Playground lot type and lot filter missing

My game updated with the new beanie colour swatch, the cute clam shell bassinet and the play pretend for children but is missing the playground lot type and the lot filter that got some simmers sighing with relief as it made searching for a lot type easier and faster. I have repaired my game and nothing has changed. How can someone get three quarters of an update? I feel very disappointed and wondering if there is anyone else out there with the same missing parts of the recent update. Now I am wondering if I should buy the new pack or wait until my 55th birthday and buy it as a gift. Maybe the BIG update in November will fix it.

  • If you use mods/cc,try moving the whole mods folder to another place, delete the localthumbcache.package and then test to see if the issue remains without mods/cc there.

    Thank you that worked for the lot type but the lot filter in the calendar is still missing.

    Actually still having trouble with the Playground lot type not appearing as my mods reappeared. I have been told to repair my game, that didn't work and I've deleted all my curse forge mods but no way am I getting rid of my Paid for mods but I will give your link a try

    It say you need an external or flash drive neither of which I don't have do not think I can complete this fix. I can do without after we all have for so long I even deleted the save I was using but it didn't make a difference maybe its in another save I started before the update maybe I'll go and delete that one too. Thanks anyway.

    I deleted all my saves and even tried the new boost. Automatic wasn't the problem, disabled wasn't the problem and enabled didn't make any difference. I may as well reinstall the entire game and see if that works. Going out of my mind right now. Its a Sunday morning I have the time. Thanks for the help.

    You don't necessarily need an external drive. You can just back it up to a different place on your internal hard drive. 

    It really sounds like some not updated mod is causing issues.

    Uninstalling game as I type and all my mods are up to date unless you think its UI Cheats or MC Command Centre stable pre-release 2025.6 the latest update not yet for public release. Cost me £3 a month but its nice to get the Pre-Releases.

    Evie-Jaye48​ The only way to know for certain a mod isn't the cause is to rename the mods folder and delete the localthumbcache folder. Note that any pre-release is use-at-your-own-risk.
