    Hi!

    I tried repairing the game, and haven't been able to recreate the bug after that. Let's hope it was this easy of a fix!😊

    @Bnibuilds Going to mark this as fixed for now and move to tech but do tag me if the issue comes back.

    @crinrict The problem is back! This time I used the "Save and exit" function and the build I had done was gone.

    I don't think it's related, because the lot I built didn't completely disappear, it just reverted back to the original Vlad's mansion in the game as if I had never bulldozed it and built anything new. Same thing now when the issue came back, the build was still there but it is as if it didnt save the build, but it did save the gameplay. Any new relationships and so on are there and are saved, but the lot next to the one I was playing had turned into an older version of it, so it was a half-built version Ibhad saved previously but not the finished build.

    @Bnibuilds Some people in that thread are reporting for them it just reverts to original though. I'm not sure if it's a different issue or same root cause.

    Do you have the same issue on an new save too ?

    I'll do some testing on a new save as well as more on the current one and get back to you if the problem occurs again!😊
