Missing World Assets in several worlds

Hey everyone,

I've been having major issues with The Sims 4 after installing the For Rent expansion pack. My saves became corrupted, and I also noticed that assets in Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor are missing. Even after completely deleting For Rent from my game and starting a brand-new save file, the missing assets in both worlds are still gone.

This issue seems to be linked to For Rent because the expansion is corrupting save files—Sims won’t do actions, or they take forever to move. Even after removing For Rent, my legacy save is still buggy—Sims act strangely and barely perform any actions at all.

I've already tried repairing the game via the EA app, but the problems persist. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any known fix to restore Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor and get Sims working normally again? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    By assets you mean certain objects or do you have the lots missing ?

    Did you do a game repair after removing the pack ?

    Did you see the attached pictures? The world of Brindleton Bay is missing plaques, trees, and background assets. Some objects on my own lot are also missing sometimes, but the issue is mostly in the world. I repaired the game, uninstalled it, deleted the files, and reinstalled it with a brand-new save, but the assets are still missing.

    davimachaado I did but I wasn't sure what I'm looking at tbh. I don't know every spot in every hood what they are supposed to look so I wanted to be sure. And I also wouldn't know where exactly to find them and as I get dizzy looking around worlds, I rather ask to be sure.

    Did you do a folder rename ? There' is a general issue with objects getting added to wrong space and becoming invisible but I havent' seen this happening that for trees or background assets

    If they are still gone in a new save game without For Rent installed, something else is going on. 

    Did you do a folder rename and test a new folder this way ?

    No, I didn't. I even uninstalled my whole game and the folders and the issue remais. Here's a picture of before and afer this glitch so you can understand better.

    Hi everyone,

    I’m experiencing a persistent issue with missing assets in The Sims 4, specifically in Brindleton Bay. Plaques, trees, and background objects are missing from the world, and sometimes objects on my own lot disappear as well.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    Repaired the game through the EA App.
    Deleted the For Rent expansion pack.
    Created a brand-new save file.
    Completely uninstalled The Sims 4 and manually deleted all remaining files before reinstalling.
    Despite all these steps, the assets are still missing. I’m attaching two photos—one from before the glitch and one after—to show the difference.

    Has anyone else encountered this issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix it?

    Thanks!

    Wow, does your old picture date from the release of cats and dogs because the dogwood tree that I see dont have the odd green saturated colors they have now, since the seasons EP... Do you own Seasons? Not only Brindleton bay have saturated green grass in spring time and saturated green trunks and leaves for the dogwood tree, which is not supposed to be that color, but now this is missing objects... this game is going to hell... I know Evergreen Harbour is having so many problems too... Hope the polish the old worlds some day because that is unacceptable.

    Hi,

    I think I have encountered a bug.

    Platform : PC
    Game version : 1.115.253.1020 DX11
    Properties : -dx11
    Mods : Yes (but I have deleted them all trying to find the issue)

    What is the problem ?
    Debug is missing from Evergreen Harbor (the station and parts of the bridge at Station Conifer + the houses and the way up to the community lot at Grimms).

    What I have tried so far :
    - Disabling mods + repairing the game
    - Tried the 50/50 method with my mods 
    - Deleted all mods (and game version + localthumbpackage) but debug was still missing in a new game.

    The debug is fine when I fisrt load in a new game, BUT it disappears after I change only one or two lots...

    Have a nice day and thanks for your help :)

    Hi Reijaana​ 

    could you explain what you mean by debug ? Debug items are usually what you find with the debug cheat in build mode so I'm a bit unsure what you are referring to.

    DOes this happen to each of your save games or just a specific ones ?

    Hi,

    I am talking about the live edit objects. As you can see in the first picture, the station is missing and parts of the bridge are missing too. Same for neighboorhoud houses that are debug houses.

    In the second picture, the yellow squares that makes the path up to the community lot are also missing. Same for the houses around the lot.

    It happens to every new game I create since 2 weeks even when I disable my mods.

    Hi. It's been 3 months. I am playing without any mod since then and have repaired the game. The bug is still there on new saves I am creating... It's been 3 months as I said... I know you do not have only this bug to take care of but an update on this issue would be appreciated... Thanks.

    I would like to link this post that I made some time ago. The assets around Club Calico in Brindleton Bay are missing. All you can see are floating lightboxes because the structure where they are supposed to be attached to are missing. 

    I was able to make the structure show up when I changed the Draw Distance in graphics settings to High. When the Draw Distance is set to low, other structure disappears.

    I've never had this happen before where whole building were missing, it took around 2 minutes for them to come back and spawn back into the world

    This was a fresh save with no cc, so it worried me that something like that would happen so early on
