Re: [ARCHIVED] Houses/Lots disappear/Error 800 or 801

I found that you need the save scratch files as it holds recent modifications and coordinates of objects in the world, your same file has a copy of it, but not the most recent changes this is incase you decide not to save the game.  Anyways when I was transferring my files from my home computer to the labtop I needed the scratch files, because without them you just get the default world map with the original thumbnails and any modified buildings that have been modified since your save file is gone.  Some times the world save files get corrupt and when that happens the buildings show, the scratch files mark the cordiance to certain lots and objects that have changed, but the world files are damaged and the only way to fix them is to take the whole save folder out and delete the ea games directory and have the game load fresh ones, than restart the game, start a save and exit your game than copy your saves and scratch files to the save game folder and the lots and building should be back.

You also want to save tray as that is your library in the game for cas households and sims, saving the onlinethumbnailcache  folder is the lots you created or modified that are uploaded to the gallery without them you won't get the connected lot link.
