Please use this thread going forward: Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801) | EA Forums - 5037272
@LauratkoKLol! At least you've tried it and confirmed that the issue still happens. Not sure if its RAM related? I have 32GB ram and only hit 75% memory usuage when running Sims 4. My game is pretty smooth so if there is a cutoff i would hope it would be higher! We really need EA to get their finger out and start resolving this.
The lack of communication/response from EA on their own hosted forum about this issue says it all really...the silence is deafening...
I've been testing so many different scenarios using clean saves prior to the expansion pack and always end up running into the same issue at some stage. I think the For Rent pack has too many bugs that is hitting all types of gamers. I came across this thread https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-FR-Stuck-on-Residential-Rental-Lot-type/td-p/13291850/page/8 where lots get stuck on residential rental and you can't change them to a different lot type once you've registered it as residential rental. I've also noticed this bug in my game aswell which might be related or could be unrelated who knows!
EA really needs to fix these issues because it looks like this pack is corrupting a significant number of saves across the board. For now my only hope is that they release a fix in the next patch.
@nathaneous1 I also have this bug that you just linked. Not even once I managed to change residential rental back to any other type. I wonder if these two bugs come together…
Regarding the RAM, I didn’t mean that we have too little. Most of people in this thread have computers above the minimum requirements, as far as I’ve seen. But I wonder why everyone has a different number of units after which it consistently breaks?
But then again, if you all never reach any significant RAM usage than it cannot be it. I’m almost sure it depends on amount of lots in general (not just units) so maybe the number of units after which it breaks depends on how many lots we have in our games?
but then again, if you go to the beginning of this thread, it also happened to people with just a few expansion packs, and no mods. However, obviously there might be many different roots of this bug, and perhaps what they experienced was caused by something else entirely?
I wonder if we will ever know haha
