Missing Buyable Mailbox
#1 19-06-2014 
So tonight I changed a community lot into a residential lot and forgot to place the mail box and bin before moving a sim in. I went back to hood view, moved him out and went back in again to place them-but all I can find is the bin, the SEDD mail box-Al version has gone. I exited the game and deleted the cache files and re downloaded the mail box, but it still wont show. I loaded up another lot that I know I changed from a com to a res lot and their mail box is there, but I can't use the dropper tool on it.

Where exactly is the mail box? I doubt I am just missing it as I've used it numerous times and it's normally somewhere near the bin. I thought if I had somehow borked it, clearing the cache and downloading it again should have fixed it. I am at a loss.

Isn't it somewhere under "Outside" in the buy catalog? Maybe going back to where you downloaded it from and reading the description there, could give you a clue as to where you should find it?

I'm just throwing up some balls here... :-S

The buyable mail box I have in my game it's in Misc. -> Misc., but I'm not sure if it's the same one as yours.

Do you have SimPE installed? 'Cause when all else fails and I can't find something in game no matter how hard I look (but know the package file name), I open the package in SimPE and look at the Object Data. There you have a tab called Catalog Placement, that tells you... well, the catalogue placement. Smile

Yeah, it's clear that I haven't played for far too long. Otherwise I would have thought of that too. If you *do* have SimPE and know how to operate it, please do as Nix suggests. :-)

I did open it in simPE and looked at catalog placement, I even ticked an extra box 'outside'. It simply isn't showing up. All I can think of now is something is over writing it. Isn't there something in simPE I can run to show up Guide conflicts? Does anyone know how to do that?

You can use SimPE to check for guid conflicts. More info in this tute Smile

Thanks Klaattje. Smile I've taken out a couple of Russian looking files showing up red from scanning the GUIDS. It was only a couple of days ago I think the mail box vanished, so I'm hoping one of those are the culprits.

Well it wasn't one of those two files, so I pulled the cc folder of the new, I think Russian lot and it's definitely in that folder.
Now to decide if I should work through it or just dump it. It has some nice plants and windows and deco pieces.
