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

Oh, I see. It's just scary about I have for Rent for the Cas and Build stuff

i don't think it happens if you don't place any new ones down.

EA_Cade  I have uploaded my save file to google drive but can't work out how to PM you. I've never sent a message on here before and can't see the option. Please can you send me a PM so I can reply to you?

I just - for the first time EVER experienced this bug where lots suddenly revert back to default. Just yesterday i started to build a flower shop - that i wanted to build solely because of Business and hobbies. When i today was gonna continue it and loaded in to it - it had reverted back to the default lot (Built on the smallest lot in Magnolia promenade). I tested with the other that i've built in the same world - same thing happened. There was no marks or anything on the map - the buildings were there as i left them. I tried exiting without saving, then removing the few mods i had, repaired the game and tried again, but the issue still remained. 
What beats me, is that this is a completely new save - i've only built like one house in it - and yes, i tested to see if that bugged out too, but that was completely normal.
Honestly, i was really looking forward to this EP - but if this is a bug that is now gonna occur and destroy saves, i can't say it encourages me to buy anything at all - because this is game breaking. I have never had issues like this, which i feel incredible lucky for and feel incredible sad for those who have had this for months. The fact that this hasn't been spoken much of, baffles me - and not in a good way.
Perhaps its time to stop pushing out DLC and actually FIX the game first. Wishful thinking perhaps, but a girl can dream.
And IF For Rent is one of the reasons behind it (like if residential rentals is some of the problem) it really sucks - because if we can't have them in our game because they somehow corrupt a save - then the whole point of the pack is useless and a waste of money. I have to say though - i don't have any residential rentals in that save - or any of my saves, so as for myself, it can't be that that is causing it.

I just really wish they would just fix the game and fix packs that needs fixing before putting out more DLC. At this rate, the game will be driven into the ground - which is kinda sad to think about, but oh well.🤷
 

Unfortunately after downloading the new Hobbies/Business DLC, clicking a lot in the following worlds: Willow Creek, Oasis, and New Crest made the lots go back to the default lot and/or disappeared. The whole neighborhood went back to default lots. I had to go back to an older save file and started to delete more lots (I'm left with 5 rental properties) in order to play the new Hobbies DLC. I have all available DLC's for the game. Definitely a memory issue. I'm afraid to add more lots in Nordhaven because it will start to corrupt my other lots in my other worlds. 

EA_CadeThank you for messaging me, unfortunately I still can't see an option to reply (I don't post here much so maybe I don't have full forum access yet?) 

It's probably easier if I just link to the save file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mQogcKEI2PR6_oLS8wVZKU_k9wlVupAj/view?usp=sharing 

Again, reading the below comments. EA, please hire more developers to help fix the bugs that are ruining and breaking TS4. Please save TS4. I am sure the current state of TS4 is not the vision you wanted for this wonderful game. You have decided to stick with TS4 and continue to bring it into the future, and I am glad that you guys made that decision because I never was really interested in TS5. However, there will be no future for TS4 with all these bugs and the lack of developers to fix them. You guys really need to hire more developers on the bug fixing team. At this point, hiring more developers to fix these critical bugs is the best thing you guys can do for TS4.

I had this issue now for the first time after I installed Businesses & Hobbies. 

It started with default neighborhood lots. As soon as I saved in this savegame, it additionally started with disappearing lots and error code 800 in Oasis Springs. So I reloaded my old save, deleted some rentals and other lots and the issue showing default neighborhoods disappeared. For the moment everything is running fine. It seems that the amount of data has really become too much due to the installation of the new pack, which has led to the corruption. At the time of corruption I had about 50 rental units. No mods or cheats used to expand the cap. I've got all Packs and the save is very old. I really don't want to lose it.

I just read from a user on X that this bug also migrates to other saves and corrupts them too. Is this true? If so, this is just catastrophic. However, I don't understand how a bug in one save spreads to other saves. It's not like it's a computer virus.

@Naiyezi, could you share your save file with the sims team? They're looking for save files that have broken on the current version of the game. Thanks!
