Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
@crinrictI've done some experimenting, I didn't save though. I've tried to test if it happens on other worlds too. Everything seems to work fine, but when I do it on Willow Creek, the bug only happens there. So it's isolated on Willow Creek on that save. I've tried building residential rentals on other lots on Willow Creek and the bug will always occur
@crinrictI know, I’m also testing some ways right now. I found out for some reason someone owns a business on that lot. Maybe because of; before I was able to make it a residential rental, I used a sim to purchase the lot and make it a residential rental. Then once I placed the Heffley family there. I sold it
Weird that it says that someone still owns it
@Chimichanga128 the main issue seems to be that the residential rental lot type is stuck on the lot.
When I look at it in build mode, it tells me its generic but the game thinks it's residential rental
Not sure if there's any way to fix that.
EDIT: I'm going to send your save to a EA Community Manager to pass on. I can't find any way to get the game to work.
You have 4 options
1. Abandon the save
2. Put the save aside and play a new one and see if EA can fix these issues somewhere along the line
3. Continue to play with this save and don't play with any of the lots that are corrupted and hope that it doesn't corrupt further
4. Check again if you maybe do have an even older backup where it's still working
@crinrictI hope they notice it. I don't wanna start all over again, so maybe I can take option 3 for now
Thanks for your help ^_^ I hope you can find still find something that could be able to fix the bug
I'm having a similar problem with a residential rental I placed in Forgotten Hollow. So I want to confirm that the problem isn't necessarily restricted to Willow Creek.
I will try to post an image when I get home later today.
Edited to Add: This residential rental lot is also having the "error code 132" issue I've seen reported elsewhere on this site (where players try to visit a lot or rental unit in live mode, and then are kicked to the world select screen, presumably due to corrupted objects). I plan to try to fix the problem using solutions I've seen shared in this forum.
Here is an image of the corrupted lot in Forgotten Hollow.
Hi Crin, my issue is identical to OP's with the exception that it's occurring in Forgotten Hollow instead of Willow Creek. Here are details:
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? 1.106.148.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place the "Grand Castle Estate" lot in Fledermaus Bend in Willow Creek. Purchase as Straud, convert to a Residential Rental, decorate the interior, subdivide into three units, move in some households (e.g. the Noble, Rebellious, and Virtuous Vampires). (You can find the lot I created on the gallery as "Vampire Castle Estate" by Cyberpreppy.) Play normally by playing the tenants or having other Sims try to visit the tenants.
What happens when the bug occurs? After the bug occurs, the original building on that lot will still appear when viewed in the world map. Even when demolished first hand. The image of the residential lot seems to be added to the map's background, appearing behind the square that designates the lot location, and behind any other lots placed in that location. Other lots placed in that location can be played normally, even though they appear superimposed over the now-gone residential lot.
What do you expect to see? When the residential lot is removed from the location, it should no longer appear on the map.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, many. The bug persists after removing mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It appears due to the For Rent expansion.
I've attached a better image of the problem. It's the map of Forgotten Hollow, cropped to focus on Fledermaus Bend. You can see that the building (I've been thinking of it as the "ghost castle") seems part of the background, behind the square lot indicator.
