    I had this problem starting today and found a solution that worked for me.  I have NRass Master Controller Mod installed (http://nraas.wikispaces.com/MasterController  ). I clicked on my sim and selected NRass>Master Controller>Housedhold>Reset Lot.  My sim's lot was then reset and the map icons reapeared. 

    I don't know if this is going to be only a temporary fix but I figure if I have the problem again I can simply reset my lot again.  Sim's wishes, skills, and status were not effected incase this was a worry.  Hope this helps.

To solve this problem (you know, after I gave up on reaching customer 'support'), I took the following steps:

Entered Edit town mode, and evicted my family, including the house, which I placed on an empty lot.

I then evicted them a second time (because I like the original spot), selling the second house and moving them back into the original house.

Problem solved, for now at least.

I was having the same issue while my Sim was in Al Simhara. From reading this thread I gathered that the lot my Sim lived on was bugged - that would be the base camp. So while I did a little town editing for a quest (the house I had to go to was unoccupied so I moved a Sim there), I also wrote some random text in the lot description for the base camp - that seems to have fixed the issue 🙂

    I have a  super easy and simple solution If anyone is still having this problem. Try duplicating the save file from the main menu of the game. There’s a little button that creates a duplicate save file of the save file selected. It fixed the problem by copying the save file without the problem that’s causing the map icons not to show I guess. I’m not sure if it will fix this problem for everyone but it did for me.

    it doesn’t hurt to try this since it’s so easy and won’t ruin your game even worse.

    I had this problem and tried duplicating the save file by going to main menu and clicking the file duplicate button. I then entered the duplicated save file went to zoom out and tada! Map icons are back. Now I just play the duplicate save file and delete the original.

    Doing this made it so I didn’t have to move my sims, edit the town or start a new game which would have reset relationships, wishes, and make me have to replace or remake lots or re-edit the map to make to make it as close to how I had it.
