When I load my lot or go to work with my Sim, the game simply loads an empty lot
Cause
Unclear
Things you can try
- DO NOT SAVE YOUR GAME IN THIS STATE
- Shut down the game completely and reload it.
- Move documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves\slot_00000001.save to the desktop (after shutting down game) and then reload it.
- Load a backup
- If you have saved your house to the library/Gallery, you can try bulldozing and place it again.
Please provide the following info
If you have the issue, please answer the questions below
- Are you using mods and custom content in your game ? If no, did you remove or never use ?
- Do you download houses from the Gallery ?
- Which expansion do you have ?
- What's your operating system ?
- Which house(s) are gone ? NPC Houses ? GTW lots ? Your own ?
- When did this occur ? When you loaded the game or on traveling ?
- Is just the house gone from the lot or the Sims too ?
- How much disc space do you have left on your hard drive (the one where the user folder is in) ?
- Anything else that comes to mind ?
And also the info asked by EA_Kristi

Hello, (sorry - It's me again)
So, I've been busy lately but I've finally tried what you said about not installing the expansion packs.
However, now I can't save (The game failed to save. Error Code : 0.), so I can't see if the houses are going to disappear...
Thanks

Sounds like the save corrupted then.
Would you be willing to share that save game ?
If so, just zip the whole saves folder and upload to some file sharing site like mediafire or dropbox. Then send me the link via PM:
Good Luck

I've tried both your saves.
In one the family is not even moved in. Is that the one I need to try ?
The other works fine for me. I can save no problem.
Are there any particular lots that are missing ?
