Lots that simply won't load...

I'm having this happen with any lot I try to visit in downtown - only while Sims are involved though. I can get in just fine in editing/build mode; just can't get Sims to travel there. They can't get in via taxi or even using their own car.
I see that substituting dummy material in my cheat console log all the time. It doesn't appear to mean anything serious. Have you tried entering the lots with debug mode on? This should allow any errors to pop up and an error log will be written to your logs directory that we can look at. It will give you an option to cancel, reset, or delete. Don't hit delete, at least not you have a chance to look over the logs and we can see what is going on. Sometimes that is the only way out, but I always try everything else I can first. In my case with the corrupted pool lights, I was able to hit Cancel, once for each pool light on the lot (so on the Spa lot, I believe it was six times), and then it continued loading and let me into the lot. If you hit delete it will permanently get rid of the pool lights. I wanted to see where they were so I could delete them myself and put new ones in the same place.

Just checking...so I go into debug mode while playing a Sim family, then drive them to the lot?
[edit]Um, how do I get into debug mode, btw? I did a search for the word in this thread but didn't see any instructions. Apologies for the tech-ignorance![/edit]

Yeah, actually, I play in debug mode all the time and so do several others here. That way I know when an error occurs. I put it in my startup cheats file. It doesn't hurt anything. Anyway, to enable debug mode (referred to by some as simply "boolprop") open your cheat console box by pressing Ctrl+Shift+C and type in the following:
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
Hope this helps!
Edit: Sorry, I spaced out and forgot the "true" at the end. :o Thanks for catching that, gynarchy. I should have been asleep in bed. (My excuse: Busy weekend, not enough sleep. And no, sleep is not just for wusses, it's for humans. :P)

You're missing the true/false at the end - boolprop testingcheatsenabled true to turn it on, boolprop testingcheatsenabled false to turn it off.

Here's a sample of what I got from that:

Would anyone know what I have to do to make it all work again? That list goes on for ages, btw - that's just a few examples.
If I have to kill that entire Downtown lot, can I reinstall it without ruining my current game?
