Strangerville Households Missing (only)
Hi all. I haven't posted in years on the forum but am a long time simmer on the forums. Some of you may recognize my screen name.
Recently, somewhere between late February and March this year; my main save file I've had for the last 3.5 years has lost all the Sims in the Strangerville neighborhood, only. I have never played with that neighborhood or pack as of yet because I have been too busy creating, building and expanding my game with packs and builds. I started the Sims 4 era in Dec 2020 and so as you can imagine, I had a lot of content to play with at once. (I'm a builder first, then player at heart). That said, I didn't notice my game had this issue until recently when I accidently clicked Strangerville instead of Oasis Springs on the main menu and then I noticed it. Moreover, I then realized I hadn't seen those sims in any towns in a while. (They would show up at local restaurants and such).
I tried loading previous saves and a new save. They are fine. Its my current primary save file.
My max sim count is only 127 because I keep my save in order.
Older saves from before the late February are fine as well. New saves, fine the sims are there.
I did try repairing the game. That didn't work. I had hoped the next patch would resolve the issue, but todays 5/28 patch did not do it.
I suspect this is For Rent related...? I just had the thought, what if I uninstalled the Strangerville GP and reinstalled it?
Thanks for the guidance feedback and help....
I recalled a simmer on YT mentioning issues with SV with one of the recent patches, but I didn't even think twice about it.
I did just get the idea as i posted this that maybe I could uninstall just that game pack and reinstall and maybe that would fix the issue. It is ONLY SV households that shipped with the game missing, hence why I think it's a glitch or bug. However, I am having a very hard time finding info online about it, despite recalling that note from a comment on YT from a simmer.
Any suggestions? Any info you can direct me to? I don't want to continue to expand that save if that file is corrupt. It's odd to me that it's only SV.
Thank you all!
