Please help me! After the most recent patch(06/15/2017 1.31.37.1020) all of the object items in build mode are completely gone. Nothing shows up, not even in the household inventory. I've tried the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat, and nothing happens. What's weirder though is that all of the CAS items are just fine, it's only the objects that have the problem. Please help me, I haven't been able to play since!

So if you keep the mods out and start a new game, it works fine but if you put the saves back (not the mods), it's borked again ? If so, would you be willing to share your save game ?If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload. Please make sure to name the zip file with your user name and a tag-word of the issue.

After an update no items are available to buy in build mode yet everything else works.

HI @DalloonTballoon and @flowersinthebody

are you guys using any mods in your game ?

If so, please try removing those.

If not, try repairing the game through Origin by right-clicking on the base game and choosing repair game

Happened to me, exit the game and go into origin to update the game again.

It just didn't update correctly.

Okay, I've tried to repair the game, and uninstall & reinstall it, but it hasn't worked. Now, when I try to click on build/buy mode, it sends me back to live mode.

Hi @flowersinthebody

are you using any mods ?

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)

Tray Folder

Screenshots/Videos/Custom music

Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)

Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....

Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Yes,

I've just finished doing these steps, but now when I try to go to build/buy mode, the grid appears on the Lot like it's about to change, but after around 3 seconds it changes back to live mode before I can even see if the items are back up there.

Did you try a new save for testing purposes ? Same thing ?

Okay, I've done a new save, and while I am able to successfully go into build/buy mode, the items are still missing.

And you didn't put any of the files back ? This is on a fresh user folder still ?
