This bug started way back my dear when we just had Get to Work on the table.
And I know that because I was the first person to report this issue when It happened to me on Magnolia Promenade after changing a lot from Retail to Residential and then the orange exclamation thing, lots disappearing...all started to show up.
I'm not here negating what you are saying but don't assume that we are all here unaware of what is happening lol
Anyways the "spread" thing is real but not on the way you are thinking.
I meant spread because EVEN AFTER deleting Sims, rentals and other lots, this issue of not being able to see the real lot across the street is still happening. And happens on lots that were not happening before.
I'm on my day off testing this all day and I noticed that this is not just a visual bug, the lots are literally being deleted by the game and this is a symptom of save corruption.
Not being able to SEE lots is one thing. Lots being deleted is another story.
There are live service games with more features than TS4 and that are not falling apart.
Sorry if you took it aggressively :D
I wrote this to make EA aware of the scale
And my mistake - not to delete, but to switch to another type of lot
Sorry me If I was a little bit grumpy xD
But yes...I did change the lots back to residential and no results. You can access my save file below if you want have a check and maybe you find something that I didn't
Now I need to replan all my neighborhoods before playing. At least I have a backup save so I can restore the deleted lots 🤷♂️Its a shame that we can't even play the pack we brought lol
Wow, new bug?
You have miniatures on world map, but when i load lot and back - they disappearSame here:
What is a bug - miniatures or empty lot?
And yes: u have default lot here:But in another world no...:
First time i see this problem ONLY on one world
Have you delete all lots from Willow in sims4studio?
In willow when i build something in lots next to active lot it is visable:Two default lot are still appear but when visit them they switch into empty lot
Really i see this first time o.OSee? This is exactly what I meant by save corruption. 😵
But I think I discovered something while testing yesterday...
When we place new lots in new worlds, the game starts deleting lots in the earlier worlds, beginning with Willow Creek. I noticed this because the restaurant in Willow Creek was missing a lot of furniture, though it wasn’t entirely removed (you can see this in the save file I provided as well).
This suggests that the game doesn't just have a limit on the number of lots—it also has a global item limit across all worlds.
If I had continued renovating Ravenwood or Nordhaven, the deletion issue would likely have spread to Oasis Springs as well.
So, we now need to be mindful of three things:
1 - Lots with an excessive number of items
2 - Rental properties
3 - Small businessesI managed to continue renovations without any major bugs by deleting a large number of rental properties and converting them into residential lots (in the same save file I provided).
I'll keep testing and see what else I can uncover. 🤔
At this point, I don’t think the issue is related to the Sims population limit.
