Re: [OPEN] Can't move into furnished homes

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? 1.53.115.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Get to Work, City Living, Dine Out, Parenthood, Kids Room Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a household whilst having another single elderly sim household simultaneously living in an apartment. Wait for them to die. Attempt to move into that apartment after they die.
What happens when the bug occurs? House can not be bought furnished although furniture is still there in map view. Furniture still there in build mode. Attempted to save lot to the gallery so I could bulldoze and replace. Option was greyed out. Had active sim visit, obviously couldn't enter house has no one lives there. Furniture has now vanished from map view and build mode. Have already followed these instructions (https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2015/07/lots-cant-be-bought-furnished/) but they are very likely to be outdated now)
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to move into an apartment despite the previous owner dying there. Overtime, this bug renders San Myshuno unplayable because eventually every lot would have had the last remaining sim die there. I do not want to accept 'refurnish every lot' as a solution.
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 

‌

Unfortunately I'm not sure if this has happened after the new 1.53 update, may not be due to the new update because people have complained about this for years, but it has never been fixed.

    @Skyler1802 Merging with existing thread. I don't think the issue is any different now than it was before.

    Did you try just moving in unfurnished ?

    Thank you @crinrict 

    Just tried to move in unfurnished, worked as it was supposed to unfortunately, the apartment had no furniture inside.

    @crinrict It was the apartment that I knew was giving me trouble - 930 medina studios. On the map view it looked furnished, but the furnished option was still greyed out.

    The other apartments, I could go into build mode, change one item and the apartment would appear furnished - just with a really low price. I saw just 70 simoleons for the furniture in one apartment! This little glitch makes it was easier for poorer families to move in

    @Skyler1802 Found an old save of mine which had some apartment lots emptied and yeah, seems you have to changed something in buy mode first, then buy it. I guess I should make it clear on my post with solution is for which issue (the visiting with another Sim is actually for the crime scene issue)

    @crinrict in your save, does the furnished price always return to the original furnished price? even if i sell and replace an item with an identical item, the price is different? much lower, never more expensive.
