Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
Yea i think you might be right with the behaviour happening in order. I think with mine its Willow Creek first.
After creating 40+ units across my entire save (max of 18 units on 1 residential rental lot) i checked my world map and there is loads of orange and green lot errors all over the place. Its very random but i've attached some screenshots of the worlds in question...
You all have done some very impressive testing here <3 I hope they fix it soon!
@sabodreyar fyi the 99 unit limit is for residential rental units, not for residential lots or other lot types-- you can build on every lot in every world in the game, you just can't make them all residential rentals.
@nathaneous1 You mentioned a max of 18 units per lot, I assume you are using the cheat to increase the usual number of units allowed per lot?
Other people with this issue, are you using the cheat or no?
The truth is that this bug is going to end up driving my wife, my daughter and I crazy, especially my daughter who wants to play and I won't let her because I'm constantly testing her game.
The worst thing is that it is not something new, but rather it is something that has been going on for years, only that the release of the new expansion has further unpreserved this error along with others, and it is happening to many players, including youtubers in the middle of streaming.
@mightyspritesimsWithout the cheat, the error still happens, this happened to James Turner in a game on twitch and I have seen other cases of other youtubers who were not using cheats, one of them was even starting a game from scratch for a challenge and just downloading from the gallery 4 rental lots and locating them when leaving the map manager, several lots in Willow Creek and Magnolia had been broken. The curious thing about the case is that it does not happen to all players, sometimes it is random or not. I could not tell.
Yes using the bb.increaserentalunitcap on cheat :-)
Another thing that I noticed last night is that the broken lots when you go to the map manager, which you select to see the details of the lot, it loses the category where it says (type of lot), that the unaffected lots do not have this problem, it is Like the bug disappears the lot completely from the game, even when you access it (if it lets you do so) the type of lot is still empty in the description in the map view.

Interesting, i never noticed that before but can confirm it happens in my game aswell. Hope the EA team are looking at resolving this...
I give up, the new expansion, apart from being super broken in all aspects, has brought to light multiple bugs throughout the game, luckily I made a backup copy of my daughter's game, and mine and my wife's, because I see that the new expansion has only broken the game in a giant way.
I wish this doesn't happen to anyone else or they at least have a backup copy of their games, because it is already a risk to play with all those bugs hoping to corrupt the game even more.
