"System Error" when placing lot

The only way I found around this was to save it room by room and rebuild it that way. It's still tedious but at least you won't have to start from scratch.

Any updates on this please cause I spent months building this lot so I can’t start from scratch 😭😭 

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/information-how-to-send-user-files-to-the-sims-4-team/5048472

Thanks!

Yesss I’m having this same issue is so peak 😭😭😭😭😭 

I am starting a fresh save

I play forever gameplay aging off. 

 I’m making the builds first in a discard file first 

… except I finally finished building the apartment building yesterday (took months) , I uploaded it to the gallery and my library ready to place it into a fresh save .. and it won’t place !!!  It’s corrupted fully and I don’t know why !!! I 😭😭😭

Im not starting this build from scratch …!! It took months !!! 😭😭😭 please help … 

I literally just came to terms with the fact that my old save I have to start from scratch cause it’s to corrupted , then on the first build I make ready to place in my new save is broken …?!? 

Please help !! I have 90% + of the packs and I have copies on Mac too 😭😭😭 so I’m low-key own 140% packs 😭😭

The error code is system error when I try to place 

This is on console ps5 so it’s not a mods issue cause I have none.

I play on console ps5 and mac. I am trying to place a lot I made on ps5 to my game on Mac and it won’t place, says system error .. please help this apartment block took me months to make. I made it on a discard save file on ps5 so I want to place it into a new save too cause I gotta restart my whole forever game cause there was too many bugs. But it won’t even place and don’t show up while placing.

Blessings  

Hi EmeraldSunset8​ 

I merged your post with the bug report. Make sure to click on the vote button.

I saved a house I built to my gallery and when I tried to place in my game 'System Error' showed up. I have all mods disabled. It was a business lot so could that be the reason?

So I rebuilt it from rooms, and it's fin,e but if I try to move the whole lot, it now crashes the game
