The crashing wasn't happening when putting down the community board; it was happening when switching between the different states of the lot. I can build the generic community space with no problem, but as soon as I try to switch to the "community garden" and build that version, the game crashes.
So when you click on the Community Garden tile and it brings up the Building Lot screen for a couple of seconds that's when it crashes?
Can you move your Mods folder to the desktop, trash the localthumbcache.package file then load your game and try again?
Yes, that's the problem exactly. Removing the mods folder and trashing the cache file did not help.
So, I did a bit more experimenting with this and i have some new developments.
First, this issue is actually exclusive to Newcrest. I hopped over to Willow Creek today and I was able to switch both a Generic and an empty Residential lot to a Community Space and switch between the tabs.
Additionally, whatever is going on with Newcrest is not actually limited to the community space lots. At first, I thought the problem might have been switching from residential to Community Space (hence why I tried this in Willow Creek later), so I tried switching the lot that's been crashing to Generic first. The game crashed when I tried to go back to Manage Worlds after making the change. I then tried a different lot in Newcrest-same thing. So, even if I wanted to turn those lots into parks or restaurants right now, I couldn't. They're stuck being residential.
Later on, I want to try placing a community space lot from the gallery directly from manage worlds and switching the lot type from there. It's worth a shot.
