Tomarang world won't appear in manage worlds (not purchased)

Even though I haven't purchased the For rent pack yet, I know the world that comes with it should still appear in the manage worlds just greyed out and locked like Chesnut Ridge from Horse Ranch. However, it isn't even present at all on the manage worlds screen. I did have some issues with the ea app before loading into the game where it kept having to restart because the network servers weren't working. Eventually after opening the ea app I was able to update the app and apply the hot fix patch that came out yesterday.

I did have two mods installed one being Lumpinou's milestone cheat (add/remove milestones) and the other was the load on play but not active sims milestone fix. I already removed and deleted the rotational play fix that became obsolete. The two mods I kept were cleared by the creator for the 12/5 patch. Though I did still clear the mods folder and disable it for good measure. For fixes I've tried removing the mods, clearing ea app cache, and repaired the game with no results. I also created a new save to see if it would have to same issue and it did. The only thing I haven't tried yet was uninstalling and reinstalling the game which is the last resort.

Also, I wasn't sure if this was a game issue or another possible bug brought on by the hot fix update.

    When you purchase the For Rent expansion you will get the new world that comes with it.

    Then why do other unpurchased worlds show up? Is it because For rent is still really new?

    You should have a greyed out icon for it.

    If not. Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    I tried that even with the mods folder moved to the desktop and the localthumbcache.package deleted  in a new file the greyed out icon for Tomarang is still missing.

    It is not like it is of any use to you if it is there or not so I would just ignore it. If you eventually purchase the expansion and it then didn't appear that would be a cause for concern.

  • Have you had any luck? I'm running into this same issue and wanted to see if there were any solutions yet.

  • Just noticed I don’t have it either. Not that I really care, since, as @jpkarlsen @says, it’s not like it would do me any good as a locked greyed out circle. But it’s odd everything else is there and not this one.

    I’ve been playing mod free since the pre-release update. 🤷🏼‍♀️
