[BH] New highlight won’t disappear for small business tab

As the title says, the highlight for new items won’t disappear for the small business tab. Nothing appears in the catalogue as being a new item so the highlight won’t go away. I’ve unlocked all build cheats in case it was hidden but that didn’t resolve the issue. I even tried taking out the “ReticulatedSplinesView” file to generate a new one but the issue continued. While not a game breaking bug, it is still an annoying one. 

EDIT by crinrict

This issue only occurs on the small business tab on small business residential lots. There's a number of items that only appear on the small business venue type and they are causing the highlight on the residential ones to say on new.

To fix: Switch to a small business venue in build mode and mark all the items as seen. This should get rid of the highlight for both lot types.

    Hello, I need help. I recently bought some new expansion packs (dlc) which have resulted in mine build mode being bugged. The game worked perfectly fine before the new dlc was installed. I have no mods installed. But now after searching through the build mode catalog i have a few items remaining, the game claims it is new items--But I have checked every single one as well as debugs, used all cheats to try and find which one is corrupting my game (see attached file). It is located under objects by function > small business > community items. I have tried repairing my game twice. Nothing works. I don't know what to do or how to solve it.  Help would be appreciated. 

    Thanks.

    Thank you for posting about this! I was having the same issue and it was so annoying, but this helped me to fix it.

    To clarify, for anyone else who may be reading and was confused like me: you need to change your lot type to “small business venue” to see the hidden items. “Small business residential” will not show them.

    Oh my goodness, thank you so much! The issue went away when I created a small business lot. All the hidden items showed up and I was able to get rid of the new highlight!

     

  • Hi Quirky4Smiles​ 

    I can't duplicate this in my game. I tested two different saves and both didn't have the new highlight.

    Could you maybe list the packs you have ?

    • Does the issue only appear on small residential or small business lots ?
    • Doe it matter if you enter the lot in build mode from the map or through live mode ?
