Re: System error when placing lot

I'm having a very specific issue. I recently built a house and played around in it. I took some pictures with my sims and placed them on the wall (this is the issue). I saved the house to my library and deleted the save as i wanted to start over. I tried to place the house on the new save on a new lot and when placing it says "system error." and wont place. From what i've read this is because of the photos on the walls. Unfortunately the save in which i built the house is deleted so i cant go and delete them in order to place my build. Is there a way to delete them in my files? I spent ages on this house and could ready use the help!

The photos may not be the cause of the issue. If you use mods/cc,try moving the whole mods folder to another place, delete the localthumbcache.package and then test to see if the issue remains without mods/cc there.
Also, try placing the home on another lot in the save game and see if the issue remains.

Hello, I tried to save my house to the gallery so that I could place it on my other save but it just shows up on my own profile and not in my saved gallery. When I go to my other save and I try to place the plot it just says “system error”, and it has done that in whatever save I am on, I even tried to make a whole new game save. I deleted most of the debug items since I heard that that could be the problem and I also moved all my mods from my mods file but nothing works. Please help

If you have any photos on the walls that your sims have taken, try removing them, then test to see if the issue remains. Also if you have the Lasting Legacy Family Portait, try removing that and see if that helps.
