Windenburg World Not Fully Loading/Loading Incorrectly

Okay, this may also be happening due to your save file being fairly old. I'd recommend uploading this family into your library in The Gallery, starting a brand new save file, and placing this family from the library into a new save. 

Let's see if this clears the crashing up for you.

Alright, so, I haven't tried placing the family in a new world yet, but I have created a new world. I've created a new world, moved into the same lot as the old Household, and had no issues. Loading time was faster, even. 

However, I was like << I really don't want to create a new world every time it gets old.. >> so I started thinking. I remembered that the issue only took place in that specific neighborhood. I had no issues with crashing or worlds with broken textures anywhere else.

So, I was pondering other reasons why this particular problem was taking place. Random thought, << What if I bulldozed my house? Maybe it's the house. >> And so I saved, because my house is filled with generations of precious items that I don't want to lose, and I bulldozed the house. Mind you, this house has grown a lot over the generations. It had a, maybe, 7×7 tiled garden, a basement, a second floor, a lot of outdoor decoration, and oh so many pillars on it. Like, a lot (because the regular Windenburg walls weren't good for the environment, so I made my own).

Anyways, bulldozing the house fixed the crashing problem (and maybe the texture problem, I have to keep experimenting), but now I'm not sure what to do, or what specific part of my house was causing the problem.

I don't think it's the size, because it wasn't that big. The household inventory was now cleared, except for like 4 crop plants and some old "vintage" StrangerVille items from their little adventure a few generations ago. It might've been the amount of crop plants, but that's silly. How am I supposed to be a farmer if my game can't handle some darn plants 🥺. It might've been the amount if pillars, but it wasn't THAT much. Just more than someone would usually place, maybe. We also had a chest filled with a lot of stuff, so it could've been that. Or the abundance of pictures they have. All I know is I gotta build them a new house now..

I'm planning on placing their house from the Library into the new world to see if it's actually my house entirely or if my world is just on it's deathbed and needs to be laid to rest 💔.

I built a new house, and after putting everything that we owned, specifically (like family photos, Collectables, chests, paintings, etc), I went to go Manage Worlds again to play. It crashes. 

At this time, I'm thinking it must be the pillars. However, other Lots with similar amounts of pillars didn't have the problem as frequent as this specific Lot. So now I'm looking around the house to see what else could be causing the problem. Maybe the photos? There's actually a lot of framed photos (framed by the photo frame with 3 spaces that comes with Moschino Stuff). There's also 3 digital photo frames (from Moschino as well) with around <100 photos in it. I decide to place those in the Household Inventory, because I don't want to delete them, of course. I go to Manage Worlds. Viola, no crash. I try again. No crash.

Now I'm like << This makes sense, but it's also ridiculous, because now I can't put all those pictures on the walls. And it doesn't make sense, because the other lots in those neighborhoods were experiencing crashes, recently as well, and they aren't anymore. >> And there's still like 6 photos on the wall, without frames, in the teenage son's room. I'm thinking it was the digital frame.

I'm also thinking that there's probably more factors to said problems, and all of the factors working together were making it worse, so getting rid of those factors are increasing game quality. But in doing so, it's decreasing gameplay quality. So, what I'm going to do is test to see if it is my save, as you said, specifically, or if it's the game itself (or my XBOX). So I'm going to add the old house in all it's glory, and the Household, into a New World. I'm going to test it out the same way I did with the Lot in this save to see if I experience any crashes. If I don't, I'm going to be real sad, let me tell you. Because that means I'm going to have to start an entirely new world, and I'm not going to like it 🙍.

I'm so glad we're starting to see some improvement with your game, thanks so much for keeping me updated! 

Would you be able to attach a screenshot to your post of the black pixilation and missing texture you're seeing for me please? Could you also tell me which pillar you're using, and how many you've got on your lot?

Get Together : "Fingerling Pillar"'- 15 Outside (Black), 5 Inside (Redish-Brown)

All not glitched or broken, texture(s) entirely there.

Get Together : "Experienced Pillar" - 75 Outside (Black), 2 Inside (Black)

All glitched or broken, texture(s) not there, pitch black.

Discover University : "Sleek n' Steel Mini Fridge" was invisible last time this happened, after testing this time, it's not.

Possible Fruit Bowl on coffee table - missing textures, shadows visible. Looks like Base Game "Fine Bowl of Fruit", so it could possibly be that, but it doesn't look like it when compared side to side.

Get Together : "Windwoahh" (😂) - partially disappears if I zoom out too far, as seen in one attached image, along with background rocks with missing textures, and floors outdoors with missing textures as well. No missing textures inside, besides the following (all appear a very dark black) : 

Get Together "Experienced Pillar" (Black)

Base Game "Campanulate Ceiling Lamp" (2nd Swatch (possibly))

StrangerVille "Unorganized Documents"

Cats & Dogs "The Woven Wonder" (All Swatches except the first one, which makes it disappear entirely)

Laundry Day Stuff "LaundryMaid Galvanized Bucket" (1st Swatch)

One attached image shows a close-up side by side comparison of the two pillars.

One attached image shows close-up side by side comparison of mysterious table object and Base Game fruit bowl.

I hope this is useful 😅
