Saving lots to own library broken?

Made some house lots that are worth keeping for future use and tried saving them to the my library part of the gallery. Even got the green box that says the saving was successful. But, when going into library to fetch one for use none of them were there. Am I doing something wrong, the green box notwithstanding, or is that function broken?
  • No photographs. Don't remember the CC, would need to check the originals. Does CC prevent the thing from appearing at all?
  • Thank you. Will check next time am in game, hopefully later today or tomorrow.

    I don't use any CC (or mods of any kind) and I don't know so much about CC, so I can't answer to CC related things (one thing I know about it is the thing that others have mentioned: if the creation includes CC, it doesn't show in the Library or Gallery unless the option "display custom content" is checked).

    To your question: Are debug items considered CC?
    No, they are not. I'm very often using debug items in my builds, and I haven't had any of the builds showing that they would have CC in them, when I have used debug items :blush:
  • Thank you all! A least de bug doesn't extend to debug. I don't use gallery/library that often so never think of display settings. Am hoping it is an easy fix. These lots are, in addition to wanted for use, a test run for a complex community lot that has CC paintings on many of the walls of the rooms which are important to the feel of the place.

    A while ago I also tested if taking out the photos/paintings would remove the wrench but it didn't. Somehow that lot was 'cc poisoned' then, even without the photos -.-
    But I never had that greyed out 'show custom content' box before. This is weird.


    I think I probably still had unseen CC in the build, which would have locked that box field. Still, weird when you have no idea what's going on.

    Don't have even a 20th of 250 photos or any other wall decoration. Odd how pictures would block a lot transfer. Turned out to be a display settings issue that I had no clue about.

    When I was playing on PC (before I switched to console) I could save Sims and Lots with mods and CC, but I had trouble SEEING them. They were THERE, but I had to mess around with settings and check boxes to be able to SEE them. In your problem solving research, I would focus on issues involving VIEWING more than SAVING. Good Luck!!!


    Thank you, thank you, thank you! That did the trick! Never noticed that gallery/library box, let alone checked it. Checked the box and all lots appeared, each attempt's worth. And over 50 sims, several of which are special favorites that I have no idea how to create again. It was like an instant explosion of content. You solved the unsolvable to me mystery! Such a small and simple yet vital thing.


    I don't just have trouble seeing my OWN creations, but I also have trouble seeing the full catalog of others. Some builders have posted videos showing the best setting to see all their builds. I am glad that I was able to help. I still don't have all of this figured out yet, but I am able to see more and more as I watch videos like this one. Good Luck!
