    I have no idea what's happened but it's now on every household I play. Anyone know what I can do?

      Have you tried to Repair the game? You can right click the game in your My Games tab and choose Repair. It might take a few minutes, but maybe it would help. I just did it yesterday to fix a fridge and cooking bug.

      Try repairing your game via Origin.

      EDIT: It also looks like you have enabled laptop mode, try disabling it via game options.

      Will that mess up any of the gameplay that we have played by doing that? Hope that make sense!

      Repair Game shouldn't touch gameplay at all, but you can make sure by backing up your The Sims 4 folder first.

      Sometimes weird things happen upon from return from CAS. The problem you had happened to me when I changed a sims last name via cas.fulleditmode. Another time something similar happened when I was just choosing outfits.

      You can either exit without saving or if possible just travel to another lot. Everything went back to normal for me. This glitch doesn't happen every time, I think only 3 times so far.

      Just as an update, I had this happen again and repairing the game fixed the problem and didn't affect my game saves at all. Hope that helps!

      No mods or custom content. I did use the testing cheats true to change the last names of my Sims who married into the family but that's it.

      You probably didn't know about this cheat causing problems in the game since you just bought it. The developers said it was kind of a use at your own risk type thing awhile ago, so no clue if there are any plans to fix this.

      My game did that one time I was playing, but never again. I have no idea why it started or why it stopped.

      I've had this happen to me several times. One time my sim ended up on the secret lot from outdoor retreat with his house floating somewhere off in the far distance. I made my sim travel to nightclub and when he came home all was normal.
      Edit: I have no mods and no cc

      This happens to me on a regular basis in Umbridge Manor whenever I attempt to change the kid's haircolor. The lot merges with the top corner neighbourhood in Oasis Springs. I just exit without saving and gave up on trying to change his hair color. Weirder stories.

      For me, it happens when using CAS. No cheating, just changing haircolor.
