Re: Lots Endless Loading From Edit World Screen

@xSinfulSimx  Did you create any residential rentals?  That's a known issue:

One rental can corrupt the entire world it's in, although not the entire save as far as I've seen.

Either way, this instance of this save may be corrupted beyond repair.  But you can try loading a backup:

    I have some residental rentals in the save in general, but none in that world specifically (San Saquoia fwiw).  Oddly, up until recently it was working and even today it was working.  Laid a lot went to the next and it just started loading forever (and the lot I had just laid was not a rental).  I thought the issue with rentals was anything over 6?  Or is it all of them now? ☹️  
    Would really suck to have to start all over when I thought I was doing right with the cc/mod free world and filling it up to play in, which was also super time consuming. 

    Tried a couple fo save recovers (even back to a point when it was previously working, and no dice.  Still not working).

    @xSinfulSimx  Then I guess I would put aside this save for now and work on something else.  It's possible EA will fix the underlying issue, and in the meantime, can you build or create sims that you'll use later?  I know it's not ideal, but at least you'd have something to build on if the issue is addressed, or if it's never addressed and this save is toast.

    The Residential Rentals can sometimes corrupt worlds by virtue of their very presence, not only when there are over six units.
