Objects on Diagonal not working/Eco Upgrade parts not Registering

Hello I'm not sure if anyone else is having there issues but I figured I would ask.

Issue One: I created a Micro House with 30 titles and had everything working well. Then after the updates the objects I have on diagonals stopped working and my game is dropping a lot of frames whenever I try to enter Buy/Build mode. I really don't know why this is happening the sim can reach the object but it can't use the object. I have tried turning off and on move objects but this doesn't seem to work either.

Issue Two:  Eco upgrade parts are not registering that I have them in my inventory. I made 6 and was trying to upgrade my sink, which it told me I needed 4 to upgrade. When I tried to upgrade the sink the option told me I was missing the Eco upgrade parts. I placed them in and out of my sim's inventory but it still didn't register that my sims was carrying them.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for your time and help!

    Issue #1:

    • There's a post about diagonal walls that you may want to check out: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Having-a-problem-with-diagonal-walls-after-the-update/m-p/9193285#M30597
      You could add your information there and see if others are seeing the same issue.
    • Can you please add a screenshot of what you're running into with the diagonal walls - both any error message in Build Mode and in Live Mode. 
    • Run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. Make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base-game first, then run through each of your expansions/packs). See if the issue is still there.
    • Do you have Mods/CC in your game? If you do, please try removing them in the manner below and see if the issue is still there: (click on the spoiler tag for directions) 
      Spoiler

      Please try the following in this order without skipping any steps, even if you’ve done some of these steps already:

      • Exit your game then exit Origin. Drag the Mods folder from your 'The Sims 4' folder onto your desktop (for future reference) then delete the localthumbcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder. (When you restart the game it will automatically create a new Mods folder.)
      • Next please run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. Make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base-game first, then run through each of your expansions/packs).

      Do not re-add any of your Mods or CC at this time. Please then restart your game and do not enter your previous game-save but begin a new game. See if the issue is present in this new game-save.

      If this fixes the issue you can re-add your Mods/CC one at a time to see which were conflicting with the function/causing the glitch - but do not re-add the old Resource.cfg file from the old Mods folder, as it is possible for it to have become corrupted. If you have a lot of Mods or CC you can do so by via the 50/50 method. Let me know if you need directions on this.

    • If all of this doesn't help, please upload your lot ot the gallery and provide the name of the lot here along with your gallery username if it's different than it is here. Then I could test in my game.

    Issue #2:

    • I just tested in my game and first I needed to make the Eco Upgrade Parts, which it sounds like you did. These parts should then show up in your Sim's Personal Inventory (not the Household Inventory). The Personal Inventory is located here:


    • Your Sim can then click on the sink and choose to do the upgrade. My Sim was able to do this. The Sim will need the appropriate handiness level plus plumbing upgrade parts to do some of the upgrades, but some of the Eco upgrades were also available to my Sim with lower handiness and no plumbing upgrade parts. It sounds like this is the type of upgrade you're trying to choose from your description. 
    • Can you take a screenshot of the Sim's Personal Inventory?
    • Do you see the upgrade parts in the Personal Inventory?
    • If you have Mods/CC, please see if, after you follow the directions in the spoiler tag above, this issue persists or is gone also.

    Hi @FranklyDarling,

    As @SheriGR and @Bluebellflora already pointed out, we already have a couple of threads about these bugs. In order to keep the forums clean and making it easy to find certain topics, we highly recommend posting in the relevant topics instead of creating a new one.

    Please leave a "Me Too" and examples in the linked topics and we'll have a look 🙂 Thank you for understanding!
