Sims 4: Community Lots and Houses Missing or Invisible

Hi Every time I move a Sim into a House already made on the Sims 4, it is just a blank lot whereas on the Map it is a house and when My sim travels to a community lot, once again the lot is blank? ...

Are you using custom content or mods in your game ?
Did it ever work for you or was it like this from the start ?
Is it the same if you build your own house ?
What do Sims do when you let them act on their free will on the lot ? Do you have the feeling they can do stuff and it's just invisible to you or do they just stand around ?
Are you on a PC or Mac ?

1. I haven't used any custom content or mods.
2. Has only recently happened, been like this since the new update.
3. If I rebuild my house and the community lots they work.
4. Sims can walk around the empty lot but there are no objects etc so all my sim does is walk around and talk to other sims on the community lot.
5. I have an Acer laptop

Thank you for helping 🙂

Could you start a new game for testing purposes to see if you have the same issue.

    No.
    
    As in go to the main menu and click on the + sign in the upper right corner to start a new game. Make sure to save it under a new name so you don't loose the old one (or not save at all),

  Hey! I have the same problem, and starting a new game or switching between households does nothing.🤐 Unfortunately I saved my game in this state and now I'm kinda screwed 🤒

    Did you try a backup or just replacing the houses (if you still have them in your library) ?
    
    Do they disappear again if you re-place ?

  I’m having a similar problem..
  when i I got into edit town mode, I go to place to a house (already made) into a lot that doesn’t have a house on there. As I place the property on the lot, it processes but the house doesn’t show up on the map. It’s like it never placed or it’s impossible to place down.. I can’t even click on to the house after placing it down because it keeps showing up as it’s just a lot still..
  Someone help?!
