[FR] Corrupted Lots/Houses disappear in saves with lots of rental units

Issue

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.

Information needed

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.
