Hey @crinrict
Thanks for the quick reply!
There are many residential rentals scattered throughout the worlds in the save file, though none in the particular neighborhoods where I saw this glitch of the default lots appear.
The lots are a mixture… some I built myself and others are from the gallery. None were recently added to the save file though (not since the update, before which time everything seemed to be fine). It’s a save file I’ve built over many years so they’ve been added to the world from the gallery over an extended period of time.
It sounds like my situation is presenting exactly the same as how @Metroptimist described theirs, other than the bulldozed lot. No orange or green exclamation marks on any of the maps.
As I’m thinking about it though, I believe the lots I had endless loading screens for live mode were lots that were either residential rentals or families who owned one. The lots I was able to get into live mode for didn’t have any connection to residential rentals… Would that be a cause of the endless loading. I’ll can test more lots for that correlation related to the endless loading screens and get back to you though if you’d like.
Thanks @crinrict I appreciate your feedback and you taking the time to look for those threads.
I consider myself lucky that this is the first time I’ve experienced save corruption. A couple questions as I’ve never dealt with this before…
a) If I put a backup version of the save from before the last update into my game, is it likely that that version is also corrupted or is there a chance it will run properly?
b) If I save households or lots from the corrupt save to my tray and insert them into a new save file, is that safe to do?
I'm having the same problem after the update
Community ManagerThanks all,
At this time we have received plenty of saves for this issue and do not anticipate that additional saves will be needed.
Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.
Thanks!
I already sent you my savefile. It's still corrupted on the latest game version.
Any update on this bug?
The bug is coming back after Life & Death update. Before this, I was able to fix it by decreasing the favorited sims count. I created sims NPCs & favorited them all & the bug happened. Then I started a new game with the same creations but I only favorited 1 sim.
After I updated to Life & Death, the bug happened again in the same save file even though my sim count is just 1.
I'm sure it's not caused by mods because in my other save game using the same mods that has fewer sims count, the bug didn't happen.
I'm running out of ideas on how to find the cause of this bug.
