Maxis object gone walkabout...

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

On of my original ingame sidetables have disappeared from the game.
They still appear on houses that previously had them, but using the
eyedropper tool brings up a different table which I downloaded
recently.

*ponders*

Why is it so?

Get rid of the downloaded table and your default should come back.
Remember that all the downloads are still in beta and some bugs do occur.
Some newer creators clone the object but don't change any other info so it
ends up replacing the old object.

You can delete it 'in game'.

Have you restarted the game? I had a chair disappear, I found out which
file I had to delete, deleted it in the game and after restarting the
game the chair was back.

UPDATE:

Table has returned to the catalogue (hurrah! twas the little end table
with criss-crossed legs), but I imagine it will need to be rebought in
the houses that it belonged to.

Next time I play I'll go back to the Caliente house and see if
Michael's urn comes back...
