Funny shapes in world screens, should I be worried ?XD

Guys guys help xD

Weird Unidentified Flat Objects(UFOs xD) have appeared on my world pictures, ill show you ;p

^This one appeared just yesterday, after I went on a camping trip ;p

^This one was there for a very long time, but I always thought its just an oversight or something, until recently I realized its not ;p

 

And this one appeared after I moved and edited the house marked with yellow arrow from its previous spot marked with orange arrow. I tested it and whenever I place that particular house anywhere this UFO appears ;p

Now the third one appeared in my test save world, and afterwards my gallery menu went unresponsive and later one of the households I was testing just stopped working at all, my sim just kept standing there and nothing would move him not even reset the object ;p I asked on steam and I was told it might be a sign of early save corruption, that didnt matter much cause it was just a test save anyways ;p

BUT The first two are from my original save which I play since 2018, first one appeared yesterday the second was there since forever ;p but the game runs fine so far.

The way I play my game is I slowly make more and more families and fill up the world since 2018,  My question is should I worry about them ? Considering I played through many updates and DLC's and plant to play through many more. Should I be worried about the shapes assuming I want to play on the same save game for the foreseeable future ;p

I currently have all the DLC's except For Rent, Lovestruck, Hobbies, Fairies and Adventrue Awaits. 

My save game size is currently at 32Mb

My sim count is at around 100

And I have around 20 Clubs

My question is should I be worried and reload back a few days, or can I just ignore it ?;p

And also what causes this and how to avoid it ?

Thanks and much love, Fairy<3

    HI FairlyFairyXOXO​ 

    Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    • Press Windows-Key + R
    • Type: DxDiag
    • Click on Save all Information.
    • Attach the Text File to your post

    Do you maybe have a second computer you could install the game and the save on to check if the same issue occurs to rule out an tech issue ?

    Just to let you know, it might take a while since I just realized that old laptop could possible have information I need to unlock my yahoo email which holds the keys to half my games ;pp Including the sims ;p

    Also the shape number 1 is gone after I made some changes to one of the lots, so I am starting to think this might be just some minor graphical glitch that happens when game is taking shots of the lot to later display them in the world view.

    I am a bit shy about posting DxDiag, how much of stuff I watch/use is it going to show ?;p

    Sorry for my wonky english I am not a native speaker, and sorry for being a noob about DxDiag ;pp

    Cheers :)

    Ok so I have a lil update, I didnt try on the other computer yet, but I tried to move lots between save files and it looks like whenever I place these particular lots, the weird graphic shapes pop up in the world map view, but after editing the lot and saving it, they disappear, however they sometimes reappear after a few new edits to the lot, so it might suggest it has to do with auto screenshots taken during saving right ?

    Am I the only one who has this ?;p

    The DxDiag might show if there was for example an issue with your graphics drivers but it seems it might be a problem with the lot itself.

    Could you upload the house to the gallery and post the names here ?

    Not yet, sorry I am currently looking into my files to see if it could be some old cc's. I think this is going to be a long one, plus I have a hard time finding time to test stuffs.

    I havent tried reinstalling drivers either, cause for the first time in a few years I dont have any stutter issues in the sims, so I dont want to touch anything and mess that up, sorry 😶
