Sims 4- november 2020 patch. 

 

Closed the game for ten minutes to update, when I updated all the beds in my hotel lot are gone as well as sofas, countertops and jetskis. 

These are all BG items, and when I try to place them again it says script call failed!

 

ETA- NOW SOLVED!! It was my mods ofc hahaha I work with such little cc on this computer I forgot I had any at all

Hi @AwakeCreate 

 

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck

This issue is potentially related to a adult basemental mod

 

Symptoms

  1. Furniture disappears on loading the game with the mod in
  2. New furniture can't be placed as a script failed  error occurs

 

Please refer to his page for more details.

 

Things to be aware of

 

  1. If you deleted your game with the furniture gone, it will stay gone. You need to reload a backup
  2. The script error should go away once you removed the mod
  3. Make sure to delete the localthumbcache file after removing the mod.

 

Good Luck

I can probably confirm this. I've been having the same issue with counters, beds and couches since the update today but I removed the Basemental Drugs mod and now they work fine again.
