Copperdale neighborhood missing from "Destination Worlds"

[76561198213095365]

This is serious problem and I am wondering if anyone else is having the same exact problem as me and here is the problem. Number 1, I have three locked worlds that I never unlocked that are full display (including the university from an expansion pack, Glimmerbrook, and Tartosa), but Copperdale is missing from the list of locked worlds leading me under the impression that I will not be able to travel to Copperdale either even if I purchased the High School Expansion pack that I currently do not own yet. Number 2, I want to know if it is possible for the Copperdale to show up in the list of destination worlds if reinstalling the game. I already tried to do various different things such as deleting the thumbnail cache file, repairing The Sims 4 on Origin, temporarily moving out my save and mod files by placing them outside of The Sims 4 folder, and temporarily removing all mods from game, but none of that worked. So far I have exhausted all of my options, except for reinstalling, but I want to know for a certainty if reinstalling the game will get the Copperdale world to appear as being locked instead of absent in the list of destination worlds.

I know for a certainty that repairing The Sims 4 on Origin does not work, because all files have now been validated, but Copperdale is missing. I also tried opening The Sims 4 directly from Origin instead of clicking on The Sims 4 icon, but still not working and Copperdale is still missing. On a side note, The Sims 4 will open up for me directly from Origin, but regardless of how I open up the game Copperdale will not appear to me as a locked neighborhood (or in other words "world" despite the fact they are not really big enough to be considered actual worlds on The Sims 4) contrary to the other three neighborhoods showing up that I have not unlocked yet.

Are all your mods updated?

This is for those that bought the game, but maybe the same issue?

Twistedmexi TOOL is updated now.

The last post in the thread has your issue (maybe that's you! :D )

I had seen that as well even before you contacted me about this, but this player apparently still has the issue unresolved. Why should I buy the Highschool Expansion pack knowing that I may not be able to travel there due it not showing up on my list of destination worlds? It should already be listed among the locked worlds that I have not unlocked yet, but sadly it has not shown up yet. I contacted someone earlier from the Sims forum and recommended a clean install, but it feels like a gamble to me, because apparently no one has mentioned anywhere to prove that a clean install actually works or not for bringing a missing neighborhood that should appear among the long list of destination worlds.

I can't really advise on you buying the pack or not, that's your decision. I'm planning on getting it, but the game breaking bugs was so many this time, that I'm waiting to see how EA handles it before I'm updating and buying the pack.

I'd advise posting in the thread I linked though, click ME TOO on the first post, and describe your issue. It's important to state if you have mods or not. Even if EA doesn't fix it quickly, there are helpful people that often come up with workarounds or tips etc, and you can keep up with that if you read the thread.

If it is mod-related the advise is to update your mods, all of them, unless it's not the mentioned mod in the thread (T.O.O.L.). Not sure why reinstalling the game is needed, could you have misinterpreted what was said on the sims forum?

Copperdale shows up in my game, so whatever is going on with the bug reports on Copperdale not being in their game isn't a basegame issue.

Remove all your mods and CC then delete the localthumbcache.package file. You MUST delete that file as well when you change your mod loadout or game won't see the changes.

You own game on Steam, so should be doing a file verification through Steam (not through Origin). Rightclick game in Steam library, go to Properties - Local Game Files - and hit "verify integrity of game files".

It took me a little while, but I finally figured out how to very integrity of game files for The SIms 4 on Steam, buy it did not work. Even after all files had been validated the Copperdale neighborhood is still missing. Does anyone for certain if a clean install from reinstalling the game will work in bringing the Copperdale neighborhood to the list of destination worlds?

I think the mods are affecting the game. So update them.

Can you list the mods and CC you are using?

If temporarily removing the mods does not work then what makes you think it will work this time by udpating? Only my MCCC currently needed an update to the latest version, but I already did that by getting that .2 version instead of .1. Also, I only use four mods with one of which does not need updating (more traits mod) and the other two mods were in direct response to the broken update.

I would follow Angela's advice and list your mods and custom content. It might pin point what the issue could be.

If temporarily removing the mods does not work

Did you do this EXACTLY -

Remove ALL your mods and CC

Delete the localthumbcache.package file

Yes. Temporarily as in removing the mods and not turning them back on yet by first logging in to The Sims 4 without the mods, but it did not work. Even without the mods the new neighborhood is still absent. (Also, the MCCC is obviously the most up to date version, but the other three mods are thepancake-1-MoretraitsinCaS-vf1-1.77.package which does not need updating and two mods that are only very recent from LittleMsSam_RBF for stopping the cellphone change color and the traits buff fix packages which dates from 7/30/2022.)

Says on its mod page the tuning file needs updating. So remove that mod now.

Then delete the localthumbcache.package file.

Then do a file verification through Steam (not through Origin). Rightclick game in Steam library, go to Properties - Local Game Files - and hit "verify integrity of game files".

The start a brand new savegame entirely and see if problem still exists.
