Deleted Apartment Item Still Breaks

lovejess2

Hey
I deleted a drain a bit back and now it is releasing a smell and you can still hover over it and click on it but when she does the action resets. I tried resetting the item but that doesn't work. She is constantly getting the tense trait because of the smell please help.

What traits does your lot have?

Hello
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. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " 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 from the desktop sims 4 folder

I did both and it didn't help.

I am not sure if you would be able to because of its location but could you try building a room around where the item is/was then delete the room and see if that helps?

@lovejess2 was this in one of the pre-built City Living apartments? If so, there may be programming attached to that particular apartment that causes a bug if the drain is moved/removed. If building a new room around the area doesn't work, I'd recommend starting (or loading) a different save where you haven't altered the apartment. You could then try saving the original room with the drain intact to your library and placing it in the apartment in your current save.

This is a lot trait, and not a structure trait. The trait can not be deleted. You will have that smell and the bubbling over, the rats and urine smell also, not to mention bugs. This has more to do with the lot, than the structure itself.

Yeah I was guessing that. I was able to clean the smell though so its not a big problem for me at the moment.

its a floor odour that you have to clean with a mop maybe the paitings are in the way, comes with the tlc lots

Hello
I thought that your removal of the drain may have stopped the effect of the Needs TLC trait affecting that part of the room, but it seems that the section of the apartment will still be affected.
The effect of the lot trait would still have been affecting the rest of the apartment, but I wondered if the drain removal may have perhaps helped that area.
