I also want to mention ,that I tried to start a new game,I noticed that in the new game everything works perfectly fine even with my mods I can travel everywhere and go into build mode without any problems.The grey Llamas also weren’t there.Because of that I think the issue has to do with a save of mine.I hope someone will have time to help me with this frustrating problem.

@Chase_1975 Looks like this might just be another sign of save corruption. Do you have any backups from before it started happening ?

[Chase_1975]

@crinrict No , unfortunately I do not have any backups from before it started happening.

@Chase_1975

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

@crinrict Hey,so is there anything I could try to fix my corrupted save,you said that you would continue writing in this thread,in one PM but you never did.I hope I didn't sound rude,I just don't want to lose the family tree progress of 4 years.

@Chase_1975 I'm sorry. was pretty busy and was trying to get more info but or me it all comes down what I already said in the DMs.

I don't think there's much you can do at this point. You can try to save your families and houses to the gallery and place to a new save but that doesn't give any guarantees as it could be something about them that's corrupting your save + it would loose you your family tree.

I believe it's yet another symptoms of this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Houses-Lots-disappear/m-p/4620279

as you can see, there's several linked and the whole thing has been going on since forever. It' just very hard to duplicate.

Maxis needs saves from before and after to find a cause but most people don't have a before save.

For rent made it a lot worse but you said that you didn't use any on those lots but it does seem to usually start in Willow Creek and then spread to other hoods.

Sorry but I don't have anything else at this point.
