So my sim was at a party, and the on the way home, trees just appeared in the middle of the road...? They certainly weren't there before, so it's really weird. https://ibb.co/SRL5K8r

This is what happens when you don't pull weeds growing through cracks....

I have no idea. What world is that? EA? Did you download a fixed version of it and keep playing the save? That can cause weirdness like that. Can you delete the trees from edit town?

This is in Moonlight Falls. I don't have a fixed version of it. I did manage to delete them through Edit Town... sort of. I discovered some more randomly placed trees around my world Some had even spawned on community lots, like through the building on my pool lot and in a parking lot I had built, but I can't remove that one

There's nothing I know of that would cause that except perhaps data corruption of some kind. How long have you been playing this save? Is anything else weird happening?

I've had the save for almost a year, or for exactly a year, I think. I don't really know. I've been mostly building, though, and I've rarely played any families until recently. Nothing weird has happened, though. This is pretty much the first strange thing that has happened. Don't know if this matters, but, I've been using a save cleaner, so everything should be okay...maybe...

And I think I should mention something. Before these trees appeared, I heard some chime. Can't describe it exactly, but it sounded, uh... "magical," I guess? My sim was at the arcade when it happened but it didn't seem to be related to any arcade, pinball, and claw machines I had there, and there wasn't any associated moodlets either. So I looked the around area and neighboring lots and that's when the trees appeared. My sim was only at the arcade for two minutes IRL and I remember nothing being there before.

EDIT: I remembered something. There was an empty lot next to a resort I built, and I remembered that a children's play table had randomly showed up there. But I didn't think much of it and carried on.

I hear these too sometimes. Do you play a rotation of your sims? I hear odd chimes or music most often when I play more than one family in a game. You will hear the effects sometimes when another sim does something like age up, lose a family member, increase a skill, etc. I would have to hear the noise to be sure which, but I've gotten pretty good at identifying the various noises, even though I know nothing else about the inner workings of the game.

Also, sometimes a neighbor or someone nearby is doing something that makes certain noises. I have autonomous WooHoo in my games and I hear that sound a lot from neighbors our anywhere there's something Sims can woohoo inside of.

I don't think there's any system to spawn trees so not sure the chime is related. It seems to me like the position data of these objects is getting improperly read/written which isn't a good sign. Either that or your game is haunted. I'd be careful and keep backups if you plan to continue with the save.

Yeah, I've made a backup just in case. But what would cause the position data to get read improperly? That's weird, because I've had saves which I've been playing for longer (even before I had the save cleaner, assuming it's beneficial in this situation) and this is the first time something like this has happened. And I think had there been an actual error, a log or something would've been generated, I guess.

Okay, so now a tree spawned in the middle of a house I had built... Luckily I kept a copy of it in my library, so I bulldozed it, placed it back, and the tree was gone. Turns out it didn't work... The tree showed up again, and I can't select it to delete it, it won't let me... I can't even select it in Build/Buy and "Edit Town"

Something is definitely wrong with that save file. I'm not sure what would cause it but it's giving you signs. It's kind of like when a Sim has a dog for a parent. We know data pointers are getting crossed.
