Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
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.
Same this is how I have been playing I just can not build any more Residential Rentals with more than one unit on it. I have been trouble shooting this for over three months just to get the game usable. EA should pay me to play this game at this point. My Save file is no where near 130 so I think we both have two different ways to get to this error. Good Luck trouble shooting andI hope within the next few years they release something to fix this.
Ugh, this is bad news. I'm a hardcore, many-household rotational player. I'm doomed.
