Seems like they are hiding behind this bug. Poor customer service if you ask me.
My issue didn't start until I downloaded For Rent. I am beyond frustrated and highly distraught. This is my legacy of 17 generations. I refuse to believe this is due to file size, and this was caused by For Rent. The second I downloaded For Rent and purchased an apartment, I was getting errors that I had to download a mod to fix (suggested by volunteers on Discord). I restarted this save ten times or so from my backups because the apartments/save kept corrupting, even without mods (which is the EXTREMELY frustrating part). I couldn't demolish them at all, and I couldn't sell the ones I owned. I recovered a save, demolished all the corrupt ones, and left the lots blank. It seemed to solve the problem because my lots were no longer corrupt, but now, especially after Life and Death was released, all the lot types are turning into residential lots, and the builds on those lots have disappeared. This seems to be happening in every world where I placed an apartment. I really want to know if this can be saved before I try a new save file without For Rent because I am over that pack, as much as I wanted to love it. This save is very sentimental because it helped me through some rough patches in my life, and I don't want to have to delete it and "start over." I also get no LEs anytime I visit these lots (in-game or MCCC).
