I can't but any retail lots. When I try to purchase them, none of them are available. The game see them as all owned when they are not.
If I do a folder refresh (delete the The Sim 4 folder) and load a brand new save then I can buy retail lots, however, if I try to play in one of my backed up saves or another player's save file that I downloaded then I cannot buy any retail lots again. Previously,I could in all the save files I tried.
This continues to happens even after I removed all mods, did a folder refresh, and then finally completely uninstalled and reinstalled then reinstalled the game. I also tried a game repair and cleared all of my origins caches. Nothing except a brand new fresh save file addresses the issue.
- @Cowplant-Snacks I tested one of your saves (not sure if it was the correct one but it didn't look like a new save) and I checked some of the retail lots. A few seem to be owned but you can just sell them through the main menu and then there's one unonwed one in Mt. Komorebi which I had no issues buying.
Maybe you could add some screenshot with which ones you have issues with ?
