    i found out i had overwritten the Slot_00000002.save file somehow and that itself was corrupted so even if i tried using an old save  it did not work but luckily i found the original Slot_00000002.save that i had overwritten in my deleted icloud files and just put it back 🥳

@HannahTownsend Okay, so just to clarify:

A new save does *not* have the lots disappear, so there's NOT an issue with the game itself. BUT an old save *does* have the lots disappear, and it does that before you add mods back. This suggests to me that one way or another, that old save became corrupted.

Now that you've put the old saves back in, if you load an earlier version of the save (see the instructions here), do the lots appear? This test is to see if you have a recoverable version of your regular game. We'll look at how to put mods back after.
