Known issue clarification please and thank you

[Alistaire]

Is the fix for this going to be in this update? It showing up at the bottom under known issues implies it's not.

Just let us know when the "fix" for this (not that it's really something broken) is so we can all dismantle our furnishings and start over after.

I just relocated, so I'm holding off on really decorating it fully until after the patch. Taking no chances.

This has been updated now -- so it's clearer. :)

So, basically, if you have overlapping aquariums, you're screwed, but if you don't you should be safe.

So aquariums clipping together will bust open a black hole sucking in all clipping things in the room. Ouch.

Only when they implement the aquarium fix at some point in the future, but yes, basically if you clip aquariums, then you will lose everything that is clipped in your house. I'm really glad my aquarium is in storage. It will remain their until their fix.

Who would have thought that two aquariums coming into contact would have the same effect as putting a portable hole into a bag of holding.

The final notes make it sound even scarier...

If an estate contains overlapping aquariums, all furnishings in the estate that are overlapping or clipping, regardless of whether they are in proximity to an aquarium, may be permanently deleted when the fix for this issue is implemented.

First thing I'm doing upon logging in is moving the current aquarium in my private, FC, FC Room and apartment into storage until after the fix. Assuming the fix is coming at a later date...

Thank goodness for this! I was so worried that my house would be half empty when I log in tomorrow. I can finally rest easy.

From what it says there it's only really going to be an issue if you clip two aquariums together. If you only have one in your house and have no intention of adding more then you should have nothing to worry about. Just make sure that your FC and tenants for your personal home are informed of this bug. I would recommend remove decorating permissions for other people until the bug is dealt with, just in case they accidentally clip aquariums together and destroy half the house.

First off, the problem was only ever going to happen after the fix (whenever that happens). Secondly, while it says it only happens with 2 aquariums clipping together, I'd rather store my aquariums in all my housing places (personal, FC house, FC room, apt) until after the fix just to be extra safe in case the fix isn't written quite as well as they think and ends up only seeing something clipped with an aquarium instead of another aquarium. I've spent way too much time designing and re-designing everything to risk something clipping and losing 90% of my house, FC house, apt, and/or FC room. I will be storing any aquariums on Tuesday (I stored the one in my personal house a few days ago, but I forgot about all the others).
