University Housing Disappearing

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? 1.62.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get To Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Parenthood, Strangerville, Realm Of Magic, Luxury Party, Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Spooky Stuff, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Kids Room, Backyard Stuff, Vintage Glamour, Bowling Night, Fitness Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Moschino, Tiny Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Young Adult Sim living in Student Housing at University. In my case it's Britechester and the housing is Drake Hall. Load up the game and wait for the world to load in.
What happens when the bug occurs? The world loads in, everything on campus loads in, all except for the actual housing. It's gone all except for the outline of where it should be. Except for dormmates being roommates, they seem to be roommates, and the lot is put under your Sims's ownership as if it was your house. All Sims living in the housing spawn outside in a group.
What do you expect to see? I expect the housing to load in correctly and for all Sims living in the housing to be in it, walking around and acting as they would normally. Also, the other Sims would not be Roommates of my Sim and the lot wouldn't appear like it's owned by my Sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I've removed all my mods from my game and reloaded the game multiple times, and the bug still occurs, I've even traveled around the world and then made my way back to the housing and it's still not there. I click on the house icon on my sims profile to tell them to go home and they stop right before where the doors would be. I'm not sure if this is a bug due to a recent patch because I haven't been keeping up with patch release dates. Is this happening to anyone else? 

  • Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with responding, but I found a somewhat solution that worked for me. I realized that is the problem was something I couldn't resolve without deleting the save or going the route I did. I ended up just dropping my sim out of university and cheating her a degree, cause as much as I love uni in the Sims, it actually stresses me out a bit. After that, I moved her to a new house and kicked out all my "roommates" and nothing has gone wrong since. I hope this problem doesn't happen to anyone who actually wants to fully play through university, and I hope that it's a bug that can be realistically resolved. As for now, this is my only recommended solution.
