Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.107.151.1020 DX9

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load the Tomarang World, Replace the Tam Nang lot (30x20) with different lots from the gallery, play the Cahyaputri household and move a tentant in (probably not necessary) let the game run for a sim day so that everything loads, follow the teen to school, have a rental incident occur (probably not necessary) then after a day, go back to manage worlds, keep replacing the Tam Nang lot (30x20) with lots on the gallery like residential rental lots, when the UI doesn't display the residential rental units correctly you have managed to replicate the bug and corrupted the lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? The lot is now corrupted, it doesn't display things correctly like residential rental units, it doesn't show the lot correctly in manage worlds. If you load a new save the lot is still corrupted and if you try and place down something like a gym on the lot it will not display it correctly in manage worlds and if you go back to the lot it is now empty because the lot is corrupted in the game.
What do you expect to see? Being able to edit a lot in the game without it getting corrupted.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Please merge this with [OPEN] Orange/Green Exclamation signs over lots / Houses disappear.
Hello Sims Team.
I encountered the Corrupted Lot bug and I wanted to see if I could replicate this bug with a new fresh install on a different computer, the folder is new, no mods. I managed to replicate the bug after playing for 20 minutes with the Cahyaputri household and placing down and replacing buildings on the Tam Nang Sands lot in Tomarang. In my case I downloaded a couple of different lots like a gym and a residential rental lot and replaced them on the lot. Then I went and played the Cahyaputri household for a sim day, I moved in a tenant, I followed the teen in the household to school and I handled a residential rental incident where they had water leaks.
On the second sim day I went back to manage worlds, I went to the Tam Nang Sands lot and started replacing the buildings again, when I placed down a 20x20 residential rental lot "Taka Soi 15" from Wafl on the gallery I noticed that the UI did not display the rental units correctly. I went back to the lot, and manage worlds did not show the rental units correctly, the lot is now corrupted.
At this state, the lot is corrupted and it's also corrupted across saves, This bug seems to corrupt the entire game. I started a new game again and I tried placing down a gym from the gallery when I go back to manage world the lot doesn't have an icon and going back to the lot shows the lot as empty.
Here are the saves that I used:
This is the first save when the problem first occurred and it has the Taka Soi 15 building which doesn't show the rental units correctly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p_QGKYIFQF3SWaCu6imBxXChZM61m5Dw/view?usp=sharing
This is the second save when I selected New Game with the now corrupted lot with a gym that shows up as empty in manage worlds from now on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FNy5HKAQQrpo_5At8l🤭QraQZDESaQvb/view?usp=sharing
This bug seems very serious and you should prioritize fixing it.
