[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.

My Sims just moved house and the more views video station now won't work. I can see all the old videos but the only options are to rename them, not upload, edit etc. I've tried selling the object and buying a new one but the issue remains.

I have a 5 star celeb sim before the recent update I had filled the video station up with videos my sim has been asked to upload a video but the only option available when you click on the video is rename. I have tried fixing the game (I don't play with mods). I've tried swapping out the chair I have repositioned the station. My sim can put updates and hype the next video, but can't delete videos edit the videos or upload the videos at all. when I click on the videos in the inventory I only get the option to rename and I can't click to rename on the first video (top left hand corner)

For anyone unable to delete videos in the video station if it is stuck it is tied to the family. I was able to clear it but takes about an hour to do. You have to make a dummy sim to move into the family. Use manage household to move them in. Go on the lot save it with the new sim. And then move out your existing sims with the manage households. Go back in and check to see if the dummy sim has the videos still as they should be tied to the household itself. Save and then evict the dummy sim and then move your old family back in from the manage household tools.
It's a bit of shuffling but it did clear all videos out. That other sim you will probably want to delete. As the household file is corrupted.
Hope this helps anyone who is stuck with this. EA should just add an object control that flushes all the video files with a delete all. Or some other means. Very annoying waste of time.
