I bought a land expansion and all was well. Then the game crashed a few days ago and I lost the expansion progress marker on the plot. Now every expansion space says "Another land expansion is currently unlocking", including the space I was expanding. It should have finished by now, but it hasn't and I can't select any other space to expand, so I'm hitting my space limit. How do I either get my expansion back, or cancel it so I can start again?

If you're asked to clear data or reinstall the app, make sure your app is being back-upped to the App store or EA account.
The backup options might have turned off during a previous update. Your app will reset, but after creating a Sim you should get the popup to restore from the cloud.
