@aniluong Do you have Mods or CC in your game, or did you have them recently? If so you could try removing them and the cache file described in this spoiler tag and check if the issue remains. There is a list of Mods/CC that are currently broken that are known about at this link that may be helpful: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1000307/broken-updated-mods-cc-june-14-2022-werewolves-p...
Directions: 

Spoiler
Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.

If that is not the issue you could try a game repair:

Spoiler
How to run a game repair:
• Open Origin, click ‘Game Library’ then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game
• Let it run until it has completed all repairs. It will do the base game first, then run through each of your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs and Kits).

@aniluong I merged your post with the bug report. Please see Post 79 for a solution.

Did you just install C&D ?

Duplicate World

★★★ Newbie

I've just downloaded the Sims 4 University pack and for some reason there are two versions of Brichester on my game. Whenever I go there, there's duplicate versions of the same sims and it's really irritating thinking my sim knows someone, when actually they've met their duplicate in the other world. Everything else is just singular like clothes and items in the buy menu but the world itself is duplicated. Anyone know what's caused this?

I have two of the same worlds

★★ Novice

Hi, I play the Sims 4 on MacBook Air using Origin. I have played the game for 2 generations with no trouble. (I have a spell caster family). I downloaded Werewolves and started playing (in that same save file), but a week into gameplay(sim time) I went into my map menu and noticed I had Two Moonwood Mills. It was strange because when I started playing I had one world, but ow I have two. And only one save file has this problem. I took out all of my mods and my game was still showing me, two of the same worlds. I only had relationships with the sims of the Moonwood Mill I had been playing with.  and in the manage worlds menu they were copies of all the moon wood townies...  Is there any way I can delete the other world. I have no problem with the other world I don't get error messages.

Re: I have two of the same worlds

Hi

i would advise backing up the saves, mod and tray files (just to be sure)

then disabling the werewolves pack via origin by entering this line in command line arguments (the sims 4- game properties- advanced launch options): -disablepacks:GP12

Load the broken save file and proceed with the missing pack, select a household that is not affected with the werewolf pack at all

Immediatly after loading into the household save and quit the game, enable the pack again and see if that removes the duplicate Standard smile

Re: Moonwood Mill map and selection is there twice

★★★ Apprentice

Nope. Didn't work. The second Moonwood Mill reappeared after I added the four folders back in.
