Placing stairs in Rattlesnake Juice Bar Lot crashes the game

I play on PC, through the EA App, I have no mods or CC and this has happened every time i try to place stairs in the Bar Lot of Oasis Springs, originally named "Rattlesnake Juice". The terrain on this lot has always been bugged (i found a post here from 6 years ago), so when i bulldozed the lot, I simply started building (no terrain editing), I managed to place 3 stairs, all outside, but now i cant place any more staircases. I have tried different staircases, from Base Game and packs, none of them work. I have also tried to have no cheats, like move objects, I tried turning the lot into Residential, since I had it set as Restaurant, but none of it has worked. 

Here's what happens: I place the stairs and it seems fine at first, then the PC gets louder and the game shuts down with no warning or error message. When I tried deleting one of the stairs, the game didn't crash, but it was straining the CPU non stop, as well as when I tried placing different stairs in a different spot, after this, when I tried to leave the lot by clicking "Go to Manage Worlds" I got stuck in an endless loading screen, unable to close the game. I didn't want to test more since I didn't want to ruin the PC, but it looks like you can't place any more than 3 stairs on that specific lot. 

Placing stairs on any other lot works fine, as well as placing the exact lot i was building and adding more stairs. It seems like an issue with only this lot and stairs.

    I tested your save game and can dupe the crashing. 

    I then bulldozed the lot and downloaded another building and that worked fine.

    I saw some other weird behavior when placing the building on another lot, where I couldn't place any stairs and got an OP failed message and then couldn't place anything anymore.

    On reloading the game, that didn't happen anymore. Funny thing was that after going to some other lots,  I couldn't dupe the crashing anymore either.

    I didn't test a new save but for me, building something somewhere else and then go back to the rattlesnake lot, fixed the crashing.

    So basically what I did was:

    1. Load a random lot in build mode (other than rattlesnake)
    2. Place something small
    3. Back to map
    4. Load Rattlesnake
    5. Place as many stairs as you like.

  • Did you test this in multiple saves and it was all the same ? Do you have the same issue if you just build stairs on an empty lot ?

    Do you have any LastCrash logs ?

    I just tried a new save file and it does not crash the game! It does not crash if its just empty, neither that specific lot or another lot. 

    I did just recently get For Rent and this is the first save file that i added Rentals, I am aware the pack has caused file corruption to others, I don't know if that could be the reason why this is happening? 

    I do have LastCrash logs, yes.

    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.
