[GF] Videos from Video Station can't be accessed

Same issue that was reported in the archive previously I found that I am currently having now.

Previous thread had issue listed, "[OPEN] [GF] Videos from Video Station can't be accessed"

I have four room mates and only one used the station initially.  Then I started having each of them update or do certain things.  I have a drone as well.  The first issue showed up when the drone said there was no room to transfer to the station.  Then I tried to go to the station to create more videos.  It said it was full.  Several videos in the station wouldn't let me do anything except change or rename them.  Now they are all bugged out with some showing nothing and a few showing the ability rename and that is all.

Just want the ability to delete them all.  In fact please add that to the video station.  The object in my game is called "The More Choices Video Station".  I also tried the testingcheats on and then shift clicked.  Only option when clicking object was reset debug and set to head.

Please just add a mass delete videos option when selecting the drone or video editing and a debug reset that can purge the bad objects stored in the object which are tied to the object and lot.

I don't use any mods.  I have all expansion packs, bundles, stuff etc and all are enabled.

  • I've tried every light fix I could find online. The responsible adult in me feels EA should really step in and resolve this—so I don’t waste an hour of my life just moving my one family in and out of lots. I only play one household, and this bug is seriously cutting into my playtime, which is really disappointing. I've been playing since 2000. Please help us loyal simmers out here!

  • I have tried everything that was recommended to resolve this issue but I still can't touch the videos. I can't edit or upload them, the rare occasions I am able to touch them. I can only rename them. it's only in the household, all my other households I am able to use it no problem.

  • When in live mode after recording you painting fitness whatever and you upload the videos to the video station it doesn't give you the option to upload or post now this is when you're playing the game not as the player but as the character.

  • I have a similar issue where I try to click on a video to edit it and just.... nothing. I can't even rename it. It just sits there.

  • Made MANY videos on the station and they just disappear.
    They aren’t in household nor personal inventory… So I experimented and when I record on drone, and then moved to the station to edit, they disappear too! It kept one of of seven videos made. And I’m sim-minutes which are human seconds, that’s a lot of wasted time. 

    I went online and this seemed to have been an issue for the last seven years!! Soooooo do we have a solution to it yet?

  • This just happened to my save yesterday. No mods, no cc ever. Right after I asked our ghost to repair it using the Life and Death feature. He couldn't ghost repair it by clicking on the object, but another Sim could ask him to. 

    The suggested steps worked, took 15 minutes on a gaming laptop.  

    Edit: I have had the Video Station in other saves, all DLC, since 2021 with no problems

    Me too. This just happened to my save file today though I don't know how long this bug has been happening for others as I don't use the video station often. The OP's solution worked for me (move in sim, split OG sims from household, go back into home, deleted video station and saved, evict and delete dummy sim, I repaired my game afterwards to be safe, moved back in OG sims and bought a new video station which is completely empty now) so now I will be more careful to not let the Drone or Video Station from getting full again as that was what prompted it to break.

  • I saw this bug reported on PC 10 months ago but im also encountering this bug on xbox. My video station is full of videos but yet I can no do anything with them, I can't edit or upload.. no options appear anymore. Please fix this bug, its messing with my **bleep**.
