Re: [ARCHIVED] Can't make changes to build

- Platform: PC
- Game version: 1.108.349.1020 DX9
- No mods (but I've used them before).
- Issue has been present for a while now
- Happens almost 100% of the times when downloading AND placing multiple lots from the Gallery

What happens: 
I cannot use build mode correctly after downloading and placing multiple lots from the Gallery within a game session. Build mode totally breaks. Every time I want to use a tool, the second time I use the tool - the state won't get saved (e.g. I click on the bulldozer tool once and it works, the second time I click and nothing happens). I can reset this error by jumping to another tool (like the eyedropper), I still cannot use that tool tough(?), and then go back to bulldozer tool again. But then I need to go back and forth between tools (just as a resetter) for EVERY little change I want to make (e.g. build, bulldoze, eyedrop, undo and much more - everything gets broken). 

What should happen:
Build mode state changes should be saved correctly, after downloading AND placing multiple lots from the Gallery. Build mode shouldn't get broken.
 
Reproduce this error:
Download different lots from the gallery. When placing every lot, go into build mode on that lot and try to use one tool (like bulldozer) more than once in a row and see if this bug occurs. If it won't occur on the first lot (you should notice it directly), go forward and download and place another lot and try again until the bug occurs. The error most often occur after downloading 2-4 lots from the Gallery. Sometimes it won't happen on a house, and sometimes it happens on the same house, so it seems to depend on something else than the house itself...
 
+ I've also noticed that lot types (like vacation rental & wedding venue) seems to reset themselves to "residental lots" sometimes when downloading lots from the gallery (if that has something to do with it).

    Hi! Yes, it looks very similar!! For me this thing happens every time when I've downloaded and placed out different houses from the gallery. I even tried with my own Gallery uploaded houses (I wanted to test with houses without debug items), and it still happended. I hope EA look at this bug very soon! It's soo frustrating since it happens every time I want to play with Gallery lots, and make new worlds with a lot of Gallery lots etc...This bug make all of these fun stuff unplayable. 

    I also recorded a video of this bug, with a before "bug" and "after" when I've placed multiple lots and the issue starts.

    @simsefin Guess then sending saves wont' really help much.

    Hopefully EA can duplicate it with the steps you described.
