Re: Unable to put harvested items in fridge

@Obnoxious_Mo Did you try renaming the user folder and deleting the localthumbcache file ? User files are usually not touched when uninstalling

  • @crinrict I don't actually have a file named localthumbcache. I have a file for online. I do have quite a bit of lastCleanException.txt files.
  • @crinrict I can try but the file says its just for an onlinethumbnailcache. should I create a folder for local or change the name for the online?

    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.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    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 and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • 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.

  • @crinrict So as it turns out the bug wasn't as intense as originally thought. Apparently my game had a glitch with my sims inventory where anything and everything in it I couldn't place in the world, I couldn't use and I couldn't sell. I basically ended up selling everything off in the inventory and starting over and now it's letting me move the items in and out of the inventory.

    I do want to thank you for taking the time to help me out with everything and trying to figure it out!
