Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Dine Out
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure if this is happening to other people & only occurs after saves and when I come back on the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? I either build or create a household and then, after either one or a few plays, I save it (and I have made sure that all of these are saved and have seen them pop up once or twice afterwards) and when I get back on the lot or household, they have completely disappeared from maps and in the load game section. I have lost several builds and a household so far. This has happened mostly in Newcrest and once in San Myshuno.
What do you expect to see? I expect my saved games to 1. save and 2. load (consistently).
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I do not have additional information because my saved things do not appear.
It isn't always that I'm clicking on a save and then things don't load, it's that the saves just stop appearing as an option. This has happened a few times with households, but my biggest issue is that I build houses (not attached to any sims, just in newcrest), and after two or three saves it disappears from the game altogether. I am now attaching these homes to sims and hope that gives them a better chance of not disappearing, but I've still lost several larger builds and don't know why or how to get them back.
@acnewizard42 Moving this to the mac forum for assistance for assistance with the saves not appearing.
For the lots disappearing in existing saves, please use this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Houses-Lots-disappear/td-p/4620279/
whenever I open the game, there is no option to resume playing my household. the only options I see are the scenarios and to start a new game. I can insert a picture. I saved over my household 3 times before exiting and it never saved my progress. I tried this a few times by starting a new household, saving and then exiting and it still would not save. the weird part is that my family is in my gallery, I just can't play as them. I have tried troubleshooting, repairing, updating, etc. please help!!
