Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
@Clarohine If you completely bulldoze one of the lots and place a new building on it, do you have the same issue? You don't need to save your progress after doing so, in fact please don't: it's better if you preserve the game's automatic backups, in case you need them later, and saving erases the oldest backup.
Please also let me know whether you use mods or custom content.
I have the same issue. I have a lot with an orange exclamation over it. When i go into it the house is gone but the family is still there. I have tried backing up and reinstalling the game, same issue. If i go to lot options it looks like it is a retail store ( family owned a retail location as well). If I sell the retail store the lot becomes unuseable. Cannot delete it, cannot edit it. I sent aomw save files along but they said they were a bit busy and may not be able to look at them. Afraid to use the game if its been spreading in other peoples games. No cc used and no mods. Only EA products
