@crinrict Hi,
Not sure if you'll still read this but as I see this bug is still an open issue on your website it might be interesting for you as well.
I figured out a solution that worked for me! I figured out which save was the issue as other saves did not have any problems. Unfortenately this save was exactly the one I was playing with and I didn't want to lose it so I started messing around with it. I had about 5 backups at different points in my game but all backups ran into the same problem. I could enter the save in manage worlds when I would click load game in the main menu instead of resume game. In that save I could enter enter other household and lots without issue. So the problem was either the specific lot I played on, or the specific family or sim I played with. When moving the family to another lot and entering live mode again I didn't have any issues loading the lot anymore, so the problem was the specific lot I played on.
What I did to fix the problem:
1. Move your family to another lot and check if live mode loads again. Proceed if no problems.
2. Save the build you made on that intial lot that wouldn't load to the gallery / your library so you won't lose your precious build.
3. Demolish the lot that wouldn't load.
4. Move your family back to the now empty lot. Check if live mode works again. Proceed if no problems.
5. get to build mode from live mode (at least that's how I did it, not sure if it works the same when doing it from manage worlds), go to the gallery and place your build on the lot again.
I checked multiple times and the lot loads again without issues other than maybe being a little slow. However, I managed to keep my save, keep my build and keep all in-game progress 🙂
Not sure if it's a fail-proof solution and if it'll work for everyone running into this problem but it's pretty easy to do and worth the try!
