[CL] Garage door/mural disappears when placed and breaks lots

I have noticed that, since the most recent patch update, a lot of my lots are broken. I have identified the core issue: the DIY Garage Mural from City Living is broken.

If I try to place that item onto a Lot, it subtracts the funds + makes a sound of an item being placed, but nothing actually happens. Further, if I try to load a lot that already has this item, I will get an infinite loading screen. If I go to an empty lot then try to add a house or room from my gallery that has this item, I will then have an infinite save or loading screen, or lose ability to interact with the UI.

If I load the game without City Living installed, all these lots are completely fine and playable.

I saw that EA_Cade​ was asking for save files that have experienced this bug, but that post was 9 months ago and I have only experienced this issue since the latest patch.

  • HI AmeliePoptart​ 

    for completions sake could you please add tags for mod usage (if you use any or not) 

    Please always provide this information so not to delay a bug report getting to Maxis. You can find more info about the adding thread tags to your post here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - 4965007 

    • Does your game crash to the desktop with this too ? (Since you choose crashing)
    • Did you choose freezing because of the infinite loading or does your gameplay freeze as well because of this (once you get to load the lot) ?

    • Mods removed on testing (issue persists in a new vanilla save)
    • Crashing seems to be a separate issue related to flash ads
    • Have messaged Cade
  • Having the same issue. So frustrating. Half of my Del Sol Valley is currently unplayable because I had so many lots there with the City Living garage door.

    Having the same issues. But its on and off sometimes its fine other times its not. 

  • Same thing keeps happening to me.
    If I try to place the garage mural in build mode, it's invisible and undetectable.  Once placed, if I try to save, my game completely freezes.
    If I load into a lot that has the garage mural while in live mode, and then try to save my game progress, my game completely freezes.
    I can restore a lot to a saveable status if I delete the wall with the garage mural, but that's easier said than done if it's invisible and undetectable.

  • I cannot believe this still hasnt been fixed. I realise now this is why i got an infinite save screen and lost hours of progress because of this stupid bugged garage door. Genuinely insane to me that this of all things is the cause of it
