Black and silver badge star replacing sculptures image in sims inventory's. [SOLVED BY PATCH] «12...Next Go

waggymiley2013

Since the free anniversary update ive found a black and silver star badge replacing the wood sculpture images from my sims inventory. Lumberjack, bunny, bear, dragon all replaced with the same image until i drag them to place them in live mode. Seems like every free update now that fixes things and adds new content things go wrong. Did they replace the image or something? Like they added the weird fast forward tv goes all static. Im confused. :/ Or is my game just bugged :'(

Can you take screenshots of the badge issue. Just hit C in game, upload pix to tinypic.com get web address and remove the first half


The tv static is something that got add as a "feature" last patch it happens when you run the game at faster than normal speeds. Cc tv do t do this

Hello
Try coming completely out of the game. Then go back into the game and see if the badges are still showing in the inventory.

If they are still there, repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Play your save game and test to see if the badges are still there. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.

Edit : I have added this in a post later on in this thread.

I have this on multiple games. It's the woodworking items. I put pics in my thread of some inventory issues:



Edit: It kind of looks like we all got promotions to Texas Rangers.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the issue @greenXen . Is it affecting all the woodwork items?

@Rosemow, I haven't had a chance to test *all* woodworking, but you can see even in the picture it affects multiple woodworking items (at least the ones that can be put in personal inventories). When I put them in household inventory, they have their normal icons, but revert to the stars when I put them back into personal inventory.

Thankyou for posting the information about them having their normal icons when in the household inventory.

Hello.
Have the woodwork items been made before or after the patch?
If they were made before the patch, could you please test to see if the same badge occurs when you make new ones?

Both. I tried making a new item just to test it and it went into the inventory as a badge, too.

I'm having a similar issue with paint from reference pictures, only in that case it's showing an artists palette in place of the custom image. The paintings are fine once you drag them to wall.

Hello.
Thankyou for posting about the issue you are having with paint by reference pictures.

There was an issue related to paint by reference fixed in the patch today, but it may not be related.

Paint by reference will no longer override your ability to take photographs of differing sizes and orientations.

It also happens with landscape paintings:

The ordinary coffee mugs have a funky new look as well.

Thankyou for posting the information and screenshot of what the coffee cup looks like in the inventory of a sim since the patch @applefeather2 .

Just a thought, but maybe this has to do with the new custom content tags - that it somehow also affected this "custom" content?
Or they're just planning to add something new and exciting and this is a test gone wrong
I haven't had the chance to test this in my game, but when I do, I'll let you know if anything interesting comes up.

You could be right. My inventory is pretty messed up, so I was hoping that maybe they were working on that and some test "noise" got left behind.
