Private House Relocation - Help! I won but it won't let me relocate!

[Teegan]

I'm not even getting those options. No choice given, just:
On winning, given the option to "Finalize your purchase and claim your plot of land?" and selected "Yes"
Next window says "Confirm the purchase of this private plot?" and selected "Yes".
"Unable to complete transaction. You cannot acquire any more deeds."

So the bug is causing it to not give me to option to relocate.

You are transferring a private plot to a private plot correct cause you can't do private to FC or FC to private? I believe you said you were but just checking.

Yes, it is a private plot to private plot. I'm really not doing anything weird! My only guess is maybe the bug has been caused by my private house being in what is NOW an FC ward, because I got it before the changes to the housing system. The estate is still listed as private estate. So perhaps it doesn't detect that it's a private to private and then doesn't give me the relocation option.

I have now made a video of the bug in action, and you can see that I am doing private to private (but one is in an FC ward), that storage is fine etc etc. I even removed the aetheryte as one reply suggested!

Hope a GM can assist you. That's odd.

Very curious to find out what happens here. Best of luck OP!

[Teegan]

Well, here goes...I've chased up the GMs again to see if a fix is going to happen. Otherwise, I might have to gamble on relinquishing my current plot and then try to buy. Wish me luck!

I'd really think hard about relinquishing your present plot. I understand that you really, really want to relocate but if it doesn't work you'll have no house at all and a load of furniture to store. It's also possible you might run into difficulties when you try and buy again.

I did relinquish a personal house recently, having run into an unexpected feature of the new system where one of my characters is flagged because he bought the FC house, so none of my alts can bid on a FC house while he is in that FC. Relinquishing got me nowhere, because his personal house wasn't the issue. I just read the error message saying I owned too many houses and assumed it was.
Last lottery, I got lucky and got him another personal, but storing all his furniture until that happened was a pain and I really missed my house.

Edit: Do let us know how you get on!

I'm so sorry this happened to you too!

I presume you were bidding on an FC house and that's when you got the error? At the bidding point, not the purchase point? Just to see how similar the bug is. I've had people mention this one, which is why I removed all my characters from their FCs to try and fix it, is that what worked for you?

Yeah, I'm really scared to do it but storing furniture is not too much of a problem as my FC mates let me stash it all in the FC house storage which had plenty of space. That and my apartment storage. I've actually emptied the house pre-emptively so that if I go for it, I'm ready at the last minute. I don't mind too much as I want to re-do my interior anyway.

The main thing is I'll be sad to end up with no private plot if it fails. The problem is...if I don't try, I'll always wonder if it would have worked! XD

Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying because that's exactly how I felt. That plot would have been our FC forever home. However, once that little personal house in the LB was gone and I had nothing to show for it, I felt rather differently!

And to confirm, yes, the error message came up for me at the bidding point and it's been confirmed it is not a bug. Removing that character from the FC allowed me to put in bids on my qualifying alts.
