Neighboring Houses show as Default/Empty

Issue

When loading into a lot, all the neighboring houses show either as an empty lot or show the default lot that comes with the game.

Loading into the lot shows the correct lot. Thumbnails on the map are also correct.

There is no endless loading.

Info

It's unclear what's happening here but I tested this on a save and found that it was only an issue for certain families. Loading the same lot with a different family showed the houses fine.

It looks like a rending issue where the game doesn't find the correct data and shows either an empty lot (if the lot comes empty on a new game) or with the house that was originally on that lot.

At this point I do not know if this is an early sign of save game corruption.

Workaround

In the save I tested, I was able to fix the issue by simply moving the affected families out and back in.
