Re: [FIXED] Corrupted (R-rental) lot/Map doesn't load anymore/White Screen

Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue.

Hi @LeccaLovesYou @NightmareDisease 

I tested both of your saves and got the same issue with Tomarang not being able to load. Something corrupts a lot in the world I think and then game can't load it. It throws a UI Exception. The Exception wasn't the same so I'm not sure what's going on.

The solution for this bug: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2022/06/world-appears-twice-on-world-map/ also helped me get your worlds back to loading. You'll loose all the houses but you can save your families to the a lot in a different world. You will also loose everything related to the pack in other worlds and will need to re-do that.

Disabling For Rent is also a solution that seems to work.

I don't know if the error will come back or what's triggering it so please keep backups.

I'm a bit unclear why all saves are affected for some of you but did you close down the game completely when switching from one save to another ? Sometimes bugs can be contagious .. meaning, if you don't close down the game completely and then load a different save, the same issue can occur in another as well.

Will forward your saves to EA. Hopefully it will help them fix the source.

I got to fix it but it was very hacky and it needs you to know the location of the corrupt lot and have MCCC.

1. CTRL+SHIFT+C then type "mccc [firstname] [lastname]"  of the sim who lives in the neighborhood (not just the world because you need to be able to see the lot where this sim lives) where the corrupt lot is. It should open the sim's dialogue box from MCCC.

2. Click on MCCC Cheats (or just cheats i forgot) then "Play Household".

3. Once you're in the household, click on the corrupt lot and visit.

4. Go to build buy mode once you're in that lot and change it out of residential rental, then back again, then build one small room and assign that to a unit. 

5. Go to manage worlds to see if it got fixed.

    Thank you for all your help @crinrict !!  Was hoping I would not lose the lot I was working on when the issue first occurred as I had spent 2 days working on it. I had saved the lot to my library prior to the crash but it does seem that the lot itself is completely bugged. Any world I place the lot into is then afflicted with the endless white map screen. My game is also experiencing many of the other bugs seen on the forums. Devastating.

    @LeccaLovesYou Do you have the lot in the gallery ? Sounds potentially helpful to have the lot itself that's causing issues.

    @crinrict I did have it on the gallery but I removed it so no one else would download it and bug their game by mistake. I am happy to put it back up if you want to download it yourself.

    @LeccaLovesYou I tested your build and I couldn't figure out what's broken. All your saved states seems to have issues.

    There's LastUIException being thrown

    Only suggestion I have for now to keep it and maybe try again once EA fixes something about this stuff.

    I'm going to forward your tray files to a CM so hopefully it helps them figure out what's going on

    Hey so it's been a little while since I replied, I have personally had this bug for a whole week now and thus far nothing had worked until tonight I went into my computer and did ''a clean update or reparation or something like that'' a.k.a. i went in my computer's system configuration by typing ms.config in the computer search bar, disabled everything (except windows programs) and restarted my computer, it fixed the preview of my world, meaning I can see the world and lot information but any attempts to actually play or build or anything in tomarang has been met with the game crashing, lagging, endless loading screen or just straight up closing in my face so as I am one step further towards repairing my game without deleting everything, I have also spent about half an hour today with ea live chat support who told me they took the case up to the appropriate experts and we should have this issue fixed within the next ten days and it shall be posted on their official website, so thank you a whole giant lot to crinrict for helping us all with this issue and look out for the official sims team update!!       -Night

    Mine was in San sequoia too, the white screen in Tomorang might be the original thread we posted in.
