Sims 4: Community Lots and Houses Missing or Invisible

[crinrict]

Did you try a backup or just replacing the houses (if you still have them in your library) ?

Do they disappear again if you re-place ?

I'm having the same issue on Mac OS, game was installed via Origin. After a day of playing houses are disapearing. Non of the described advises helped.

Are you using cloud sharing on your mac or are your save games local ? Any issues with error 22 ?

[daria_irish]

We save game locally, there were no any errors. Restart or starting new games do not help, houses disappear after some time during play. I will try to reinstall the game (is that possible with Mac Origin?). We just got DVD with the game in the store but actual Mac version had to be downloaded via Origin. Thank you for your help.

I don't think reinstalling will help much.

How much RAM and disc space do you have ?

You can try repairing the game through Origin though. Right click on it for the option.

I had two invisible houses.  I knew sims were there because the plumbobs were showing up.

Unfortunately I had saved my game with them still invisible.  They have been invisible for quite a few saves now as I have a lot of families to get around to.  Finally I got around to them today.

I went into each lot and changed the name of the house in build mode, saved, and now they are showing.  

Sims 3 players might remember there was a similar bug in Sims 3 or at least in the early days when I was playing it.  The houses would either disappear from the map view or they would have a strange look about them.  Going into the house and changing something on the lot and then saving seemed to fix it.  It is possibly the same to fix it in Sims 4.

PS I am on a Mac so it may be different on a PC.

Thanks for that solution. That's interesting. 

I believe this bug is the same for PC and Mac

The same is happening for me and it is very frustrating. I run sims 4 on Origin that has been very reliable until now. I am not very tech savvy and just want to play my game

Are you on PC or Mac ?

Could you send your save to @SimQARobo as he requested above ?
