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
