"Can't compute cost"

I was building a home earlier, and was putting down a little porch, I moved the section to the back to resize it and went on building. Later when I went to delete the piece it said "can't compute cost"

I tried deleting the piece, moving the lot(it would not let me), putting a wall on it and then trying to delete it...nothing I tried would delete this piece. It would not let me save and place the lot, same thing ..could not compute.

Maybe just a one time glitch, but I had to end up deleting that save file, which was a new one anyways, so not a big deal at all. I did exit the game after deleting and repaired my game.

Anyone ever have this?

    Wow that is exactly it, the only mod I have was for a pose for a Sim I shared to the gallery sometime ago...I guess I should remove that?! Wonder if I then have to repair the game again..the house is gone, it went with the save file...but would hate that to happen again and lose a build.

    Thank you so much!


    It wouldn’t hurt (I don’t know if it’d help either though.)

    I just happened to remember the specific error message. I’m glad I could help!

  • @QueenMercy Thank you again!!!! I did post over in HQ, but it seems to be working fine now since I repaired and deleted that file, I appreciate your help!
