Game progress not saving; exiting to manage worlds resetting progress made

Question

EDIT:&nbsp;After playing a bit more I've zeroed in on the actual issue here: going to manage worlds, exiting to main menu, closing the game, etc. resets ALL progress made in that sitting. I attempted building from live mode by moving in a sim on the apartment I wanted to build. Then I spammed the motherlode cheat a few times to have enough money to actually by the decor. When I went to manage worlds after building, not only did all of my progress on the build reset but my sim's funds reset to before I used the motherlode cheats. Basically, nothing in my game is being saved.Build mode is presenting a unique issue with not saving progress and causing game crashes. Whenever I enter free build mode on a lot from the map, in this case I'm attempting it on a San Myshuno apartment, any progress I make is not saved. However, when I enter build mode from live mode and build there using the owner sim's funds, then the progress is saved. After that point, if I enter free build mode and make progress, then it's preserved.I tested this on an earlier save file where I went to the same plot I was attempting to build and I tried just deleting some items, including one of the windows, in free build mode, exiting, and then trying to reenter free build mode. Before entering build mode I saw that the window deletion was undone on the map preview, but the other items I deleted remained deleted. Then when I tried to reenter free build mode on that same lot, the game crashed. This was after I had deleted the localthumbcache, removed the mods folder entirely, and repaired the game ergo playing on a fully vanilla game. I play with a lot of cc so I was wondering if it was cc causing the issue, but seeing as this issue persists on a fully vanilla game, I believe this may be a bug with the new feature allowing us to remove and replace apartment windows.&nbsp;I don't want to have to use this multi-step workaround that involves moving a new household into a lot before I can build on it. I want to be able to just build on a plot freely. If anyone knows a solution to this, please help. If this is a bug, I hope it's fixed soon.

@minioriteart Are you getting an error code or any lastExceptions ?

Best is to delete the ones you have, then trigger the error and check if new ones are created.

If that is the case, please upload

No error message, no. It's either an instantaneous reset or an instant crash.

Basically, nothing in my game is being saved. I'll edit the OP with this corrected info.

edit: Ok this is embarrassing I totally misread what you were saying... I'll try to get the lastcleanexception lol

@minioriteart  Does this happen on a specific save only or also if you test a new one ?
