Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.50.67.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? get together, get to work, vampires, spa day, outdoor retreat, backyard, kidsroom, spooky, cool kitchen, perfect patio, holiday, grim's guitarSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? go to a lot in build mode. open gallery. pick a lot with terrain paint. place it. furnished or not. no more terrain paint. What happens when the bug occurs? all terrain paint is gone.What do you expect to see? the terrain paint to come with the rest of the gallery lot.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 on the left the original, with paint, on the right the gallery item (creator: Maxis) without terrain paint.

Ok, what I found is that it seems to have to do with lotsize:- if the placed lot is bigger then the used lot, terrain paints disappear- if the placed lot is same or smaller, terrain paints are placedTried this now with a few different world lots and a few different gallery lots on them.In the past, Sims 4 didn't have this behavior. I often build on a larger lot and then move to a smaller one. (having some extra space makes it easier to build)

OK. Let me test that really quickly. EDIT: Yup, that I can duplicate Tagging @BryonyRae so she can add this to her list.

@Ender_mBind I can confirm this issue in my game as well and will add it to our list.

I have a similar issue with terrain paints disappearing but it's when I put the build on the exact same lot but in a different save.

i did a cache reset, i did a repair, i did a new game, none worked.

Do you have lot name/creator handy that has a house with terrain paint so I can test this ?

Seems to work fine for me. Looks the same.

I assume you don't have any issues with terrain paint ?

What kind of graphics card/chip do you have ? Do you have laptop mode on ?

I've got a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M on Win 10 Home 64 bit, i7, 16 gig ram.
Not using laptop mode. This issue developed somewhere in the last month (not sure exactly, didn't use the gallery for a bit) but wasn't there before.

Does it matter which lot you load it to ?

Is it only this lot you're having issues with or all randomly downloaded from the gallery ? I assume from your description it's all but wanting to make sure.

Also, as asked above, if you don't involve the gallery, do you have issues with terrain paint not staying ?

I haven't tried with your pack combination yet but will do so after lunch.

EDIT: Still have no issues
