I placed a stone pathway with terrain paints, and placed dirt under my trees to landscape them. I saved my game multiple times to make sure the pathway stayed there in case the game crashes. I exit my game and go to take a nap, wake up, reopen my lot from the build function on the map, and my terrain paint is gone now. My speed build is ruined thanks to this and several other glitches I've dealt with today.

I thought they've fixed this when it was happening after the RoM release but it's now back but worse?
Twice in this build I've had terrain paint vanish, once during building & once post build
Building on Admiral's Wreckage in Sulani.
The first time it did it, i clicked the beach sand option "illusion of sand" (but didn't use it), & the game deleted all of the "Garden Bedlam" i had painted. It just disappeared. Undo did not bring it back. It was only the one paint though, so i just painted it back into the gaps between the others. It was obvious enough, just annoying.
The second time, was after I'd redone all my terrain painting - mix of garden bedlam, scratchy in patches, & natural oasis - & i had finished the build. I saved the lot to library, & straight after the popup closed, there was no terrain paint on my lot. At all. All of the terrain paint I'd done was completely gone.
All packs, patched to current, no cc, no mods.

I am having this issue in Windenburg on multiple lots. If I exit and then return to a lot, my terrain paint disappears. I do not use bb.moveobjects on, and I am saving every 5 minutes.
