Hello everyone. I'm having this issue which I know some other people are having too as I've read some testimonies online. Whenever I place a lot I've built on my own or somebody else's lot from the gallery, the lot gets placed but without some of the items that were inside it and some other items such as the mailbox and/or trees get misplaced some tiles away. Some of the items are debug but some others are not, so I don't think that's the problem. I think the bug also affects sims in create a sim as I've seen some sims on the gallery with their previews ruined, even though they're custom content free. You can recreate the problem by placing a lot and looking at it's value when resaving it on your own gallery or even by creating a house, saving and replacing it. I don't know how to fix this and it's driving me nuts. I've already tried clearing cache files, generating a new folder, repairing the game and even reinstalling the whole game but no fix as of yet. I'm on PC and not using any mods or custom content at the moment. All of my friends are facing this problem and can't play at all because their saves will get ruined forever. The game is unplayable and I can't try the latest expansion pack because of it. Please fix this soon and thank you in advance.

  • Hello again and sorry for the late response. I've been testing the game and it seems fixed now. I did a brief testing as I can't remember every item I placed but the value of the lot seems right and all the items I noticed disappearing last time are in place now. The gallery and previews all seem to be ok too. Thank you for your hard work. Have a nice day.
