Neighborhoods back to default - Apartments dissapear!

Since last update (feb 2026), all my neighborhoods went back to default when loading the map. Once I open a lot (any lot), it's completely empty! I can try to rebuild or download them again, but that takes centuries!

Same in San Myshuno; the map itself looks fine, but when trying to load an apartment, same thing happens. The lot is just grass and downloading or rebuilding an apartment is impossible. The world is unplayable!

My sims families are fine and are still where I left them, they just don't have their home anymore.

Please help

    illuhD​  Could you post screenshots of the empty lots in San Myshuno?

    Since I'm curious, please also post screenshots of the contents of the scratch folder with this save loaded.  For some players, it's still in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves; for others, it's here:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Electronic arts\The Sims 4\Scratch

    What I'm curious about is whether you have a few (or a large number of) very small files, as opposed to the larger files you'd normally have on lots where you've built or decorated.
