How to add lots with no Type? Ex. Residential, Park, Lounge etc.

Venna wrote:I've been trying to update my towns into something more bearable and lively to live in. The Cherry Blossom Park Lot was a beautiful addition, but I can't seem to add it. Every time I try, I get an in-game message that says "System Error" and thus the lot doesn't appear. Any idea on what the problem is and how to fix it? Thank you.

Venna wrote:Thanks for replying. I downloaded the lots from various websites and placed them in the Tray folders. However I never did check to see if the creators put types or not. I have placed a couple of other lots and they worked only if a Type was listed when I checked them in My Gallery in the game. The Cherry Blossom park was from a French Custom Content Maker and the whole website was in French. What little I could translate never mentioned anything of 'No type listed" Could be they just created the lot to show you what they have done, but you can't use it?

Thank you again.

If you link me to that "Cherry Blossom Park", I will try placing it in my own game, and keep you posted.

I already had to get rid of some hairstyles because they kept crashing my game every time I applied them. As for the park, it was supposed to be more grassier and I was aiming to use it in Willow Creek. However you could be right with having a legit version having more of an advantage. Thank you so much for checking the issue out.

Just try renaming the folder "Mods", inside Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4. Change the folder name into anything else. And when you re-start the game next time, the game won't recognize the folder anymore. 

Then try placing the lot again.

If you do it this way and it works, you at least know that probably one of your CC is causing the issue. If it still doesn't work, you can assume though that this is some sort of in-game glitch. Good luck and keep us posted !

Yes, if you change it back to "Mods", later on, the folder and its contents will be recognized again.

P.S. I also noticed that some people with legit games were having the issue too, when it came out back in September. Could be an in-game glitch after all.

And on a side note, I've been reading up on other posts about my other annoying issue but I still remain a bit confused. Recently when I started playing around with my mods, I was always signed on to the Gallery. About two days ago when my game crashed, I discovered my name was no longer in the top right hand corner, but a big red RLD! was in it's place. Now I keep seeing problems and fixes related to Origin but my Origin just finished updating and there has been no change. When I keep restarting the game, these notifications that keep saying something along the lines of "The server is done for maintenance in 10/5 minutes" pop up. And coincidentally they appear EVERY time I chose to play. It's really annoying me and I would love to know if there is any clear solution I missed as well?

Let's forget about the RLD! for now. Are you basically able to download stuff from the Gallery, in your pirated Sims 4 ?

And are you also using GameBooster, by chance ?

There were a few hairstyles I had that weren't black in color naturally in any display plot, but a light brown. Whenever I added them to my sims, the game would crash. Now I can't open the Community portion of the Gallery and the game always brings up the damn "server under maintenance" notification. 

And no I am not using GameBooster. I have no idea what that is actually >_<
