I built a basegame home and went to place it on Pique Hearth. I had bulldozed Pique Hearth on a previous occasion. When I went to place the house I'd built from my Gallery I get a "system error"...

'System Error' when placing lot

I am currently rebuilding my worlds and therefore placing all new community lots down and a few residentials. Sometimes they are fine but sometimes they glitch. Eg. I am currently trying to replace the Sequoia Cottage lot. Normally I would do it from map view and select the one from my library which I have been successfully using in another game. On this occasion it deleted the existing lot but did not place the new one - no error message or anything, it just wasn't there. I exited without saving and reloaded and decided to go into build mode to place it. I bulldozed the current lot but then when I tried to place the new one, I got this:
Every time I click on the confirm tick it just pops the system error message back up.
Another error I keep getting is lot types not transferring. Eg. I place a Wedding Venue down but it ends up being a residential. I place a residential down, but it keeps its original Vacation Rental status.
And I can no longer use Community Venues (the ones with the garden, maker venue and market which sims vote to change) as they seem totally glitched - they allocate a random venue when I leave build mode (such as the garden one) without any sims having visited there and then when I do try and visit it crashes the game.
Playing on PC, all packs except one kit installed, game up-to-date, no mods or cc.

this is happening to me too with several lots. im transferring a bunch of sims and lots to a new blank save (srsly's blank save to be specific) and several of them have this system error glitch. the weirdest case was where i placed a build from my library on one 30x30 lot in forgotten hollow and it placed just fine, and then **immediately after** i tried to place the SAME BUILD on a different lot in forgotten hollow (30x20 this time) and it caused an endless loading screen??? the library build was only 30x20, thats why i placed it down again, i was planning on bulldozing the first one bc i realised i had placed it on a lot that was bigger than necessary. im doing all of this from the manage worlds screen. if i click 'build' and load into the empty lot that way before placing a build from my library it'll say 'system error'. if i go back to the map screen and place the same lot from there then it'll load for a while like it's building the lot but then when the load screen ends, the lot still appears empty from the map screen and nothing has actually been built. this is very annoying. these are mostly lots i've saved recently bc like i said im transferring stuff from my old save file to my new one. some lots work and others don't and i really dont know what the distinction is. i have never run into this 'system error' thing before ever in any of my save files so mayeb it was introduced by this latest update?
