Update 2025/01/30
EA has implemented a non-fix for this. This means that the items are no invisible (most of them) but still there. The overlapping festivals seem fixed but the objects are not....
Ideas
I've been able to clean up pretty much everything (using S4S) from my game except these lights from the Festival of Lights from SE. I know what they are. Just can't find them in any of the zone data using S4S. Nor can I shift click delete them.

I haven't looked into festival stuff from non-San Myshuno festivals. Would you mind sending me your save game ? Would be good to do some testing on that too :D
They are probably still in the OpenStreetData so was this also a case of festivals just starting to not disappear in your save game or did this newly happen ?
Need to evaluate which thread this goes into.
Not sure when this happened. I don't have anyone living in that neighborhood.
Only the Festival of Lights got stuck. Was able to remove the other LF items with shift click delete. No ideal, but it worked.
Yes. I can send the save as soon as I get back to my other computer.
Ok sent.
Adding: Now that I think on it. I did try out a bunch of RR lots in that neighborhood plus a room for rent. Ultimately I didn't keep them, but going back and forth with my test Sims might have been what led to the stuck Festival. And I would not have noticed until later. I could go back through my backups and see when this was, but not sure it would make a difference.
