    Lots in Evergreen Harbor should now have some proper ground beneath them when accessed through build mode and the world should not look like it's underwater any longer.

    Fixed in Patch 1.84.171/1.52

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

I also have this problem and the solution suggested doesn’t work. Some more information: my save isn’t new and I had already played in this neighborhood and indeed I haven’t encountered this bug before. This is a several years-old save. What happened was that I was playing with a doctor in oasis springs and he had a house call in the docks neighborhood of evergreen harbor. That’s when it happened. At the time I thought it was just a glitch but when later I visited the neighborhood, it seemed to have reset to industrial from green/neutral and whether in live or build mode the grounds fails to appear. I’ve tried this over and over again, repaired the game to no avail. 

The save ave before I was playing with the doctor still has a functional evergreen harbor but that was around two weeks ago and I don’t wish to lose all progress and the new houses I made.

@Tiara_1310 I just wanted to add that before the doctor’s home visit when port promenade loaded without the ground, I had visited a restaurant in the same neighborhood. But all was fine during that visit. Just thought I mention it because I recall there was a bug with restaurants. In any case, I decided to roll back to a previous save. I have all expansion packs, but I’m currently avoiding visiting Henford and now Evergreen due to bugs. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

    I have had this problem since I opened a retail store in Grims Quarry and the suggested solution doesn't work for me. I've been in live mode with two sims who live in the neighbourhood, one who owns the store and one who doesn't. I've tried visiting the store, and visiting other lots with each of them. I've had another sim who lives in another neighbourhood in Evergreen Harbour visit GQ in live mode too. And I've repealed modern development in GQ.

    Would selling the store, saving it to the library and deleting it from GQ help - has that worked for anyone? I want to keep it if I can so thought I'd ask here first. My sim owner bought the land then I built the store - it wasn't downloaded. The problem started when he opened the store for the first time.

    I have a Mac. No mods.

      I sold the store and bulldozed the lot, switched it from retail to residential and it's now empty. It hasn't fixed the neighbourhood. I'm now considering moving my two resident sims out of GQ and avoiding the neighbourhood unless this is fixed, at least in this save.

      From what people say above, this problem is triggered by opening a business in EH or visiting an EH neighbourhood while on business, as a dr for eg, and it is perhaps causing issues in HoB too. Are there any other triggers people know of as I don't want to corrupt any other saves.

      As mentioned above, the workaround didn't make any difference for me.

        @KLoxxon you might have a different issue then. is your game updated ? The business lot issue was fixed.
