[CL] Apartments lose furniture when loading into adjacent apartment

When I load into an apartment in live mode (also works in build mode) all adjacent furnished apartments mark suddenly as 0 $ worth of furnishings and when a Sim tries to move into them they can only move in unfurnished!

If the adjacent apartment is one where a Sim lives, and I move that Sim out via move menu from manage worlds, they only have the option to move out without furniture and after that all furniture is forever deleted from that apartment, plus my Sim doesn't get money for their lost furniture on move out.

If I load into one of the 0 $ worth apartments in live or build mode, the furniture is actually there, and now the adjacent apartments of THAT apartment all become 0 worth. But it's not just a visual issue, as moving out or moving into such an apartment will indeed delete all furniture forever.

When I visit an apartment without knocking the whole preview of that apartment building with all apartments loses all furniture too, see screenshot.

I tested this without mods, on a Mac, have all packs that exist and am on the up to date latest January 2025 patch.

  • Looks like that bug has spread to loading households now and not only Sims dying.

    For me it worked to load the lot in build mode. That apartment was then fine again but as you say, that makes the other apartment having worth 0 furniture.

    I'm guessing this is related to way objects are tied to apartments since they are all tied to the 'master' lot. Seems the game doesn't know what to do and probably directly has to do with the festival fix.

  • Well this quite a long time the problem is when I renovate apartment and then go to the menu the apartments next to the renovated are all on zero and unfurnished. 

    This happen in a new Save File so it's not caused because somebody lived there and died.

    Example Cullpepper 19 - I renovated it than every other apartment is like unfurnished and 0.If you want to move in the option furnished is greyed out.  So after I renovated Cullpepper 19 I got to renovate Cullpepper 20 and after that the fresh renovated 19 is shown unfurnished and to 0.

    This happen to all apartments.

    I Specially started a new Save to see if my older saves was corrupted but it happen in a new modfree Save.

    You can test it yourself - start a new file go and renovated one apartment then you will see the neighbor apartments go to 0.

    I hope this will be fixed because if you are renovating a lot of apartments and want sims to move in you have to circle because of the unfurnished 0 simoleons issue.

    In the Pictures you can see a example in Evergreen Harbor. I renovated the apartment where my Test Sim is living and the one next door turn to 0. So I go to the 0 in build buy and (of course we see it's furnished) I buy a clock and go out - Now my Test Sim try to move to the apartment which was before 0 - now it is furnished BUT !! now it shows me I can't sell my furniture because Im not having any ?!

    So the bug occurs in circle.

    As I said brand new Save File - No Mods - repaired Game and even with a new Sims 4 Folder.I t happen again and again

  • i am having the same problem - lets hope EA will fix this soon. I love playing in apartments so for me its a big deal :(

    This was happening in my game months BEFORE the supposed fix that was rolled out for the festivals. I stopped playing in appartments 6 months ago because this was happening when I moved neighbors into apartments after moving in the sim family I was intending to play.

  • Me too! My sim visited one apartment in a building to meet a sim, and now that entire building is unfurnished. I simultaneously started having an issue where my sims (also in a San Myshuno apartment) no longer seem to own their own items after I travel to other lots and return home, so something strange may be up with apartments in San Myshuno :(
