[WORKAROUND] [CL] Festival objects spawning into each other and being stuck

[crinrict]

Do you have a save BEFORE it's happening, then a festival occurs and then it's happening ?

[Kerwin2258]

Having this issue as well. Seems discouraging to know it's a know issue and has been for a while, yet still no fix.

[Avilea]

Festival objects such as the food and swag vendors, picnic tables, and miscellaneous objects are spawning in the wrong location, intersecting each other, overlapping and clipping. Pathing to the vendor stalls is broken and they do not open for business, but Sims can still use certain objects such as picnic tables, even if they're sitting on top of a bubble blower or part-way inside a vendor stall.

Could you please post the following information:
Which neighborhood did this happen in ?  - Myshuno, Spice Market (Sim lives in Newcrest)
Which festival was the first to not go away ? - Spice Festival, followed by the Flea Market, both in the same location (however, it doesn't appear that the Festival didn't go away, it just appears as if all the objects are referencing a different Festival's layout).
What's your operating system ? - Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
What's your graphics card ? - AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

This is an issue for me too. It completely ruins the gameplay and I'm bummed. First noticed in at the Geek Con in the Fashion district, and still going on in the Arts district with some remnants of what I think was the spice festival? I'm not sure. I wish this would get fixed.

I just noticed that in the Arts District some poles, stands and picnic tables are being stuck. Now i haven't noticed it because i play with 6 different households, and i just got the chance to go there and seeing the glitch. It's really frustrating that Maxis can't remove this glitch, at least they could add a "Delete Object" feature in testingcheats, or let the lots be editable.

This is not just a festival issue.  I get clashing items round the food stalls of Uptown.  There are no festivals held there.  It really is time this was sorted.

You know I would really love EA to fix this bug.  Festivals and the communal areas with food stalls are a major part of CL and they don't work properly.  This sort of thing happens all the time:

And just to complete the disaster, here is what happens when I stay until the end of the festival to try to get the workaround solution:

[Nalthari]

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Español
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs+Expansion till 18 August 2017
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No idea it just happened.
What happens when the bug occurs? Frikicon is permanently in the square so Romance Festival is added on it. As if Frikicon festival is not active all the furniture still there (computers, consoles, rockets, shops...) As it is permanently there when Romance Festival comes both are mixed and u don't have acces to some elements of the Romance Festival like the sakura tea. I tried repairing game + all expansions but bug keeps there.
What do you expect to see? Is expected to see square empty from Frikicon furniture and only active while tht festival is active.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It happened after July 2017 patch.

I just started playing with a family after a bit the Frikicon event poped up so i went to it. I was there till time of event finished and some members of the family where at the karaoke, so i didnt notice frikicon furni kept there.

Then back with family to their own home ans saved because had to go to eat irl. Later when back to play TS4 all was normal till romance festival that i back to the square and noticed frikicon was still there mixed with romance festival.
