[ARCHIVED] Orange/Green Exclamation signs over lots / Houses disappear

Clearly all saves always keep the copy or original lots. That makes me think that, for each lot, the game is only storing a reference to the new lot. Perhaps, when the new lots are downloaded from the gallery, it stores them differently somehow, and eventually loses the reference.

It would be quite common to do a check/condition like this in the code: if reference is not null then grab the referenced object. Else, grab the default. That would explain why it reverts to the default.

I haven’t played this game for ages, so honestly can’t even remember if any of non-gallery-downloaded lots was ever corrupted (most of my lots were from the gallery)
