I read your instructions for sending a save, but I apologize because I do not think I can find the correct one. My saves folder contains literally hundreds of saves, some of them years old, and the problem started happening last week. Since that time, I have created a number of saves testing various things and I don't know how to locate the original save where the problem first occurred. (Sorry, it didn't occur to me to keep it at the time); I also only back up my saves to another location about once a week and this happened the day after my last backup.
In answer to your question, I didn't have any custom traits or custom lot traits in my game originally, except for a mod which allowed the apartment traits from City Living to be used on regular lots. However, I removed this hack when I removed all of the mods in my game so it wasn't in my game the second time the problem occurred. I hope the save is not borked and in other respects it seems fine. Many other lots and neighborhoods loaded as normal, and as I described, various families could use the Sprucewood Square Maker Space with no difficulties. Maybe as you suggest this problem will disappear since I have no plans to put that Apartment Lot Trait mod back in my game.
In other news, I used another family to vote the Maker Space lot into a Community Garden and this lot, like the other Community Spaces lot is accessible to the Tinker family again. They were able to travel to it without any problems and use it as normal. Weirdly, this lot too, like the Maker Space, shows the Landfill trait from the neighborhood screen, even though I gave it 3 other traits (Reduce and Recycle, Great Soil and Eco Lot). Similarly, when the Tinker family was using the lot, broken appliances continued to show up as they do on a Landfill lot even though in Buy Mode only my 3 chosen traits showed up. So I think this might be another (possibly unrelated) bug.
If you have any further instructions about how to find and isolate a pertinent save, I would be happy to hear them; in the meantime, I will continue testing by trying to revert the lot back to a Maker Space lot in another week of game time, using another family, and then see if the Tinker family can travel there unimpeded.
