Missing Baby Bassinet
Hi, I have recently been downloading some Custom Content from 'The Sims Resource'. I have downloaded clothes and furniture. On my current game, my sim was pregnant and had delivered her baby. However...

@CGrant56 What I meant in my post was that I deleted the CC bassinet, but the one that is supposed to be in the game, the Base Game version, no longer exists in my game. The spellcaster and vampire ones are there, even the alien one in debug - yet, even in debug, the base game bassinet is missing.
Yes, I did understand what you meant. This is the one you're looking for, correct?
It is a base game object so it should still be there. It's in kid's furniture. It would be highly unlikely to be the only thing missing if your catalog is bugged somehow. I would think that other things would be missing as well if not the entire catalog. It should be in the same relative position in your catalog beside the shelf. Mine is on the 3rd row but I have CC in the rows above so yours might be on the 2nd row.
Have you tried deleting your localthumbcache file? That will make the game generate new thumbnails and it should show up if the catalog was showing your CC item particularly if the CC bassinet you were using was a default replacement.
The other thing it could be is if you also have a separate hider file for the object. I've used those to hide the game beds in the catalog since I use separated beds instead. If you had one of those and it's still in your mods folder, then the bassinet would still be hidden. And some of those hider files will hide multiple objects. For instance, the one I have, hides all base game beds rather than having a separate hider for each one.
Hope this helps.
When the new patch came out, I deleted all of the caches, I have repaired the game, searched through my mods and even had all of my mods out and the bassinet was not there. I didn't download any hider, I only had a default replacement crib. I looked extensively for any sort of mod that might do weird things and through the catalog for the original, no luck.
I finally ended up making a new one with Sim 4 studio.
When you deleted the bassinet, did you have a baby in the household at the time? Did you have any babies in any household anywhere else in the save at the time you deleted the bassinet?
What I am thinking is that for all practical purposes, babies and bassinets are connected objects. Until a baby is aged up to toddler, it remains an object and becomes a sim on age up which breaks the connection between the two objects. The game does not allow you to move a baby to another bassinet. You are stuck with the one the baby is generated in until age up. Since the CC bassinet was a default replacement, then deleting the object with a baby still connected may have caused your babies to remain connected to the default replacement somehow and the game can't reestablish a connection with the game bassinet which is now blocking the game object. And worst case, it may have caused all babies still in your save that were generated using the default replacement object to disappear from your save since they aren't connected to the bassinet they were generated in when you go to live mode for the household. And it could potentially cause other problems.
So please check this. Do NOT do it in live mode. That might cause the babies to disappear which could lead to other problems. Do it by looking at the households in Manage Households. Just look at the family portraits there so see if there are any babies. Don't take them to CAS just yet. Because if that is the case and you have babies, there might be a way to fix it by moving the families out of their homes and then back in so it forces the game to generate new bassinets for the babies. Once the connections between the bassinets and babies are reestablished, then the game bassinet should show up in the catalog again.
If you have no babies, then it's something else. Since you''ve already repaired, have you tried starting a new game in a new The Sims 4 folder with no mods and CC in it to see if the game bassinet is there?
Hope this helps.
When I got rid of the CC bassinet, I didnt have a baby in the save I was currently playing. I couldn't find the base game bassinet, so I got the hospital one out of debug, because I didn't want the vampire or spellcastet one. My sim then had her baby and it was attached to that hospital bassinet at the house, where she gave birth. I have since created a new base game bassinet, moved baby to another household after placing the new bassinet in her house and after going into play mode and then back to manage worlds, I put baby back in her household and she was then in the new bassinet.
Idk what happened previously, but like I said, I fixed the issue. Thanks for your attention.
