Is this a new glitch?

Question

I've been building a home in Tomarang for the past day and a half. I saved my progress multiple times throughout the build since my game crashes occasionally. I exited the Sims last night, and when I logged in today, the home still appeared to be there in Manage Worlds. But when I click on the lot to edit it, the build disappears completely.

I’ve tried traveling there with my Sims and even creating a new household, but the home vanishes as soon as I click on the lot. It also shows a value of only 2,000 simoleons, which doesn’t make sense — and even my older saves with the home have the same issue.

I have fewer than 30 mods, so I don’t think that’s the problem. Is there any way I can salvage this? Or is this just a new glitch going around that I’ll have to deal with?

Ode725​&nbsp; You could try recovering a backup save:

If your work isn't intact in any backup, it's gone, unfortunately.&nbsp; But if you want to recover use of the lot, try bulldozing it, or placing another lot directly on top of it.&nbsp; Use "save as" rather than "save" when testing to see whether this works so you don't overwrite your current save.

Yes, I had tried opening older saved files with the same home, but the issue was still ongoing. I just decided to build the home all over again and saved it to my gallery just in case. I think the issue was that the game was confusing my residential lot as a residential rental.

I noticed this when I clicked on rooms on the new home I built, and it gave me the pop-up to designate the room to a specific household (even though it was just a residential lot??).

My first save with the second home disappeared again, but luckily, I had it in my gallery, and I just switched the type of lot to a coffee shop and brought it back to a residential lot. The pop-up never showed up again, and my home was finally showing up after saving it.
