So...from what I understand, corruption is much more likely if a player uses mods, depending on what kinds of mods they are, what they effect, and how updated they are kept. Of course, it's happened to console and non-mod users too, but the risk is much higher with mod use. I think that the age of the save file and how bogged down it is can be a factor as well.
I've seen discussions particularly about lots and if the lot type matches the build you put on it, or what it's labeled as in the gallery when downloading it into a differently labeled lot in the game. There was something about switching apartments around without moving Sims out first, or making certain settings beforehand, something like that, could cause corruption of a lot.
I don't have either of those packs because I'm too scared For Rent will lay waste to my game, and I was side-eyeing Businesses and Hobbies since it also has new multi-function lot types. I also haven't gotten Adventure Awaits. Seeing everyone else's bug reports for the last year and a half put the fear in me, lol. It's a wonder I got the Royalty pack. But I'm starting to get over it.
I don't think I'll ever get For Rent, that seemed to cause the most problems, so much so that they altered one of the cheats that increases the number of apartments you can have in the game. It's a lot less now, so I've heard. But I think I might get Adventure Awaits down the line, I don't think that one has too many issues, and I do really want the tattooing and CAS in Businesses, but I'll wait until maybe it's half off since I'll only really be using about half the pack. I'm not entirely sure yet, because I like not having all the packs and giving my game some breathing room.
I'd be really interested to see what anyone else has to say about it all.
