Lots that simply won't load...

Dark Trepie:
I'm wondering if anyone else is having a problem like this.  I've got two downtown lots that absolutely refuse to load.  The Hub and The Lulu Lounge.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  It will just sit at the loading screen and do nothing.  I first noticed it when I tried to go to them on a date, and ended up having to minimize the game and killing it with Task Manager.  I even try to go into the lots in build mode and the same thing happens.

To those who probably think I'm not waiting long enough, I tried to go into one in build mode last night and went to take a shower while it was loading (and I take long showers).  And when I got back it was STILL loading.

So, lot corruption?  Bad install?  I don't know.  Any ideas?

I've read several people having problems with the Lulu lounge. It did load for me, but it did seem to take longer the first time (not nearly as long as it was for you).  Is it possible for you to throw it into the lot bin, buldoze the original lot and then throw it back into the neighborhood? That seemed to help some people who were having problems with some of the Maxis lots.

Dark Trepie:
I haven't actually tried anything yet.  But that's a good idea.  Gonna see if that works right now.

Torkle:
Sometime in the past, have you quit the game or had a crash while on an outing or date at those locations?  That might put the lots in a bad state.  You could try overwriting the lots with the originals extracted from the NightLife CD.

Dark Trepie:
Yeah, I did go to one of them on a date and ended up having to quit the game at the loading screen because of this.  But its doing this in both Pleasentview and Strangetown.  Would something like this affect them in all neighborhoods?
