It looks like it is happening in similar worlds as i have the same issue with the worlds in your screenshots
Also i think the issue is the game is limiting the amount of rentals you can have despite the cheats.
I counted that i have 21 rental units, across 4 lots, across 3 worlds. Anything more than this and i get the errors popping up on random lots. When i increase it to 22 rental units i get 2 errors in Willow Creek, and anything more than 22 i get loads of errors in Willow Creek and potentially other worlds.

I don't think that's it, I was searching on Google and there is something interesting in the developers' notes that I suppose has to do with the error.
Attached image.
I think that after the expansion the game was imposed a limit on residential lots per saved game. Which if so, I see it as very poor, because counting all the available worlds that we have to build, the developers are forcing you to not be able to have residences in all the available lots on each map, since if you count there are more than 99 lots available to build in the game, and if you remove some lots such as parks, bars, pubs, etc., you still have much more than 99 available.
So of course the multifamily lots are several lots in one, so I suppose that When you exceed the limit, the game corrupts batches created from other maps so as not to exceed your limit. Maybe this is what is hurting everyone, since I have seen gameplays of several YouTubers who also have this error in their games.
Either the developers eliminate that figure or increase it to a greater amount as they have for the limit of active families or some MOD creator that allows that figure to be varied or increased.
These are my assumptions about this.

Just been giving this some more thought and don't think that's the issue as TwistedMexi has a mod to increase the unit limit to 250 units. I've tried using this mod and still have the same issue.

I'm running out of ideas, even so I'm doing tests with my daughter's saved game because I can't find a cause for this error, since it's not something new, this has been happening for a long time, only now with the release of the expansion It has increased much more, it even happened to James Turner in the middle of a game on Twitch, and the same to other YouTubers, this is something common and EA has moved on from this along with other problems that have been going on for years.

It begun with the For Rent DLC. I tried to reinstall, repair, with or without mods. I tried everything the only solution was to backup an old save. Anyway the bug come back.
- crinrict2 years agoHero+@FoxnMoon I merged your post with an older thread, mostly cause everyone else has been posting in here for rental lots as well.
Seems rental lots may have escalated the issue (or mods are corrupting saves for good unless you tried a new saves that never had mods and also have the issue)

Have you decreased the rental units if so did that work?
