For anyone who wants to fix this by yourself:
1. Locate your "ReticulatedSplinesView" file in your "The Sims 4" folder (the same place for your mods folder)
2. Open the file with a hex editor (I use HxD which is free)
3. Search for "1D 10 01" and replace them all with "1D 10 04" (datetype is hex-values)
4. Save the file and start your game; the new item highlighting that was previously stuck should be gone
@elelunicy Thanks for posting. I highlighted your suggestion as workaround until it gets fixed.
@elelunicy, I hold you completely responsible for the result in this image!
I must say I was quite surprised it found literally hundreds of instances of the value you have told us to replace!
:eahigh_file: THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Macs are probably different and the program won't work.
Do you have access to a PC ?
- We fixed an issue with the Activities and Skills filter in Build Mode that was preventing the gold “something is new” highlight from properly clearing itself.
This issue has now been fixed in Patch 1.15.55
I'm going to leave the workaround as solution since it's handy anyways to get rid of the new flags.
fixed for me 🙂
if i do this, will anything that take out that item thats suppose to be there or it will be be there, be not highlighted.
If you use the workaround from the other page, the one that uses a hex editor on a file, it will remove the "new" flag from every object and every room, even debug and hidden objects. It will only remove the flag, no objects will disappear. I have used it multiple times because when you get a new pack it will come with rooms and they also keep their highlight no matter what you do and it annoys me.
I'm going to lock this thread as this issue has been resolved.
There is however a new one which can be found in this thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-CL-Highlighting-of-new-items-stuck-in-Decorations/td-p/5676330
Please continue posting there.
I've also posted the workaround there
