @Legitimatetea Thank you I can confirm also. After leaving and returning I can use it fully functional. But still, it's a bug or something I guess

    @Legitimatetea     Hi!  I see the same and agree it's still a bug.  One thing some friends and I noticed is that if you build the tree house and add the slide / pole  updates before traveling, the treehouse reverts to completely not built when you go back to the lot.  The slide and pole will still be there but the treehouse has no floor or enclosure visible and the crate and boards come back.  It definitely needs to be fixed.

    Had the same problem (treehouse looks unfinished with enclosure missing and options available but not working) on the rental lot in San Sequoia on PS4. It was the second treehouse I had built in the game, and the first time building on a lot other than my home one.

    It was also the first time building a treehouse with help from other sims (specifically, another adult sim and 3 child sims). Before I saw this thread, I figured the problem was a bug in registering the progress due to the sims' help speeding up the build time but maybe it's got something to do with not being on the home lot instead. 

    (I have all dlcs except for luxury party and any CAS kit. Version says GP12: 1.assets.live2-console-gp12.22 )

    Edit: Reloaded game and full treehouse was there. Thanks for the fix @Legitimatetea and for starting thread @AuroraLuci! (:

    Yeah, I had some San Myshuno Sims build a treehouse in the Oasis Springs park. They added a slide pole before they left and it’s not usable, alas.

     I’ll try deleting it and rebuilding a new one.

    [edit] I can confirm that not adding any upgrades and traveling allowed the treehouse to function as usual, even if it looked weird when we left.

    if leaving a lot and returning later, can you add Upgrades?

    @Applecorn80 In my experience with this, you can add upgrades, but they don't show up unless you leave the lot and come back. Unfortunately, it's the same process for me as building the treehouse by itself, then leaving and coming back.
