Downloading an Auditorium off Gallery does not download all 4 lots

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? version 1.92.145.1030 on PC
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Download an auditorium off the Gallery. Specifically mine is hashtaged #BrokenAuditorium1234
What happens when the bug occurs? When trying to download an auditorium lot the 4 way multipurpose lot does not have all the lots attached. The default Hall exists but the Formal Dance ( Prom ), Graduation & Career Day portions of the lots are missing. It seems by looking at the gallery other's are having the issue or uploading all 4 lot types just to be safe.
What do you expect to see? All 4 portions of a multipurpose lot download off the gallery.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

When trying to download or import an auditorium into a game save the lot does not recognize an auditorium as having 4 distinct lots. The 1st lot the Hall downloads but the other 3 lots Formal Dance (Prom), Graduation & Career Day all default back tot he Maxis auditorium. I have tried creating a new game save (multiple times), downloading the intended lot from my library (not the gallery), from Worlds Map & from inside the lot via, build mode. No matter what method used the lot will always have the default Maxis lot.

Interestingly when trying to download a lot off the gallery to test if all auditoriums are broken or just mine the lot shown on the worlds pop-up is the Maxis default lot, while MY auditorium was already placed on the lot. Image below.

After downloading a few auditoriums off the gallery to test the issue it happens 100% of the time. Furthermore the lot shown during the loading screen from Auditorium Active to say Formal Dance on the World Map MY auditorium is visible despite the fact that I've downloaded a completely different lot & when loading from the gallery download auditorium to the Formal Dance lot, which is still the Maxis default lot MY auditorium lot is still shown on the map.

I'm not sure how to explain this. I hope this report is understandishable.

  • I'm pretty sure that downloading the base auditorium, formal dance auditorium, career day auditorium, and graduation auditorium separately is how it's supposed to work. They are separate lot types, and you can have multiple of each and swap them out. For example, if I wanted career day to always stay as Maxis made it, but have different spring/summer/fall/winter formal dances, and use a graduation auditorium from the gallery, I could.

    For the thumbnails being wrong, have you deleted your localthumbnailcache and avatarcache from your sims 4 documents folder? They store old images (and other things), and could be responsible for showing the wrong thumbnail.

  • @iheartsandwiches I'm going to move this to game issues cause the main issue of this report works as pointed out above, each part is it's own lot type. They are all generic which makes it a bit confusing but essentially it's a sub-lot type working the same way as the community space from eco.

    If you can't get the world make thumbnail to work with above suggestion, please create a new report just for that.

    If you say so. I thought the Eco Lifestyle lots kept all 4 lots off the gallery.

    Did you test if it works for the eco lots ? There's a lot type fore each sub-lot type for that: Community space, community garden, marketplace, maker space

    I went to the gallery and downloaded a community space. That left community garden, market place and maker space at ea default so I had to download a separate lot for each of the 4 sub-lot types.

    I don't download a whole lot from the gallery but I don't think that was ever different.
