[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.

Generally bugs still open in the archive do not need to be re-reported unless you have new info.

    Same bug is happening to me (out of nowhere). When will it be fixed? Six months since this post, and no answers. From what I saw, people have been reporting this bug for YEARS. This is getting annoying. 

  • After i updated the game, my video station stopped working. my sims recorded all her videos and after that i could not edit them, delte them or uplod them. i cant record any new videos because it says that the drive is full. i cant get rid of the videos in the invetory. ive reset the object and it still dosent work. ive sold and rebought my video sation and still the inventory is filled with videos that i cannot do anything with. i have dols the lot, bulldozed it, moved my sims to a new lot, cancled my scenerios and removed and disabled all mods. STILL the videos are in the inventory unable to be removed. 

    ive worked so hard on this and it sudddenly crashed out of no where, how do i fix this? i even asked CHat gpt and ive had 0 answers. 

    i cant edit, only rename. nothing else can be done.

    Has to be something to do with the new inventory system. My video station has 8 videos in it. 1/2 of them can only be renamed and the other 1/2 bring up no options at all when clicked. I had my sim leave the lot and come back, sometimes fixes little things like video duping. Didn't work. I debug broke it(it has unbearable upgrade), had the sim sit there for 2 in game hours repairing it before heading to work, did not finish repairing. Debug repaired it. Sim came home from work, videos problem was still there. Sold the video station and bought a new one, videos were still there in same state. Bought components and the upgraded the light controller and now none of the videos have options when clicked on. Right click destroyed the station, bought a 3rd, videos are still there and no options when clicked. Why are the videos staying when sold/destroyed?

  • 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.
