I built a basegame home and went to place it on Pique Hearth. I had bulldozed Pique Hearth on a previous occasion. When I went to place the house I'd built from my Gallery I get a "system error" message and the lot wouldn't load. I then tried to place the home on the next door lot and I got the same message. The image attached is when I tried placing the house I'd built on the Riverside Roost lot right next to Pique Hearth, where it happened the first time I tried to place it.

I am starting a fresh save
I play forever gameplay aging off.
I’m making the builds first in a discard file first

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.

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

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.

How do I save it on PS5 please, I am trying but I don’t know how. My username on sims is simsimma868 and the save file is called DISCARD. I have two lots there, an apartment block in SanSequoia 64x64 lot, and a school in the copperdale school lot.
Blessings

I was encountering this and it seems to be tied to a specific build for me. I use mods but removed them. Even in a new save the build still had the issue. I was able to place another building on the lot in Evergreen Harbor - I tried the build on two different lots and got an error both times. I do have custom photos on the lot. Unsure if sending a save file would be of use since it wouldn't contain the build I'm struggling to place. I DO have a save that the build was built on. I was trying to place in a new save. Perhaps the original save might be of use?
