unable to bulldoze lot. after downloading

I downloaded a retail lot from the gallery. a sim went their and i could never use that sim after he went there. I tried to bulldoze the lot, tried using the sledge hammer. I built this save myself so I don't want to use a different save. I know the problem is with this building. because I can play other sims with no problem. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    @el1090 There's usually a way to solve it but the link you sent me was private. If you make it public (only folks with the link will see it = me), I can take a look if I can find a way :D

    Sorry about my ignorance. I sent another where anybody can read. I hope it's ok.

    @el1090 No need to be sorry :D

    I just like to troubleshoot issues like this.

    EDIT: Which lot did you put it on ?

    NVM. Found it

    What I'm seeing is that I can bulldoze the lot but then when trying to get out, I get endless loading. Is that what you are seeing too ?


    If so, could you try the following

    1. Load into the lot in build mode from the map
    2. Bulldoze the lot
    3. Save the game under a new name (in build mode)
    4. Force-Close the game through the task manager
    5. Reload the game and load the new save game
    6. Go back to the lot. It will still say the price of the faulty lot
    7. Load the lot again in build mode. This time you should be able to get out.

    I haven't tried placing a new lot from the library but I didn't get any more endless loading.

    Let me know if it works for you. If not, I'll try some other things tomorrow.

    @el1090 Happy to hear.

    I would recommend trying out new lots from the gallery in a new save before putting them in your legacy one.

    There are quite a few that are broken.
