Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
Some of this for sure. The suggestion there appears to be not to save and I have saved it. I tried u installing some add ons. I’m thinking it started with lovestruck so I uninstalled that. I do have the lots returning to default but only in willows creak and I cannot change their name in build mode because I can’t even load to build mode. I’m unsure what to do here
Oh, another 60 page thread on this issue. How many are there? When will there be a solution?
I notice something about the size of my save file vs corrupted lots. If I keep the save file under 130,000 KB with homes and residential rentals, the game will actually play normal. Usually, I will try to keep the save file under 125,000 KB, lots won't disappear. But as soon as I build another lot or download a huge and loaded home from the gallery, and go back to Willow Creek or New Crest, the lots will disappear and the corruption starts. Not only that, I tried adding more sims to my game. Again, If I push the save button and the save file reaches over 130,000 KB, lots start disappearing. Now I wonder if anyone out there that has a bigger save file than 130,000 KB and not having any issues at all? If so, I think EA should look into coding the save function to allow bigger saves.
Interesting. I checked my bigger save files which had those problems and they have 110MB or less. Maybe the number is not universal for everyone. I was thinking about some kind of cap for the amount of objects in the save file: some lots disappeard completely while had parts missing. Either way, I wonder why would weight of the file be such a problem if I have plenty of space on my pc.
