Overlapping festivals

The festivals from City Living keep stacking on top of one another instead of despawning. My SIM lives in 19 Culpepper House and I play on an Xbox One. I do not use any CC or mods as I am a console player

I first noticed this bug yesterday 20/8/24 but it has escalated today, I tried going into manage worlds and back, visiting different lots and festival locations, and restarting the game. None of these have worked.

Know information about this

There are currently two issues going on. One is the overlapping festivals, the other is [CL] [DU] [FR] [ECO] Objects cluttering worlds | EA Forums - 5036144

I personally believe that the overlapping festival issue is fixed while the other is not. The same goes for ice/roller skating rinks and food stalls. They should no longer newly occur.

If you load up an save game from before Patch 1.109.185/1.99 (Sept, 18th, 2024) where you have played in either r-rentals, apartments or penthouses, you will see overlapping festivals in your save game. The reason for this is that because of a fixed bug, all those items were assigned to your apartment instead of the streets data where it should be. The patch fixed that and pushed everything back to the streets, making it visible. Unfortunately they are now stuck there and don't despawn.

Please use this thread if you have food stalls, rinks, decoration and other festival objects getting stuck with the exception of these: Flea Market Furniture, Festival plants, Festival canvases, Flea Market Collectibles. The not despawning of these objects is caused by the other issue so please use the other thread.

For those already having stuck festivals, there's currently no good solution other than to clean them up with S4Studio (you can find info here (Method 2): Festivals spawn on top of each other and don’t go away) or disable the pack temporarily (Resetting world of a certain pack) which only works if you haven't save the game after that September patch. You can also clean up the items with a mod but be careful what you delete and there are certain items that aren't selectable. I do not know if T.O.O.L can delete those. There is no solution for console

If you have festivals NEWLY overlapping, in a save game started after Patch 1.111.102/2.04, please let me know.
