Hi! I apologize for the late response but the lot is 40x30 and it's called Optimist's Outlook in Newcrest. The problem happens when I place any home on the lot whether from my library or the gallery. It does not happen on any other lot. I copied my game folder and moved it to the my desktop and removed all cache files including the localthumbcache then created a new game folder. I also thought the problem was my save file so I literally deleted the save file through the game and repopulated all my worlds again with my saved sims and homes in a new clean vanilla no mods save. The moment I got to that specific lot the constant loading began. I had to force close the game not to mention the game continues to crash everyday now.
@pr3ttylady82 Did you put the same house on that lot as in your other save game or does it happen with any lot you put down there even in a new save ?
Did you use any residetial rentals ?

I answered these questions in my previous posts but no, I did not use the same house and I ran into the same problem in my clean save which is why I reached out for support. I do not have any residential rentals because I do not have the For Rent expansion pack. I also experienced something new when I tried to put down a different house on a different lot from my library it said "corrupted file" and gave me the option to delete that house yet it's still there. All I know is lately it's been frustrating to play this game.
- @pr3ttylady82 Sorry, totally missed your residential rental
You wrote that you repopulated with your saved Sims and homes so I wanted to double check you tried different lots and also different Sims. Sometimes There's so many different lot issues going on that the differences can be vital.
For example that thread that Sheri linked is always a very specific lot that's causing issues and it's easy to duplicate with that lot so I needed to be sure that's not your issue.
Could you describe the steps you are taking to place in detail ? Are you placing from the map or from build mode ? With Sims without them ? Do they not load from start or does it randomly stop working.
I've tried one of the houses from your gallery on that lot (enter build mode from map, place lot, exit to manage world) and that worked fine for me so it doesn't seem to be a lot problem as such.When I noticed the constant loading I went to my other saves and tried random homes on that same lot and again ran into the same problem. That's when I decided to remove my game folder to my desktop, repaired my game and recreate a new game folder. Slowly I put the saves back in along with events files and tray folder, tray deleted items and left the rest as is removing cache etc. Then I created a new game with a new sim and began repopulating that save with my saved sims and a few homes I saved in my library along with other builds from the gallery. Everything was going fine until I got to that lot in Newcrest. First I placed a house down from build mode and as I tried to go back to mange worlds it began to constantly load. So I forced exited the game and tried to place a home down from map view and it continued to load again and I had to shut the game down once more. Each time I would try different lot types as well as different residential homes on that specific lot and still had the same problem. Also when I repopulated my new save I did use the same sims from the previous save but I didn't have an issues placing any home from any other lots until the Newcrest one. I think another issue could be some builds from the gallery are faulty and that may also have added to it but I'm not sure.
