Can't select venue for wedding events
Unable to select a venue when trying to create a wedding event. I'm having trouble getting any type of venue to show up when selecting time and place for a wedding event. I own wedding stories. ...

@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:

@SheriGR I'd be willing to try and DM you!
I'll message you shortly!

@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
- @SheriGR Yes I had seen this one before I posted on here, but as you saw it's different.
@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?
- @SheriGR I think at one point I did use a mod for changing venues. I think when HSY came out and some of those I think I just placed the venue through the gallery in Manage worlds not through Build Mode.
I wonder if I'm able to find the mod I used if I'd be able to fix it...
@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:
- @SheriGR Thank you so much for taking your time with this!
I don't think I had an officiant yet actually so that should be normal
the Venue part is what's been breaking my head for the last week >__<
