broken object stays broken after

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? My First Pet Stuff Cats and Dogs City Living Get Famous Seasons Dine Out
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? purchased a base game TV and it worked fine, until they broke it, which obviously happens sometimes. First, I tried to repair it, but it stayed broken even though my sim had level 8 repair skill. I was like, it must’ve been a small glitch, so I just replaced it. But then, it was still broken. Over time a few more objects like the sink and computer broke and would not be repaired or replaced. Even when I completely buy a new one, it breaks as soon as I place it.
What happens when the bug occurs? The object stays broken, no matter if you replace, repair, or buy a completely new one.
What do you expect to see? The broken object is fixed and you can use it again.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I’m always installing new mods or custom content but i’ve completely removed my mods folder and replaced it after checking and the bug still occurs with or without mods. It also started occurring after the latest patch.

    The best thing to do is backup your save and then try without mods on the backup of the save. If it works if you remove all mods, you need to find what's causing it and if you found it, you can remove just that, put the rest back and then go back to your regular save. All should still be there if you don't start/save a game without mods/cc installed

    If you save it without cc, all will be replaced and you need to put it in again.

  • @ladykatelyn13 Hm, haven't had an issues repairing things. I assume you did not upgrade anything ?

    Did you test a fresh save without mods or the same one ? Did you also delete your localthumbcache file or try renaming the user folder yet ?
  • @crinrict i haven’t messed with anything other than my mods because i’m afraid i’ll mess with something i shouldn’t. i’ve started a new save and the bug happened with the tv again. i’ll remove my mods again and try that but if i do, when i add them back, will the stuff i use have to be replaced in bb and cas?

  • @crinrict thank you very much! i’m not great with using files and stuff yet, so i’ll find a video to teach me this stuff and i’ll let you know how it goes.
