When putting down a lot from the gallery, I can not make any changes to the lot. It says OP Generation Fail. Please help me fix this problem.

Hi there! I just encountered this issue. Saving and returning to Manage Worlds then clicking back into the lot worked for me. I also noticed I was missing a lot requirement but added that and everything was resolved. Hope that helps.

This is happening to me in 2024.

@crinrict So far it seems like San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbor are the only two it is happening in.

You are amazing!!! The bug was driving me mad - this fixed it. Thank you so so much

Hi! I've also had this issue before when placing lots from the gallery and the way i fixed the issue was changing any and all platforms to ground level, effectively deleting them. For some reason it was interfering with the build; nothing else worked for me either, not going into manage worlds, not saving, not deleting any items, not even quiting the game entirely, super frustrating but thankfully easily solvable! Hope this helps for anyone else having this issue.

@XrisGirl Are you using custom content or mods in your game ? If so, have you tried removing those ?

Try removing everything and see if it then works.

If it does, narrow down which one it could be, by using the 50/50 method: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content

Does it work if ok if you build something ok ? Does it happen with any lot you download or just specific ones ?

@XrisGirl Which fixes did you try for it? Does it delete if you create a room around it?

@crinrict Don't know what is going on. I have tried to find a solution, found other people with same problem but no solution to it.

I just got Sims 4 on my computer. I don't use mods or cc. I went to the gallery, put an apartment on lot, and tried to change the rooms. I got OP Generation Fail, it won't let me decorate, change anything in apartment. I have played this game for years, I have created content. Just got a new computer, downloaded the game, and can't remodel homes from the gallery. @luthienrising

@XrisGirl Are these apartment buildings or normal lots ?
