Ideas
I don't have a lot of information now but I want to add to this thread that my safe file got corrupted about a year ago when I played as a landlord on Hound's Head lot in Brindleton Bay. It worked fine for a short time then randomly when I loaded into the game the foundation of the swimming pool was missing (pool was raised) where there should have been stairs in the landlords house there was a grey floor but they still walked up as if there were stairs. But whenever these things appeared when I loaded in it also said my sims didn't own any rentals and so I could not edit anything to do with being a landlord and if I went into build mode there were no options to edit anything. I started getting error messages loading and it became unplayable - I couldn't even go back to an older save. I had tried a folder refresh, numerous game repairs, tested without mods. I ended up having to reinstall the whole game. I'm sorry I don't have any more than this now, it's all I can recall and I have since deleted the corrupted save file. I really enjoyed playing the landlord but now am too scared to try again as don't want the game to become corrupted again. I did recently pluck up the courage to play as a tenant and all was fine.
