Merged your thread with the existing thread although your issues seem limited to certain objects only.

Re: Disappearing objects and saving issue

★★ Novice

Hi!

 

I cannot because i uninstalled game and installed it again (repairing game didn’t help). I didn’t save TS4 folder. 

 

It seems like reinstallation helped… 

 

Nevertheless, I read the thread you shared - lot i tried to build on was restaurant lot; i saw in that post that someone also had issues with restaurant lot type.

This happened to me twice and both times I had to delete my save files and restart the app. I lost all my progress after the suggested clear cache and had to start a new save file.

I also want to add that before bulldozing everything, I could draw a wall. Even though I had this happen pretty randomly on a new build.

Cannot place items in build mode

★★★ Newbie

Since EA went down yesterday I cannot place items in build mode anymore. I click on a window for example, and i try to place it. it wont let me.

Same goes with all build mode items (windows, plants, surfaces, comfort etc.) I have no mods or CC, I have repaired the game about 7 times, restarted my computer

and I am fed up honestly with this game. Anyone have any ideas?
