Hi. I have a house that does not show up in the main menu. It's been blank for about a month now. It did show back up only once, but it's been gone since. I'm pretty sure the problem is with the house. I tried to add an object to the house as that sometimes helps. I went to copy to the library. The family copied fine, the family with house copied fine, but when I evicted them to copy the house to the library, the box for copy was blank and the house showed up blank in the library. In the main menu, the box is blank and when I click on it you get the two pictures, one of the family and the other of the house, the family is there, the house box is blank.
He has vacation homes and when there, those houses show up in the main menu.
I also tried to delete and replace the lot grid the house was on. This resulted in seeing the lights from the house and the fish from his ponds left on the map where no lot existed including the lot grid. I also moved the house to another lot. When I went to make the transfer with the move tool, the box was blank.
The house plays fine, so I have continued to use it. However, I find it disconcerting and am not sure what to make of it. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this has happened and how to get it back.
thanks, Bear
ps I've just tried copying the house to the library. It went in blank. I then started a new town and put the blank house into the game. I loaded showing the house on the lot to the point where it asks if you want to rotate the house and the game froze. I had to use the task manager to quit the game. I think I can assume there was a haunted house in that blank icon ;-)
