Is it just me?
I sometimes have this frequent popup message that tells me "one or more build items have been removed" and I noticed that one of the build mode items I use often is gone, but it wasn't just that that...
I removed the mods/cc and the issue is still there, while I even tried logging out and back into my account and the problem still lingers, I own many dlc's, not all of them but many. High School Years is one of them as well as Spa Day
@ZeldaPrissy Thank you for that information and testing with the Mods/CC removed. Were you able to read through the links to the potentially related issues in the message above - message #4? I was wondering if you noticed that I edited into that post the information my friend saw when testing this in his game with his Sims (he is also the one who was getting the message about removed items). We were wondering if you could confirm if this is the same as what you are seeing in your game in regards to the nails.
The screenshot you just sent is apparently function added by a Mod.
So since the time you purchased the high school pack and had the bonus content from it in your game, has there been any change in what computer your game is loaded on?
Is the the account you purchased and downloaded the 'early order' through/on the same account you're using now?
to your last question, yes I'm using the same account, as for the second to last question, I'm not sure if I understand. Currently I removed all of my mods so the screenshot was the cheats option which I assume is used for the base game including dlcs. For the build and buy, I was confused the entire time, I just purchased the High School Years pack, and the gaming chair, wireless speaker and LED panels just automatically came with it. I don't know whether I had to purchase those things as well.
@ZeldaPrissy I apologize... I just found out that with the "Pack Cheats>Expansion Packs" cheat that pie menu will come up as follows: testingcheats on > Pack Cheats>Expansion Packs > Then you shift-click a sim in live mode to bring up the following options (I have all packs, no Mods/CC):
So it appears that is normal behavior if you have added that cheat.
As far as the chair, I'm confused, as when I Google this I can confirm that the chair is part of the early purchase bonus content... if purchased by September 8, 2022. If you just recently purchased the pack, and did not purchase it by September 8th, I don't understand how the chair got in your game, and if it was downloaded within something that would explain why it was removed, as it would be something that is not content that's attached/included with your High School pack purchase?
Also, I was made aware of a Mod that appears to possibly address your nail bug. It was mentioned in a 'luthienrising forum post', which was shared on EA AHQ (thanks for that, @MapleSimmer ).
It's called "Spa Day Female Nails Restore" by MasSIMo.
So this post would describe the problem I'm currently having and its so frustrating that it makes me want to throw my pc out of the window. (please excuse my anger issues) https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Household-Build-Items-Removed-when-Playing-and-I-own-Everything/td-p/8481631
@ZeldaPrissy I'm so sorry for your frustration! From all of the links & info mentioned in this thread about 'reasons why' this message would pop up for some folks & in some situations, I've learned some things myself.
Personally, I've even found that there were times where I added a debug item while building a home that doesn't actually 'stick' (like certain debug items that are attached to an interaction), and I've been confused about why it was removed when I placed the home in a new location. I've also found that there are some here-and-there items that were bonus content items that I never qualified for (for instance early purchase items, 'gift' items from before I had a pack, etc.) that I was confused about 'why they were removed' when I placed a lot or Sim/household... since I owned all packs. Just to add to the list of confusing reasons, I thought I would mention those, as I don't think I did before.
Anyway, whichever are your particular reasons for the 'removed items' message, I hope things clear up for you, and that there will be some workaround methods that you find through the posts and information in this thread. Also, there are some great recommendations that EuphorialQueen and Crinrict made in the thread you shared.
Thank you for your patience and trying things and reading through the information. And, again, I'm sorry for your frustration.
