How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)

What happens when the bug occurs? the color from the object does not change with the design tool.
What do you expect to see? I place someting like a plant and place a other plant to fill the garden. Then i want to change the color of the plant with the design/recolor tool. but when i want the make the white flowers purple or any other color, the flowers are not changing its stuck in the same color you have placed the plants in the first place. I have this bug with every object i place.

Hi all,

 

I have a bug in buildmode. When i place differend objects and i want to change the color, (with that design/recolor tool,) after placing It. the color is stuck in the first color you have placed them.

for example:
1. placed a red bed and some other obejcts in the room.
2. want to recolor the red bed to blue.
3. bed gets stuck on red and not changing to blue.
4. need to destroy the object or i cant get the blue bed.

I had this exact same problem and it was the UI Cheats Mod doing it. (It had an update that I missed.)

Hi @sharonbl

 

have you tried a different house to see if you have the same issue there ? I had a report in the German forum that was very similar to yours but that was specific to a few houses that were really huge and had lots of objects.

I have tryed differend lots:
- full lots with a lot of objects,
- lots with just a small amount of objects
- an emty house with a little bit of new placed objects.
all have the same bug.
After going to a differend lot i can use recolor tool just 1 time, the color change from red to blue. But if i want to set it back, from blue to red its gonna freeze again in the same blue color. even with other objects after the first object try, i just cant change any of them. The all get stuck in the same color. If i go to an other rondom lot i can recolor just one object to an other color. afther that its get stuck again in the same color.

i have read something on a mods website about the: localthumbcache.package file. I deleted that file and the bug is gone.

Hi @sharonbl

 

thanks for reporting back.

 

Guess then it was just something faulty with that cache files.

 

I'm going to mark this as solved for now but feel free to come back if it happens again

Hi @LlamaLissa

 

thanks for that info

 

Seems @sharonbl had to delete the cache files to get rid of the mod left overs.

 

Marking this as mod related

Good Luck
