Deleted Sim on Business Lot

This time the magic wand produced the missing sim (without clones or any other noticable defect) and only one small quirk. A cashier-NPC appeared at the cash register. She's not listed as an employee (this business has none as of yet), and deleting the register only set her free to play around the lot. My sim could not ask her to leave, and so I quit without saving. (I'm not sure if I could have driven home with the 12 wandering around or not.) I returned, deleted the register, used the magic wand, and all seems well. My sim was able to drive home.
This seems like expected behavior: The cashier NPC likely appeared because it couldn't figure out the lot was owned. But your sim was able to make it home so is no longer stuck on a community lot, yes?

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, here's an update:
Yes, my sim made it home. She then sold the lot. (This sim's sole purpose in my game is to simply set up lots that need certain items like reward items, crafted items, magazines, etc. She builds the lot, then sells it back "to the community" immediately.) I then spent yesterday simply finishing that Downtown lot and the one beside it, and haven't played any characters thus far. This morning I went back to PV to check on her and cannot find her house. It's simply gone. It's not in the bin, nor is she. I almost didn't want to post this; it sounds insane or made up. I'm going to look through one of the other back-ups, and maybe do the whole thing over again to see what happens. (My neighbourhood folder is huge, so this takes a while.) I'm not ruling out my own stupidity at this point. Is such a thing even possible, an entire house disappearing off the map?

Oh, yes indeedy! These threads might help. Use search - there may be other threads.

OKay, now you get to perform the fun task of SimPEing together something called a "lot descriptor splice", in which you take the lot descriptor of the vanished lot from a pre-vanished version and splice it back into your current hood.

I know there was some collection files on mts2 that give you the craft items from OFB available to buy from build mode, the other stuff I'm not sure.
Wanted to note something- Lots have disappeared for me, with whole families just poof. It was always a max file issue though that only pertains to mac. (Loading with too much custom content didn't hax my terminal to allow MOAR files opening at once). I wonder if it could occur for windows if you ran out of virtual memory. But you'll know if that happens because your images for each hood at main screen will turn into green grid map looking images, and unless they were like that before (because no map image was defined for the .sc4) or you deleted the images, the game isn't loading everything. Also saving the game in that state officially borked my hoods so they had to be deleted.
