Hi there,
It would be hugely appreciative if someone could help me with this bug/issue
I was mucking around with the "testingcheats" cheat and accidentally clicked
on something (on the mailbox) that made the mailbox become my sims' head.
I have to admit that I found it quite funny at first.... until I couldn't get it off
I restarted my game, and it was off my sims' head but had somehow turned
itself into a second, fully functional mailbox on my home lot. This would normally
not bother me too much but it is also preventing my from sharing my house to
the gallery/mylibrary (says it has been shared but can't be found on the gallery
or my library.) So I tried what usually fixes my problems which is to "repair game"
on Origin. Which did something...... it didn't remove the second mailbox but
instead added a unicorn stuffed animal outside my property which makes it
non-deletable >
So right now I have two mailboxes and a spare, permanent unicorn sitting
on my street staring everybody up as they walk past.
Does anybody else have the same issue and/or a solution? As I said at the
start it would be much appreciated.
I have contacted EA with no luck but was assured that if I posted here I
would get a reply. So I took their word for it and here I am
Thanks, Levi.

Here's your reply (although you probably won't like it):
Others have this issue with the mail box and I have not found anyone who knows how to delete the extra mail box (this is also a problem if you turn an residental lot into a commercial one. The mail box also gets stuck)
As for the unicorn, the game MIGHT clean that up by itself. It does clean up stuff from time to time but I kinda doubt it recognizes the unicorn as a object that needs deleting so you're probably stuck with it.
I can offer you two solutions
Good Luck

I hit that button by accident, on the mailbox, too, and had the same thing happen with the extra mailbox. I had just shared the house on the gallery right before then. I was re-sharing a prior house that hadn't been decorated for Christmas, so I put the undecorated house back in and redecorated it and reshared it. However, four people had already downloaded it, which floored me. Normally I don't get that many downloads right away. Go figure. ;-)
Anyway...all was solved by reverting to the saved copy, but I sure hope EA fixes this problem!

I had the same mailbox problem! I figured out how to get off of her head but couldn't delete it but i eventually found this cheat online objects.remove_object_set_as_head
I put the large mailbox as her head again and then used the cheat. Hope this helps you.

Does the remove the extra mailbox if it's no longer a head ?

I think it only works when it's on their head. I just ctrl + left clicked the large mailbox and "set as head" again and then deleted it from there.
