For the past few months I have been running in to a lot of lot corruption. Specifically with rental lots and the Stonestreet Apartments in Evergreen Harbor. It seems as if I have "too many" gallery lots or one too many sims in my world that's when the lots will become corrupted. It doesn't even seem like I have that many builds or families in game. I have never had this problem until a few months ago. Is anyone else experiencing this? And is this something that I can fix?
abrokencamera Mods/CC generally don't cause lot corruption, but please do test if renaming the Mods folder and deleting localthumbcache lets you load them again. The main causes I know for lot corruption are too many rental units in your save and specific lots in the Gallery.

this is an ongoing issue that they're not fixing. i don't know if its an impossible fix or what, but it is extremely annoying and disappointing. its been going on for months.
Hello, I constantly met such glitches after certain patch in March or April this year. As an experienced Simmer for over 10 years, I have all packs, good PC and have tested removing Mods, turning off Neighborhood Stories, NAP and many methods but couldn't solve this issue. I know For Rent pack are heavily bugged so I almost avoided using Rental lots in current save, only default one and one with 3 units in Komorebi.
It seems EA changed something related to Venue list, World layer, inventory or lot rendering in recent patches that likely caused such bugs. Changing or traveling to certain lots affect apartment and mess up whole save data in very strange way.
It usually starts with symptoms like some San Myshuno apartments turning into General lot type with white blocks, and Evergreen Harbour Stonestreet apartment got wrong thumbnails (red cross with grey background or messed thumbnail of the lot that I last visited or edited. So weired). So I frequently use phone to call fake travel and check the status of these apts to monitor if game goes normal or gets something wrong.
If I ignore such symptoms and keep playing, game will soon get worse and start the typical save corruption chain like neighboring lots turning into default or blank, endless loading, etc. Before such symptoms appear, the game seems to work normally and can last weeks without issues.
If I quit without saving, even though the game appears all okay when last saved, the lastest save still get polluted for unknown reasons and show such symptoms when loading. Usually I have to restore to the second or third latest to get back to normal. ( I always deleted cache and use Save as… to create backups）
Most possible triggers for such issues I can repeat are: -Editing/loading into multiple lots from Manage world, usually 2-3, no Live modes, especially in new Worlds in recent packs can most stably bring on this issue. Building on my own, changing lot types, downloading new lots from Gallery same as original types or even just changing bedroom number does not seem to make much difference. I always keep editing many lots at once in game before, never met such issues before April, 2026. ( No Rental lots or those apts affected involved in all such attempts) -Keep traveling to several public lots (5-6 or more), especially the new Market in Dambele or Magical Headquarter, game sometimes freeze for several seconds, not alwasy give LE reports. -Staying at home is safest as I notice. Traveling is not always risky but seemingly depends on which neighborhood or lots I go. -Keep using Copypasto on plants, potions or dragging stuff in inventory can sometimes cause LE and then bring on this issue but not always.
