Reply to everyone on the thread- I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this on here before because there's 53 pages and I'm not going to be reading through every message-
If a hidden lot (hospital, police station, lab, magic realm, etc etc) has decided to remove itself from existence, take a sim to that lot and enter the cheat "bb.enablefreebuild" . It allows you to go into build mode whilst on these hidden lots.
You can either build yourself a whole new hospital/police station etc etc or go into the gallery and import one.
WARNING: if you choose to build it yourself, for the lot to be able to function as intended/allow sims to progress their careers on active careers, there is a list of items which each type of building must have. They're listed in this link below.

If you're not confident in making one yourself, or can't be bothered (relatable), the safest thing to do is A) go onto another save and save the hospital to the gallery using freebuild, and then import it onto the lot for the broken save. Or B) import someone elses from the gallery, as it most likely has all the requirements as many people simply renovate the hospital and leave all the objects in place.
The cheat doesn't solve the issue of lots going poof in the middle of the night, but it does allow you to recover/replace these hidden lots which were previously un-editable and doomed to be lost forever.

I am also having this problem. One other issue is that my fiance's game (on her PC) saved to her OneDrive, and now I am getting all of her saves on top of mine. For me, it is only any lot I travel to or throw a party at. Anytime I travel or start a social event somewhere, the lot it goes to is completely empty even though the icon beforehand shows the building. My house saves fine however.

I just ended up running into this issue as well, so far the only fix I found on this is to move the household.
It doesn't always work, but it's the best I can come up with at the moment.

Please help! I have The Sims 4 on a non-metal, 2010, white Mac. I have a few compatible packs as well.
The problem is that my houses and buildings have all disappeared. They’re all there on the map, but once to click on a house to open a game, there’s the family on an empty lot with no belongings.
im absolutely unable to reach customer service and it’s been 2 months! Please help me.

@JenZeiner Hello! That sounds very frustrating. I haven't experienced this myself so I did some research. Perhaps you could try the suggestions in the first post of the below thread.

Thank you for your help! I’m just so frustrated! This happened about 6 months ago, and someone from EA helped me over the phone and fixed it. Stupid me though, I didn’t take notes and have forgotten how to solve the problem.
im sorry…. Just throwing myself a pity-party and you’re my only guest. But thank you!

I have the same issue. I start up the game and my custom loading screen works and it displays all of my cc but when I enter the game it is all gone. I click on a lot and load in and the lot is empty. There is nothing on it at all and it displays the 'this content is not downloaded on this device' message. It does this when it is just base game or any lot in my game. I even deleted the game on origin and reinstalled it but it still doesn't work. It's been about two weeks now and nothing I've done had worked. Does anyone know what to do?
