I have had this issue now maybe 2-3 times. At first I thought I just forgot to click save, but now it is clear that it is an issue with the game. It doesn't matter what lot I have used or edited, whether I have played on it or not, the issue remains the same. Here is a detailed explanation of what happened last time I played:

I rebuild Vlad's mansion, clicked "Manage worlds" once I was done and moved in a sim to the lot next to Vlad's. I downloaded a house from the Gallery (my own old build) and started playing with the chosen sim. She had a relationship with Vlad, got pregnant, had babies etc. I save the game. 

Today I started playing again, but I noticed that Vlad's mansion is now the Maxis-build and the one I had built was gone. I thought I had forgotten to save, but then I realized that the sim I had moved in to the lot next door was still there, still had a relationship with Vlad, the babies were there and the house I downloaded from the Gallery, all done after the original build.

Hi!

I tried repairing the game, and haven't been able to recreate the bug after that. Let's hope it was this easy of a fix!😊

[crinrict]

@Bnibuilds Going to mark this as fixed for now and move to tech but do tag me if the issue comes back.

[Bnibuilds]

@crinrict The problem is back! This time I used the "Save and exit" function and the build I had done was gone.

@Bnibuilds Nothing in there that really jumps out.

Could this be your issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Houses-Lots-disappear/td-p/4620279/jump-to/first-unread-m... ?

I don't think it's related, because the lot I built didn't completely disappear, it just reverted back to the original Vlad's mansion in the game as if I had never bulldozed it and built anything new. Same thing now when the issue came back, the build was still there but it is as if it didnt save the build, but it did save the gameplay. Any new relationships and so on are there and are saved, but the lot next to the one I was playing had turned into an older version of it, so it was a half-built version Ibhad saved previously but not the finished build.

@Bnibuilds Some people in that thread are reporting for them it just reverts to original though. I'm not sure if it's a different issue or same root cause.

Do you have the same issue on an new save too ?
