Some Clutter Objects Still Missing or Missing Tags
While many of the missing clutter objects are now back in the catalogue after the Jan 28 game update, these are still completely missing from the catalogue and can't even be touched with the clone tool. You can however still use the design tool on them. Base game: Spice of Life Spice Rack HSY: Battling Chess Knight Figurines Paranormal: Book of Silhouettes Moschino: The Photographer's Irritation Pastel Pop: Fondly Felted Floral Creation Life & Death: The Macabre Writer's Quill Life & Death: Johnny the Jarred Ghost HSY: Copperdale Llama Sports Mascot Figurine (thanks to sadbabcia's comment) I shared in a comment on the original bug report that I have a room on the gallery with these items (I just uploaded a new room with all 8 missing items, today, Sunday Feb 2/25). While the individual items can't be cloned, you can use the copy room tool to copy the room and thereby get a copy of the items. These two items are still lacking tags, so therefore are at the end of the catalogue, & can't be cloned (I've now added screenshots, and you can also find them in the catalogue by searching on their name): Spa Day: Nail Care Basics Cottage Living: Are you well, Well? These two items from Werewolves are in clutter, however they can't be cloned, though I also checked in a game that is on an old version (still before the Lovestruck update, v 1.107.151.1020 DX9) and they couldn't be cloned there either, so perhaps that is by design.

The threads linked below are being actively investigated. Please follow them for any updates. Problem The save game starts to disintegrate itself. Lots start to get deleted, causing endless loading, loading into empty lots or Error Codes 800/801.

This issue is not mod caused but it can be influenced by mods and cheats, especially if you create lots of Residential Rental units in your save game. Save Game Size. The issue usually typically happens on larger save games. There are a few factors that contribute to save game size that you can keep an eye on Lots of huge houses with lots of objects: Try to keep those down. Consider using empty houses for set decoration if you don't play certain lots but want houses to make it look nicer Photos Sims take ingame. Try to only keep the photos you really like and that contribute to your gameplay. Delete everything else. Photos take up a lot of space in the save. Lots of Sims. The game creates Sims at abundance. Delete the ones you don't use from time to time. Usually there's nothing you can do once it starts happening.
Can't play chess with active Time Limited Events
Chess tables are unusable in the library - noticeable in Willow Creek library. When trying to use the chess tables (any style of chess table) my sim "does not have permission to use the chess table". I have replaced them and the same thing happens - yet chess table is a requirement of the Library plot type!

Gallery screenshot is blocked by trees/objects on several lots
There is an old thread about this issue from 8 years ago but since this is now an issue again, I want to report it. As the title says, when uploading a lot to the Gallery/Library the game generates the first screenshot wrong. Only showing trees instead of the house view. You don't see the lot anymore because trees are in front. Examples: Link to the old thread with lots of screenshots Edit By Crinrict: Archived thread had around 139 me toosEndless Loading/Crashing when trying to load a certain lot (broken object(s))
Problem When trying to load a certain lot, the game either crashes or endlessly loads. This particular issue is tied to that building. It causes the same issue on any lot you place it on from the gallery and is tied to the furniture. It usually happens with lots that have objects placed with MoveObjects or T.O.O.L and are placed on top of each other. This issue has nothing to do with save game corruption. There are several issues that cause endless loading. Please see this for more details: [PLEASE READ] Crashing and Endless Loading | EA Forums - 5037259. Determine if this is your issue KEEP BACKUPS OF YOUR SAVE GAME! The easiest way to determine if the lot you are trying has this issue is, to load it without furniture. Use the following techniques to do so You're trying to place a lot from the gallery that just crashes/endlessly loads: Place the lot unfurnished The lot is a residential lot: Either move a family in without furniture or move the family in the lot out with all the furniture. The lot is a commercial lot: Try to load it from the map in build mode (see below) and then change the lot type to residential and proceed as above. If the lot loads after doing this, then this is your issue. Suggestions for troubleshooting The process to find the object(s) that are causing the issue is really tedious and you need to make sure it's worth it. Maybe it's easiest to refurnish or use another lot. Try to load the lot in build mode. If that fails, load the lot next to it in build mode and pan around a bit (I have no idea why that seems to work, but it helped me getting crashing lots to load), then go back to the other lot. Once you loaded the house, change it to residential if it wasn't already and move someone in without furniture. Load the lot and check if that works. Take note on how the lot looks. Everything that's still there is not an issue if you were able to load the game that way. Save this under a new name. You might need to refer back to it. Go back to the save with furniture and try the loading again. This time just delete the house. You can grab it to move around and then delete it. Check again if the problem is gone. If not, the issue is outside, if so, the problem is the house (it could theoretically be both but for now assume it's not. To be sure, you can delete everything BUT the house and see if the problem still occurs). Once you know if it's the house or the outside, you can start searching. Outside: Delete one half of the lot, then test. Then test the other half. Then do half of the half until you find the object or object group. Depending on the amount of objects used, it could be easier to just delete a whole structure. Up to you. Inside: Delete floor by floor and then room by room to find the room that contains the faulty item. Then go from there.

[CL] Ceilings disappeared from San Myshuno Apartment
I have encountered an issue in San Myshuno where ceilings are either missing, broken, or unpaintable in several apartments. I first noticed a related broken ceiling lighting glitch in 2024 on an old save file. Although the lighting glitch has been fixed, the issue with missing ceilings appears to persist. I tested this by creating a fresh save file, and the issue remains. After investigating each apartment in San Myshuno, I have identified three distinct problems: Missing ceilings on editable lots. Missing ceilings in non-editable areas, causing outdoor lighting to shine through into the apartments. Unpaintable ceilings on editable lots. Affected Locations: Fashion District: 21 Chic Street Complex (Hallway): Missing roof in the hallway. 1313 21 Chic Street: Multiple ceilings are missing. 1312 21 Chic Street: Multiple ceilings are missing. 1310 21 Chic Street: Multiple ceilings are missing. 702 ZenView: The ceiling on the first floor is non-editable and unpaintable. Spice District: 19 Culpepper House: Missing balcony ceiling. Uptown: Landgraab Complex: Elevator ceiling on the first floor is incomplete/missing. IX Landgraab: Missing ceiling on the second floor. VIII Landgraab: The ceiling in the left corner of the kitchen is non-editable/unpaintable. 888 Spire Apartments: Elevator ceiling on the second floor is incomplete/missing.

Can't make changes to build
After I place one item the next item I select won't place, it flips back to where it was previously, or is carries around by my mouse indefinitely. I found by clicking a different tool across the top like the eyedropper then going back to the select tool it will let me place another item, but only one. Then click on the eyedropper again and back to the select tool, for each item I need to move or place. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
