Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? MCCC, Simvasion - BuildRocketFix, TwistedMexi - BetterBuildBuy, TwistedMexi - DestroyObjectFix.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Unsure, as this is the first time I have tried to access The Secret Lab. 

I have tried:

• Removing ALL Mods.
• Repairing the game.
• Trying an unplayed game-produced household from Willow Creek - Ricky Kenyon from the Kenyon Family, Daisy Hovel lot. 
• Trying an unplayed game-produced household from Strangervillee - Dylan Sigworth from the Sigworth Family, Riverside Grove lot.
• Trying a played household member who is NOT a super-sim.
• Trying a played household member who is working towards a super-sim. 
• Turning my PC off-and-on again.
• Checking for graphic driver and general PC updates from both Windows Update and Official driver sites. 
• General fixes for 106 errors by; by clearing the cache folder, clearing the cachestr folder, localthumbcache.package file, etc.

@TheRogueStitch Do you get it on a new save as well or just that particular save ?

[TheRogueStitch]

@crinrict Hi Crin,
Thank you for your message.
I can confirm that I can access The Secret Lab in Strangerville on a brand new save - it loads no problem at all with no error.
Regards
Eve

@TheRogueStitch Guess it's something about your lot than that prevents loading.

Would you mind sending me your save game ? Instructions in my signature.

[crinrict]

@TheRogueStitch I tested your save and I can duplicate the issue on a modless game.

Is the list above all the mods you have or did you have a mod to edit the secret lab and edited it ?

[TheRogueStitch]

Hi @crinrict,

Above is the total list of all the mods I've ever had. 
Furthermore, on that particular save, was the first time I ever entered Strangerville.
Many thanks
Eve

@TheRogueStitch Do you have a backup of this save from before you entered Strangerville ? I don't see a way to solve it as there's no way to enter the lot in build mode without a mod and I think that particular mod for the secret lab isn't uptodate.

I'll pass on your save game to EA but other than a backup I don't see a solution to this.

[TheRogueStitch]

@crinrict I don't have a backup of this save unfortunately. 
I have made a sort of workaround, by uploading my Sim and their House-lot to the gallery, and redownloading them on a new save, with no mods, and was able to enter The Secret Lab with no more issues. 
Thank you for all your help!

@TheRogueStitch Hard to tell what caused it but do post back if the error happens again (especially if it's on a vanilla game)
