Can you guys upload your save files affected by the issue to a file sharing website, and give us the link here? Dropbox or any other website will do. Standard smile

 

Ideally, we would like you to upload both a before and after save, one where you have the problem and the last one before the problem appeared.

 

Simply link it here afterwards.

Re: [INFO REQUEST] Houses/Lots disappear

★★★ Novice
  • Are you using mods and custom content in your game ? If no, did you remove or never use ?
    • i don't have mods or cc and i have never used any
  • Do you download houses from the Gallery ?
    • no i do not
  • Which expansion do you have ?
    • i have get to work, spa day, and perfect patio stuff 
  • What's your operating system ?
    • I'm on a macbook pro with OS X yosemite
  • Which house(s) are gone ? NPC Houses ? GTW lots ? Your own ?
    • every single lot i go to is gone and when i made a new sim and selected her first house even that was gone but only my first sim's house is still showing up but every other lot disappears.
  • When did this occur ? When you loaded the game or on traveling ?
    • this started happening yesterday and it happens when i travel to any kind of lot.
  • Is just the house gone from the lot or the Sims too ?
    • the entire lot is gone and so far the only lot where the sims have appeared is when i went to work with my sim at the hospital but that is it.
  • How much disc space do you have left on your hard drive (the one where the user folder is in)
    • i have 81.82 GB free out of 120.11 GB total.
  • Anything else that comes to mind ?
    • when i go into build mode from the manage worlds map, when its finished loading, the screen comes up black and then zooms in halfway and theres a straight line through the screen. For example, like if its day time, the top half of the screen would be blue and a straight edge and then the bottom half is the rest of the world and it just does not look normal.

empty lots solution!!

★★★ Novice

i actually found a solution to this problem! i am on a macbook so i went to finder so I'm not sure how it works on windows/pc but wherever documents are on your computer you go there and then click EA and then click sims 4 and click and drag the "saves" file and drag it to your desktop and you game should start working again! it worked for me so hopefully it works for everyone else! i found this info on a different page but it was in spanish so whoever wrote it (forgot your name) i will give credit to you. i apologize for forgetting your name but thank you!!

But this way you loose your save game. Did you just start a new game ?
