There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.
[LS] Sims cancel romantic interactions (Woohoo/TFB/Break Up/..)
Play on PC. I purchased Lovestruck and the game updated. I haven’t played since before the update. When I played today, the woohoo and try for baby interaction is there on the sims and bed, but when you click on it the sims glitch and nothing happens. Unable to try for baby. Very disappointed that I can’t play anymore because of it. How am I supposed to continue my legacy family without being able to try for baby? Please fix this bug. Thank you Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ Archived thread had around 296 me toos EDIT: Adjusted title further
Burglar: Stolen Items loose upgrades after returning
Hi there, Loveeee the new burglar update! but I do have a question. The burglar tried to steal my Backyard observatory (the big telescope), and while he did swipe it i got it back from the police when he got caught. but when I got it back, I noticed it did not have the upgrades I had previously had my sims install on it. Is this part of the feature and they are supposed to lose their upgrades? or is it a bug? (I am on Mac if it matters) Thanks! Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title[CL] [DU] [FR] [ECO] Objects cluttering worlds/Collectibles disappearing
Update 2025/01/30 EA has implemented a non-fix for this. This means that the items are no invisible (most of them) but still there. The overlapping festivals seem fixed but the objects are not. Same steps apply. Problem Objects in worlds start to clutter the world. These are items such as bikes, collectibles, plants, food and drinks. They can't be deleted as they are outside of a lot and even spawn on top of each other. When loading into R-Rental lots, collectibles or objects left behind disappear. These objects are left behind by NPCs or active Sims while actively playing either of these lot types Apartments (San Myshuno, Evergreen Harbor) Penthouses (Ciudad Enamorada, San Myshuno) Residential Rentals Dorms What happens is that consumable objects/gardening fruits/collectibles/.. get added to the shared space of the affected lots instead of staying in the streets. This prevents the game from cleaning them up and they stay although they sometimes only become visible if you switch back and forth between lots. Some items will stay invisible for ever. I believe some error happens when you switch back to an affected lot type and then the game doesn't know anymore where the items in the street belong too and attaches them to the shared space of the affected lot type instead of the streets. Known affected objects Food/Drink (Festival) Garden Plants Flea Market Furniture Flea Market Collectibles (all of them) Canvases from Easels in the world Snow Globes Bikes Snowmen & -angles possibly snow drifts Pile of leaves Rainbow Spawner Boats Poop Puddles Repro Steps The same can be replicated with snow globe boxes and drinks/food but it's easiest with the flea market Wait for the flea market to appear. Travel with any Sim to a not affected lot in the the spice market Travel to an affected lot (such as an apartment) while the festival is going on in the spice market Notice that all furniture, collectibles on sales table (and probably picture wall) are gone Travel back to another lot in the spice market. Notice the furniture reappear. The collectibles and lamps on the tables won't reappear as the game doesn't know what to do with them. Wait for the festival to end Notice how the furniture doesn't despawn when the rest of the festival does. Solution There's currently no known solution other than cleaning the neighborhoods up with either mods that give you options to delete objects outside of lots or using S4Studio. Mods are a bit unclear cause the objects become unselectable at some point. Cleaning up with S4Studio is actually quite easy to do. although it can be very time consuming and slow. You can find detailed instructions here: Objects in neighborhoods are not getting cleaned up. (Method 2) The method is based on what Scorpio1959 posted in the German SimForum There is no solution on Console other than disabling the pack and saving it without. Depending on how widespread, that might not be an option at all but it may help with the festivals Cleaning up is a lot of work and the litter just comes back if you switch from any lot to an affected lot within the same hood Prevent When living in San Myshuno, don't switch lots during a festival When living elsewhere, don't travel to an apartment to attend a festival after travelling to non-apartment. Always wait for the festival to completely despawn before switching lots, leaving the game or going to CAS. Always close down the game before trying another save. Collect all the snowglobe boxes before switching to and from an apartment (tedious I know) Scanning all the hood for possible litter and clean it up before switching to affected lot types (REALLY tedious) Related Threads Me too count of archived thread in brackets [NEEDS SAVES] Objects flying in the sky: Now on ground or still in sky (140) Objects stuck when placed in world after loading a r-rental (167) [NEEDS SAVES] [CL] [DU] San Myshuno/Brichester full of Litter/Bikes (216) [S] Leaf Piles Not Disappearing (Patch 1.71/1.38) (10) Bicycles not returning to sims inventories, coffee cups and festivals left out Possibly also related Haunted House Moodlet on normal residential[COLLECTION] Issues with Achievements/Trophies

Business Panel Doesn't Show Owned Businesses
Recently, I am now unable to fill vacancies or properly manage the lot I purchase. After purchasing lot, I can open the ‘owned business’ panel, but to fill vacancy you must return home. Once on home lot, the ‘owned business panel’ no longer shows my rental unit. When looking at world map, when hovering over new rental I just purchased, it does show I own. The only time I’m successful in getting the ‘owned business panel’ to identify that I own property, is after clicking the build/buy mode while on rental lot and returning to live mode. Therefore, all I can do is buy the lot, and change the rental agreement. I cannot however find tenants or collect rent. I play sims 4 on Xbox. Please help!

My doctor sim is unable to assess collapsed or pregnant sims that come in to the hospital for treatment. There isn't even a white / clear outline on the sim indicating the item is clickable. Therefore, my sim is unable to interact / chat with the sim at all. This is making promotions difficult as they are the promotional task. My sim is able to interact / treat all other patients that come into the hospital. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.
