Re: eco lifestyle
@virtuosummer, I understand being too lazy to do upkeep on Mods and CC, which is why I haven't used them since TS3! 😳😃 Mods and CC aren't' for everyone, and if you really want to continue using them, you really need to do the upkeep involved, as sooner or later you will have problems in your game! 😢 And if you already have some problems, they will increase over time as more patches are released (as well as new packs!). 😞
The patches released for the game on June 3 and 4 had extensive overhauls of several game systems, including the categorization of wall papers and flooring (for eco friendly, industrial, and flammable capabilities) as well as an inventory overhaul. Even if your problem isn't caused by outdated Mods or CC this time, in the future there will be other patches and you will need to get the updated versions of all your Mods and CC in order for them not to cause problems in your game! I've seen too many games messed up by outdated CC and Mods! 😮😢
Another important step is to regularly delete your localthumbcache package.file, as this will help remove unneeded and even corrupted bits left behind in your game. 🤨🙌 I only say this because I want you to get the most out of your game and prevent problems that can be solved! ❤️
This is why I don't play with Mods/CC anymore... I'm too lazy to do maintenance on all the CC items and Mods I know I would accumulate if I allowed myself to use them again! 🤭😇
However, I don't think Mods or CC are your problem here, thanks to your detailed instructions on how to find what you were seeing in your game! 🙂 I went to the Port Promise community lot and clicked on the Maker Space preview and tried the eyedropper as well on the walls... and got the same tag. I also do not have that wall swatch in my game either! (So this isn't a Mods or CC problem).
There could be a few reasons for the swatch both being called this and not appearing in your Build/Buy Swatches 🤔....1) it could be a bug; 2) it is possible that this is a swatch that is unlockable through one of the new careers when you level up your Sim. I tried all the cheats to unlock hidden items that are either unlocked through gameplay or that are found in Debug, but couldn't unlock anymore wall textures. However, I do know that at least with some CAS items that are unlocked by leveling up in certain careers (those in City Living, as well as the Stylist/Style Influencer careers there are some items that won't show up even with these cheats! While this doesn't usually happen to Buy/Build Mode career items, it is possible that these are different. I haven't played that far into the pack yet, nor have I heard anything about if walls textures can be unlocked through career gameplay or not with this pack. 🤔
And you are right in that the wall texture matches the new roof texture perfectly!
The good news is that you are not missing any wall swatches that at least some others aren't missing as well. 🙌 The bad news is that we don't know if this is a bug or if it is intentional. 😞
I have checked the Compiled List of Reported Issues in the Bug Reports section here on AHQ, but have not found any with wall textures, or their tags. Therefore, you should probably make a Bug Report on the subject to get the ball rolling. (If you give me the link to it once you create it, I will "Me Too" it and add my findings to it as well.🙂 Here is the link: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
But please do upkeep on your Mods and CC! 😇
