Re: The sims 4: Highschool years bug

I have this problem as well. My game is repaired, I uninstalled all mods (only MC Command Center in my case), I don't use any CC and deleted the local thumbcache as I was advised in another bug report I did. I'm still testing the other issue I had but this one was happening as well and it persists even now.

To be more precise, these build&buy items became invisible/transparent a while ago:

High school locker (Locker from High School Years EP)
EZPZ shower stall - by Umpa Loofa (Shower from Discover University EP)
Barellwood shower (Shower from Horse Ranch EP)

As you can hopefully see on the images, lockers are still partially visible but the showers are completely invisible and only a shadow on the floor remains. When I click on them, their outlines appear (the second screenshot was made in the Foxbury university housing that came with Discover University so there should be a row of showers).

I don't have the University and Horse Ranch packs but I do have the High school years. I have checked ALL of my mods and updated them all but the problem still persists. The lockers are functional, they do work just fine. It's just that they are transparent. This became a bug a while ago like you mentioned and I have no idea what else i can do.

Yeah, this issue (sadly) probably isn't caused by mods and EA should take a look at it. :/ I didn't test the showers to see whether they work or not but I'm just building university housing for my sim and I can't use the showers I can woohoo in because they're just shadows on the floor which looks awful lol. I did test lockers numerous times because I play active high school all the time and they work, so same.

@luthienrising Okay, I've done as you said and both issues disappeared. What should I do now though? If I understand things correctly, putting the old The Sims 4 folder back to Documents will restore my progress but the bug will reappear again? Do you have any advice what to do? I'd like to keep one save I play the most an stuff I had in my gallery but that won't probably work?

@Maljian Next step is to see if the new, fresh, mod-free, no-cache folder solves your issue in your previous save. Copy the save files out of the old folder into the new folder and see if the bug is resolved.
