The save game starts to disintegrate itself. Lots start to get deleted, causing endless loading, loading into empty lots.
This happens to save games that have lots of R-rental units in all world.
When posting here, please state if you used cheats or mods to up the max.

I had this happen to a save after For Rent came out. I could not enter many regular residential lots in Willow Creek, making that particular save unplayable and unfixable. The fact that this is still ongoing is unacceptable. This is a game corrupting bug and is barely talked about. The only solution I have seen anywhere is to not use rental lots in the game. This is not a solution given that people have paid for that gameplay. I have had to start a new save file and am not currently using rental lots. This needs to be fixed ASAP before EA sells more packs to unsuspecting people who just want to play a game.
I've had this issue in a save with many rentals, but not an extreme number (around 50 units I think). At a certain point, loading any lot, I had the wrong lots showing (the default ones instead of the ones I built).
I have a lot that I’ve been playing on that looks fine in manage worlds (in Henford), but when you load it up, it reverts back to an empty field.
I thought it was something I had done wrong, but I can see a few people are having the same issue. 😅
I have all expansions etc. except life and death.
No mention of that issue in the next Laundry List. I really hope they are working on it and I hope they would communicate on that issue.
I post this issue in a new thread and someone asked me to moved it here :
So basically with my curent savefile and family : when i make them travel too any lot (except appartment), cafe, gym, museum, residential own by someone or not, the lot is normal on the map and then when i'm entering the lot with my sim, the lot is now empty with nothing and turn to residential. The world map now is showing the lot empty, so it's not visual.
when i'm coming back to my own home it does nothing. if i select randomly any new sim household : the house is getting delete in the same way than any lot.
the weirdest thing : if i select an appartment in a building DIFFERENT than my current sim houselhold (that lived in an appartment but different building) the ENTIRE LOT get dissapear, see the picture because i didn't knew it was possible ahah. On the picture you can see the building where Penny pizzaz lived is completly deleted. (can't post a picture here sorry)
It is extremely weird because it is only this specific save file, so is it corrupt ?
Really i can deal with the minor bugs and bad ai but if the game is trying to ruin my experience by starting corrupting my saves files it's not the same deal.
Different info on my game :
do I played with mods on this save (changing script and cc) : Yes
did i try without : yes, it changed nothing
did i try with another save file : yes multiples
did i try by playing another sim : yes and it's weird because there own house getting delete (not happening with my current household)
did i try reinstall the game : no but i can try ?
did i delete all files except save and load the game to create new ones : yes it did nothing.
I heard that it come with for rent but i don't have this pack...
If i don't know who is interested by the packs i own please tell me because i need some time i play in french and knows the names in french not english for the most part.
I don't know what to do.
I started a save file by downloading off the gallery. Some had rental units and I had to restart as some lots would crash or have endless loading. And, then the save started to delete lots. after restarting and using some new lots it was better, but now it is starting to corrupt again.
I have a pre-corruption save file to share. This save file WILL corrupt if anything is added to it or any family is played with (I know because I had to keep reverting to this save after checking for corruption every time I attempted to expand on it). I did use mods in the creation of this save file, but none relating to rental residentials. I never used the cheat that enables more than 6 units per lot in this save. There are a lot of rental residentials, but it has not yet hit the cap of 100 units per save file. I hope that sharing this will help the team at EA fix this awful bug.
i really hope they fix that, im worried about the save file i built on for a while
I was really excited for For Rent so much so that I made a whole family and friend sims for it. But ever since the pack came out and all updates following my game has been deteriorating. I actually pay for all my Sims 4 Packs and Kits so it is super disheartening that I can barely play my game because of a broken pack that I Pre-Ordered :/ So sick of this.
