Discovery University Household Glitch

★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, including University, except for Island Living, Moschino Stuff and Relm of Magic.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When I open the game and try to go into any household, in all of the worlds but the University one, there is a blue box with a flashing loading symbol in the space where it should have a picture of the family.
What happens when the bug occurs? You cannot play any household except for the ones premade by the Sims in the University world.
What do you expect to see? The bug gets fixed.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After I installed the Sims 4 University.

I cannot get into my household, therefore I cannot play. However, you can get into the University world and play the university characters. When I go into the University household and hover over a household and then go back into any other world besides university, it fills all of the households with those specific characters from the household that I was previously hovering over.

@cary404 I merged your post with the master thread on this.

This issue is caused by an outdated mod and if you saved your game with them in, then it will be borked and you need to go back to a backup. It's the only option.

If you haven't saved then you should be fine removing the mod and loading the game again

See first page for more info.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover University, Get Famous, City Living, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Bowling Night Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure, it just happens every time I load the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't get into any lots whatsoever. Every time I hover over one of the family's, it just shows a flashing blue square. I tried moving a sim into one of the Britechester houses and it immediately took me back to the screen where all the different world options are. This has only been happening since I purchased Discover University. I don't know what to do.
What do you expect to see? Normal gameplay without all the glitching. I should be able to get into the lots.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I've tried removing my mods, but it still happens even then

I've attached photos below

@bfssweetie If you saved you're game that way, the save is broken. You need to load a backup.

Re: [MOD RELATED] Sims disappeared from household/Blue flashing square on map

★★★ Novice

Hi I am new here too but have the One household blinking blue in San Myshuno. I already tried removing all mods but it did nothing. Recovering an earlier save does not work either since it the latest I can get to is on the 15th and the same problem appears in them too.
Usually the household is blinking blue, but sometimes it gets replaced with an npc sim and sometimes even a duplicate of an npc already living in San MyShuno but in another apartment.
I do use cc content and mods, including MCCC and one <adult mod> . I updated both of these earlier today, trying to fix the bug.

 

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? All the time but it sort of varies?
What is your current game version number? Sims 4 Latest Update (updated today trying to fix things)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Island Living, Seasons, City Living, Realm of Magic, Vampires, Toddler stuff, vintage glamour stuff, cool kitchen stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? log in with the Saved Games 1 file, try to play San Myshuno in the Landgraab Apartments, the household in the front.
What happens when the bug occurs? The household in the front is blinking blue, although sometimes it is replaced by an npc sim despite the filling of lots being off? If I try to get another sim to travel to the lot they can not knock on the door. If I go to the lot in editing mode, I see that some of the last furniture changes havent happened. (I remodelled the upstairs and that doesnt show up) 
What do you expect to see? A household of 4 sims.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes. cc and 2 mods of which one is an <adult mod>
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I noticed it today. I play sims often but the last time (on the 15th) I did not play with this household that disappeared due to being busy making new households. I usually play with the disappeared household though so the day before I would have played with it.

Oh and as of now (I went back to take that pic just a second ago) I accidentally saved while exiting so RIP.

There seems to be no real fix for this problem though(?), so in my case I'll most likely end up remaking this family since I do have the starting verison of it in my library and will only be losing 1 sim and all the progress.
