Yes, sadly you are right. And one of the reasons for save corruption is definitely related to the residential rental lot type. Clearly there is still something very wrong with it and it needs to be investigated and fixed. Better late then never.
I am not willing to accept the current gallery situation and will post here from time to time as a reminder - also for people who are not aware of this, so they can maybe avoid save corruption.
@alenarost Thank you very much for your kind words. 🙂 They felt like a comforting hug.
I mean, I try to be positive and make the best out of this sad situation by building my own lots or remodeling older builds from the gallery to fit something I need for the newer worlds Tomarang and the Lovestruck world. But it's not the same, often it feels like work instead of fun - but browsing the gallery for cool builds was so much fun!! And it always gave me new ideas for playing - the game never got boring because I filled the worlds with amazingly creative community lots from the gallery and after I played with one I often switched it up for a new one.
Although I would say that I'm a decent builder I often like to get suprised by the gallery. There are so many fantastic builds out there that are just out of my league - I could never recreate them even if I would try.
I have every pack (except paranormal Stuff) yet I cannot use many builds from the gallery because of the possibility of corruption. It just feels so limiting.
Nowadays I avoid watching speedbuilds (which used to be a big hobby of mine) because what's the point? I'll just get sad, because I know I will not be able to use the build.
Sigh...
@olga_k2 So sad that you lost your save to corruption even though you were cautious. ☹️ I hope that it never happens to you again. If my 7 year old save file would break I would be devastated. I do weekly backups so I could hopefully go back if something happens.
Did you have any backups?
Noooo stupid me accidently pressed the solved button!!! ☹️ Please @crinrict or someone else, could you undo it?
This is NOT SOLVED!
Thank you so much, I learned something new today! 🙂
Oh and sorry that I tagged you instead of someone from the Sims Team. I will do that in the future.
Just adding to this to say that it is not just residential rentals that are doing this. For me, it's any lot type. Also it is unbelievable to me that it has now been over a YEAR and this issue making the game unplayable is still not fixed.
