Sudden "Reset" Occurring on Public Lots

@siirysiir No, I am never sure of anything, and I try my best to take care not to give that impression - so sorry that I did!

I have noticed the 'reset' in several places, but mostly in the lot assignment: Bars, and both in testing saves in new folders; and in my own 'playsave', with a long-term rotational play. I see the sims reset when they order drinks, but that does not mean it is the reason; or that it would be the only reason. I have not really tested it further than for a thread surfaced in this section, where the OP never came back and so I just laid the testing on ice.

There are a couple of bug reports made for sims resetting, but it all seems a bit vague; perhaps, and I'm guessing here, because it is hard to test, replicate, and find the origin of the issue; both for players that freely engage in this forum, and, assumedly, for the developers of the game.

I don't mind testing this though, it's entertainment for me, but I'm unsure of how to preceed, and where to post, and in way, what to do. The bug reports are rarely detailed, and I do think that such an issue would benefit from the ones experiencing it, and creating threads about it, to add as much detail they can, to make it easier for anyone  wanting to replicate. I am unsure of how the EA hired personell handles the bug forum here, but they do seem to rely on an issue being replicated, in gameplay, and narrowed down; before they start investigating on their own, including 'looking at the code'. It would be good to have any information or confirmation on how their system works, to make it easier to understand how in some small ways we players can help, so that it doesn't feel completely redundant posting in the bug threads.
