Hi everyone. Ive commented in this before and I know it's a bug but the incomplete lot bug that throws you back out into the map screen and wont let you do anything else until you exit the game and/or repair it, is driving me beyond mad. I feel like I'm constantly exiting or repairing my game. Does anyone know if there is a certain object, series of objects or action triggering it? It often seems to be parks or pools but thats by no means exclusive.I appreciate we need to wait for a bug fix etc, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do in the meantime as Im so frustrated not being able to visit places for fear they will 'crash' my game. In previous post, I mentioned how that, with the go to school bug is bringing the game to an unplayable and aggrevating standstill.

It is 2020 and I am experiencing this problem, it started in January. And it's happening on different lots; lots I create, download from the gallery and even maxis lots. AND it also is causing my active sims' inventory items to be lost...like forever. Not household inventory, their personal inventory. And the thing is the lots arent incomplete. I've been saving before travelling so i dont lose my inventory items. It is annoying me now as well

In world view you should see the lot flashing a yield sign warning you not to enter that lot with a Sim.

HelloTry going into build mode on the lot from Map/world screen view, and see if you need to add any missing items. If all the required items are there and you still have the issue, save a copy of the lot to your library. Bulldoze the lot, then place the saved copy from your library back onto the lot. Then see if that helps the issue.

I really miss the bulldoze button in the menu from world view. We need it back just for these very reasons.

@Koteyka Omggg I'm not the only one ? I do use Mods. I only took out my mods to test whether the items would return and they didnt. Havent tried playing without the mods. Sometimes the game would run smoothly, I travel without incident. I may have to try playing minus mods. I hope it's a mod and not cc, I have too much cc to have to work through to find the one causing the error. Honestly, I think the issue started when I updated WW. ??♀️

i've had this happen before
if i remember correctly i fix it by deleting the problem lot and replacing it.
it's only happened to me twice though so i wouldn't know why it happens to you so often :x

As soon as you open your save before you select a playable Sim, check the lot by clicking on it and check Build, then check the lot requirements. If they're all checked off, you might need to bulldoze that lot and replace it with a different one, or maybe just try saving that lot to your Library and replacing it after you bulldoze the old one. You could also try saving the venue to your library, putting it in a new save and see if you still have issues.

@tv-ton I have the same exact problem, up to items from personal inventory disappearing... Can't figure out what's causing it though.
Do you play with mods? Because I do and I suspect one of them might be causing it.

same thing is happening to me :(( did you ever figure out the cause? i can't tell whether it's a problem with a mod or a bug in the game but it's only happened travelling between these two lots in britechester :// mainly annoys me that i lose the sims inventories because of this
