I think this is a long lasting bug that was introduced with the For Rent expansion pack. My save game that I played for many years is now unplayable due to this bug and this is really bad.
For other bugs I always found workarounds but for this one not. So I'm giving up at this point and won't touch this game anymore. There have been too many bugs and I have put a lot of effort into finding solutions. But a save game being corrupted is the last issue I can handle. If this game is broken so much that even save games get corrupted how can we have the courage to start a new one?
I will watch this thread maybe there is a solution in the future but for now it's better to move on and forget this game.
yeah, it happened to me again. First time after installing Lovestruck. The only solution I have for now is again to bulldoze some of your lots, remove unnecessary Sims and then the bug should disappear from the distance view (even if it is not the solution you except)… don’t know why the game cannot handle it, but I can only repeat myself. Why it cannot be solved without sacrificing our work to fill in other worlds with our own lots? Having all packs is not the best idea. It’s a shame devs cannot help with this… but at this stage the gameplay is pointless. At the time of writing this my save file is 140 mb, 1000 Sims (75 played, rest unplayed), all addons, no mods. I had to sacrifice residential rental units as well because 1 unit is apparently treated like 1 additional lot for your save file. I had to resign from external content due to fact For Rent EP messed everything up. Is there anything we can do with that, The Sims Team and EA?
