Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
I make it a habit to save my lots and sims to gallery everytime i work on them before I do a save as just in case the save is corrupt before I notice
I mean, if I have to keep on stressing about saving everything separately, and then also spend who knows how much time putting things into a new save, cheating relationships back to normal etc, then well… I prefer not to play ☺️ which is how’s it been since my save got corrupted after buying for rent. There are lots of much better games out there, I’m not gonna spend any more money on something that broken lol
As I mentioned before, a bigger problem we have is that we can know if our saved game was corrupted by the error or not when we see an exclamation mark on any lot that is in plain sight, but as I already said, hidden lots like the police , hospital, the laboratory, Sixam, the forgotten grotto and others can also be damaged, and many of these lots cannot be traveled freely unless you use a mod or have a sim that is a police officer or a doctor or a scientist.
In short, this error is really annoying and dangerous.
I am very frustrated, tired, upset and stubborn about this damn bug, I really don't intend to spend any more money buying anything from the game until they fix this bug.
I have been testing and always checking every time I do something during the game, both mine and my wife and daughter's, in case any plot gets corrupted, and at the moment I did not have any broken where they normally get corrupted first, which is Magnolia Promenade, Oasis Springs and Willow Creek, (I was already happy) well "surprise" I dedicated myself to continuing my game and when I traveled to Mt. Komorebi to climb the mountain, it turns out that the lot at the top was corrupted, I I said "Ok, it's not a lot that interests me very much" I continued playing and moved the sim to Selvadorada and it turns out that the bar was also corrupted, I closed the game because I was so upset and frustrated.
Everyone be very careful with this problem, and the advice I give you is to have a copy of the saved files, because once a lot is corrupted it is like a virus that multiplies in the rest of the game.

I think everyone on here shares your frustration mate and most people have stopped playing the game. There is no known fix and only EA can resolve it however they choose to ignore the issue and keep fleecing customers for new packs/expansions. I havent played the game in nearly 2months due to the issue and i only check back in to see if EA have responded on this thread or to see if they are actually doing something about it. The main issue is that EA have sidelined their longstanding customer base as a result of this. The majority of people who have this issue have invested alot of money into every pack/expansion that EA has released for Sims over the years (including previous Sims games).
Customers don't forget when a company doesn't fix their broken products and EA has lost a lot of loyal customers over this.
