So technically what I was saying is that's not a mod issue actually 🤗
TOOL makes it easier to place objects outside lots and makes it possible for objects you can't carry, but the issue itself of object disappearing (the one the author is reporting) is related to how the game handles objects outside the lot when loading a residential rental.
When the issue was first observed, I was among the people reporting that to TwistedMexi and they added this fix into their mod, it makes sense as placing objects outside the lot is a key feature of TOOL, so it makes that issue even more impacting for players using it. But the issue itself is from the game and can affect people that haven't used TOOL to have objects outside lots.
For checking if the objects became invisible, it's something that the average player cannot really do (as it requires knowledge on how to use Sims 4 Studio to check objects on a specific zone). But for the issue about those invisible objects, it's not the object itself that became invisible, it's a copy, the real object is deleted when loading a residential rental 😊
But we have a thread for that. We don't need another and as said, that's happening for a long time and not just since the patch.
This report is specifically about tool and not the other issue.
The way they reported this, I was hoping they have the knowledge to check.
Did you add the part about the invisible being a duplicate to the main thread ?
Yes I think the issue could be merged as it's related to the two issues that are still on-going :
- Objects disappearing - related to residential rentals (the subject of this topic)
- Invisible duplicates cluttering save files related to residential rentals, apartments, penthouses
In this case, the topic specifically talks about the first issue when using TOOL, but the root cause and the bug to solve by the developers is not related to TOOL.
I was really active on those threads at some point so I think I gave this information, but I'm not 100% sure 😅 Anyway, it's be going on for months and I feel like as now the issue for the invisible duplicates is not visible to the average player, it's hidden under the rug and it won't be solved any time soon.
I'm going to hold on on merging. Letting CM make that call :D
