LE: Exception raised while processing zone spin up sequence

puzzlezaddict​ I’m having the exact same issue with a single lot - Avenida de la Eternidad in Cuidad Enamorada. I can enter build mode, demolish the lot, and set a new lot type but I cannot build or visit using another household. I’m also unable to enter the lot with the resident household. Another weird glitch is that visiting with another family or exiting the lot from build mode causes an endless load screen, which requires me to force close the game. I’ve tried moving the residents out and following the steps you laid out above and still no luck. Would be open to looking at my dxdiag if I shared it? Thanks!

  • So I checked your save and I believe you have this issue: Endless Loading/Crashing when trying to load a certain lot (broken object(s)) | EA Forums - 5037252 

    The LE is probably unrelated to the endless loading as I didn't get that one.

    Now, the problem with bulldozing the lot is, that you can't get out after bulldozing. For me it's keeps getting stuck on endless loading when trying to (a typical sign of the thread linked.).

    I was able to load the lot by doing these steps

    1. Enter load from map in build mode
    2. Bulldoze both terrain & house
    3. Save the game under a new name
    4. Shoot down the game
    5. Restart the game. 
    6. Load the save game (I would not use resume)
    7. Try to load the lot.
    8. For me that worked

    I think something is broken about the lot itself. Not sure how important the house is for you. If it's not, just place/build something else.

    If it's important, there are ways to troubleshoot as outlined in that other thread but it's very time consuming. I currently don't have time to look into it further but maybe you can do your own testing what is actually causing the issue.

    I did not do a lot of testing. Just tried loading into the empty lot. I didn't try to visit.

    Hi damong63​ 

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    crinrict​ I followed your instructions and had to force close the game because it froze when I attempted to shut down. I restarted and entered the lot from the map in live mode and it worked. At this point I’ll just build a new house, grateful that at I can at least play the lot now. Thanks!

    I spoke too soon. As I said I’m able to load the empty lot and play the family, but after further testing I discovered the lot remains unstable. Downloads from the gallery are incomplete with missing landscaping, furniture, windows, and doors, and after building a bit the game freezes. I also experienced one crash while interacting with the lot, the first since reinstalling the nvidia driver. To be sure it isn’t the house I downloaded in a different save from the map and visited in live mode and it seemed to work just fine.

    Hm. Maybe that lot has some bad data then.

    I can look into it again next week by checking it with Sims4Studio but I don't know if I find something.
