Neighboring Houses show as Default/Empty

Revisiting this once again, since my original comment a few weeks ago - i did a few things.

• removed unused rentals and replaced rentals that could be considered over decorated.
• cleared lots / apartments of furniture and objects if not in use in my file.
• regularly clearing game cache and backing up the save (at least once a week).

Since, my game has not repeated this issue. HOWEVER, i think it may stem from travelling between lots. That is when i would notice it would appear and i am yet to travel from home lots to test this. Playing in just home lots across several families and several worlds has been fine, but i am wary of travelling. I know there are recommendations out there to not travel for 10/15 minutes of real world time in games once loaded into a lot - but as per my original frustrations, a game of this scale (and price point!) should not have such limitations.

I wish they would pick this issue up and look into it earnestly as i see new comments from people still having this issue.

i think i may test the travelling today and update again. I hope it doesn’t break my save (again) but i will be loading up and backing the save up straight away.

-side note- it is strange to see that people who play with heavy alpha cc and mods like t.o.o.l and heavy world edits not have ever reported these issues. maybe it’s luck of the draw but as a maxis match cc (mix in terms of skin detail) and light script mod usage, it’s strange having such issues.
