Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you launch the game and enter the Brindleton Bay world and preview some households. What happens when the bug occurs? This bug occurs when you enter a world or preview some houses a picture of a grey Llama shows up on the screen. I am not able to play with the household that has the grey llama, but the household is still saved in my saved households. I also had builds saved previously and ever since the llama issue they have disappeared.What do you expect to see? When entering the world, I expect to see no grey llamas on the map. When I preview saved households, I expect to see the household preview in the bottom left corner and the build highlighted on the map. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure&nbsp;‌When I enter Brindleton bay there is an image of a grey llama on the map. When I try and preview some households the grey llama shows up on my screen. Ever since this started happening I noticed that some of my builds have disappeared but the households who live in those deleted houses are still saved.&nbsp;I have tried to repair my game, clear cache and nothing has worked.&nbsp;This is very frustrating, and I would like to get this solved as soon as possible.&nbsp;

@coconutlime77  Have you removed your mods/cc ?You might need to have to reload a backup if you saved the game this way.

I have not removed mods or cc. What if i want to keep my mods and cc in the game though?

If i need to reload a backup, how would i do that? I've renamed one of my saved files to an earlier version and that didn't work either.

This problem just started to happen when i moved the sims from my mac to my new pc laptop, could this be a part of the problem?

@coconutlime77 Mods and CC get outdated with patches and wanting to keep broken mods will break your game. You need to check your mods/cc with every update to make sure they are all uptodate. You can of course use them but I don't recommend using the ones the ones that break your game.

Moving over saves should not break your save. Are they still ok on your Mac ? Did you add any new mods/cc after moving over ?

The game is still on my mac and I tried to play it there and the same thing happened with the llamas on the map and my builds were gone. I haven’t downloaded any new mods/cc either.

how do I check for broken mods and cc?
