Re: sims 4 - houses are non-residential

@wattssophi12 Does that happen in all your saves or just a specific one ? Are you using mods/CC in your game and if so, does it work if you remove those ?

  • @crinrict I’ve tried reloading the game and creating a new household and the same thing happens. When I try to “manage worlds” it says not available in this mode

    @crinrict Im having the same issue! I don’t use mods & don’t know what CC’s are, but I have every single house in every world with an orange exclamation point above it saying I can’t move anyone in because it’s non residential, even empty lots. 

  • I’m having the same problem and I just recently downloaded this game to a new laptop so I have no mods or cc and my lots are still saying they are non residential when I made my family only one apartment was residential so I could put them there and when I go to try to fix it the lots disappear. I tried fixing my game and everything and nothing is working. 

  • I have been having the same issue, I just got the game and I cant even put my sim in a house since all of them have the orange marks saying non-residential even though they are houses and empty lots.

    @toysoldierjames Did you already add any mods/cc to your game ?

    Was it like that from start ? Have you tried another save to see if it happens there too ?

    This is my first help, so I will try my best to help. I loaded in my game offline because I didn't want to wait for the update. When I loaded in instead of a sims with a continue button, it because a silhouette saying continue. Then I clicked into load save, below is what happened. I tried with a few different saves, it is the same.

    All my sims worlds became unavailable, since for some of them I have huge progress and many households. I didn't want to lose progress so I exited the game without saving. I tried relaunching, and the same problem persists.

    I am sure all the mods are still in-game, as a prompt pops up with the mods I use every time when I launch. But I still need to figure out if any are missing.
