Can't select venue for wedding events

@NessieAlways Sounds frustrating. I can suggest a few things to try...

Please make sure your game and packs are fully updated (click spoiler tag for directions):

Please then try running a game repair. Let it run through all of your packs, then see if the issue remains:

If the issue remains, you said that if you open a new game save the issue is not there? Perhaps there is a Mod or CC issue that is caught up in cache that made it hard to identify if removing your Mods/CC fixed the issue. To confirm this, please do the following (spoiler tag), and test in a new save to see if the issue is still gone. If you open your current game to confirm if the issue is gone, however, with the Mods/CC out of the game to test, make sure you don't save that game that you opened, or it could cause loss of content you want to save. 

If the issue is gone without the Mods folder/content in the game, and after removing that localthumbcache.package file, you can then start checking for what Mods/CC are causing the issue, whether any have updated versions that may fix it. You can also check the 'broken Mods/CC lists' here:

Thank you for your reply! 

I've already fully updated and repaired the game and packs. The issue is still there. 

Taking out my mods was the first thing I did since 99% of my errors are mod related, but not this one apparently. The issue still stuck around even with vanilla game and cache cleared. 

I'm pretty sure it's the save file it self. 

I even deleted the game and re-installed it and put the save file back in. Still happening. 

I started a completely new game and sped proposed a new couple. (No mods) It worked in the new game! 

I think I'm going to try to run the game without My wedding stories. I think there's a way you can do that. I remember doing it when I used the multiplayer mod with my friend and she only had base game. 

If not, I'm back to my debate on saving the sims to library and just placing them in a new world. I'm super attached to their relationships though and my save file is custom. I changed every lot and townie >__< or just biting the bullet and having my sims elope until I finish my legacy. 

@NessieAlways If you would like you could DM me and we could try you zipping and sending me the game save (I can give you a location to upload it to), and I could try it in my game, as I play without Mods/CC. 

I'm so sorry for your frustration! If you resort to a new game save you could try uploading as many homes and groups of friends/families as possible to your library into 'full' (8 Sims) households, then cheat in the relationships they had before. They should maintain the relationships with those that are uploaded within the same household, though, but uploading them to the library severs all other relationships. Below are some links to help with that process, if you're interested in trying it:

@NessieAlways Great! Also, please check this Bug Report to make sure that's not what you're seeing: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-MWS-Blue-square-when-planning-wedding/m-p/11376598#M209969

@NessieAlways Well... good news and bad news. I was able to see the same thing you did, I think. When I opened your game save I was able to select the attire, flower pal, ring bearer, (all wedding party options), guests, etc...

However, I could not select any officiant or venue (the options were blank in both cases). Note: I was told that this option will be blank unless you ask someone to do it:

I also tested with my original save file with an engaged couple (whom I have used before for a wedding challenge - this is them in a pre-wedding state). In their case, I found I was able select a venue:

@NessieAlways I've tried a number of things, including adding a wedding venue I made (a church built to work for wedding aspects) to the save. I went into the lot after it placed and changed the lot type to 'Wedding Venue', just to be sure, and it still did not show up as an option for wedding venues in the planner.

I also had a helper/friend test with your save in their game. They saw the same things you and I did - no venues show as options for weddings. However, they did point out that other types of event planning showed venue options, just not for weddings. They also pointed out that some lots that are normally locked had the lot type changed, and were wondering if there was a Mod you used for lot type edits or for other editing of the venues? For instance, he noticed that you had made the haunted house 'residential', and that the 'Tiny Home Residential' and 'Haunted House Residential' are now the only lot options there to change to when playing your save...

...Even though in an unmodded save that lot cannot be changed:

It's possible that if you used a Mod that changed some lot types that perhaps it broke the connection that's normally there to change/see the lot types for the wedding pack? For instance, my friend said on that haunted house they were not able to change it back to the original lot type. 

He also mentioned that perhaps you could experiment by testing in the save you created in which the venues appeared as normal ... you could test changing the "locked" lots with your Mod to see if the problem occurs again after doing that in that save?

Given the extent of the investment in detail you have in this save, perhaps it would be best to just have Sims elope in this save, since the wedding pack apparently cannot see lot types correctly as-is. You could save your experiences of a more involved wedding for a save you have not modified as much?
