I have been repeatedly trying to turn the lights on in my sim's house but nothing works. The house remains dark except for some lights that had already been turned on.

I tried what you have mentioned above and it looks like the problem is fixed. What do you think is causing the issue? Also, what is the next step? Do I delete the new Sims 4 folder and rename the Sims 4_Old folder to Sims 4 again?
Hi mariaspan
You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.
First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.
Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.
You will need the following folders
- Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
- Screenshots (if you've taken any)
- Videos (if you've taken any)
- ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
- Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game)
Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game.
All other files are recreated and not needed.
I tried what you mentioned above step-by-step, but when testing out the main save, I still get the same problem (no mods, tray or other files added to the new folder). I tried testing other saves and none of them have the problem. I also tried bulldozing the lot and building something simple to test it out, and I am still getting the same problem. Any other solutions?
Hi mariaspan
did you try the same lot in another save game ? Maybe it has something to do with that particular lot. Don't have time to test it out myself today.
I just tried it and lights work just fine. I moved the household to a different save and placed the same house and the problem was still there. However, I managed to place the original EA starter house and now the problem is solved. I will report back if I notice any issues.
