[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.

  • I have this exact thing happening in my most recent patch, October 2025! Brand new fresh save and the apartments in culpepper hosue are empty just like yours

  • Adding my +1 vote, because I'm also having this issue with apartments that sims never lived and I never accessed from build mode. I started playing in Salim Benali's apartment in San Myshuno, then a few sim days later I went to move some sims from my library into empty apartments through the city. The game only allowed unfurnished move-ins and now the apartment interiors are wiped out from map mode.

    Prior to moving in the gallery sims, I edited my apartment and the edit-able strip of land outside the apartment building (no mods and no moveobject or other build cheats when editing the outside, just placing items in the strip of edit-able tiles outside). I have City Living but not For Rent. I had no mods installed when the issue occurred but I did add mods afterward, but this all happened within a few hours of play time so I can recreate a fresh vanilla save pretty quick if necessary :)

    Unfortunately this patch did not have a side effect that would fix this issue :( 
    Still all apartment furniture disappears when loading into an apartment next to it.. 

    I really hope they fix this before the game loses their dev team. 🤞

    Same here. When I visit other apartments in same building I found them completely empty, happened many times. Best way is probably save whole lot in gallery if any kind of problems happens so u could easily just put whole lot again.

  • Happens in my save file too. Actually noticed it already long time ago and was hoping it would be fixed, but until now the problem persists....

    I wonder if more people will notice the issue now that the new EP comes with 4 apartments - I hope the extra visibility will help raise awareness and increase the chance we get a fix.

    I feel your pain! I eagerly await every update to see if this problem will be addressed.

     

    For someone who loves playing in apartments, this bug is a nightmare! And it's been going on for many, many months – I don't even know when I first wrote about it. I think it's been two years.
