90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Cerridwen:
Wonderful. I return from my first vacation to find my family standing in a large rectangle of solid blue. I go to map view to see 90% of my lots in Sunset valley are now missing... they are a solid blue color where the lot used to be. Residential, Community lots are both affected. There are a few lots left ... both residential and community so it's not something effecting one or the other. Quit w/out saving and I tried again after taking all my mods out of my Mods folder, leaving only terain paints, objects, and patterns and my skin/eye replacements. Took a family on vacation, returned and all the same lots that turned blue the last time were blue again this time. The tried taking out my terrain paints, same thing. Finally, I took out my entire Mods folder and the Resourse.cfg file and deleted all my compositorcache and simcompositorcache files. Went on a vacation and came back and houses were there nothing had dissapeared.
I will now start feeding back my CC back into the game to try to figure out what is causing this and report back here.
But just wanted to post this in case anyone else is having this problem. I figured simply taking out my mods would be enough to avoid tight pants but it seems ordinary CC may be a problem too.
And in case anyone is wondering I have a store bought version, latest patch that released with WA.
UPDATE - On a hunch - before I started feeding everything back into the game bit by bit... I tried moving my Resource.cfg and Mods/Packages folder to the World Adventures folder that was created when installing WA under C/ProgramFiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3WorldAdventures rather than C/ProgramFiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3 - I restarted the game sent my sim on vacation, completed a opportunity, returned and YES! Sunset Valley was normal and all my CC was showing up. I do not have any true mods in there right now, but it seems as if the Resource.cfg and Mods file may need to be simply moved to the WA folder to get this issue resolve. I will be playing more with the game as is now to make sure it's actually resolved.
2nd UPDATE - I switched to another family, sent them on vacation and came back to find all the lots blue again. So moving the files is not a permanent solution. Back to square one.

Same problem. Some houses are spared and most rabbit holes. I wonder if it has something to do with basements/foundations etc.?
Cerridwen:
Yep that's near exactly what I'm getting. Now when I try to change families, the game crashes. I'm not getting these issues with the other saved game which is Riverview (so far) or a game I've just started as a "new game" that's Sunset Valley (again so far).
I did notice that when I first enter my old Sunset Valley saved game, even though it looks like all the lots are fine, the Goth's mansion is a big blue box even before anyone leaves for vacation.
I'm starting to get a sick feeling that my main saved game that I play 90% of the time is now BFBVFS. I have "restored" to the previous save and the Goth's mansion is still a blue box.
I'm going to keep playing the new sunset Valley game I've just started and see what happens.

Glad it isn't just me. I was beginning to think I borked something. My lots in my Goth house save are doing this. I loaded the game and found my Goth family crying over someone who had died all standing Jesus-like on a bed of blue water-like doom square. I can't seem to get rid of it and am hoping that EA gets their heads out of their asses and fixes it. :( So far my new savegame hasn't been affected, but it seems that I cannot play my pre-EP saves now either. I posted on the BBS so maybe, maybe, some one will see it who can provide an answer but I am most likely being very overly optimistic.
edit: Here is my screenshot. The sims on the lot also cannot move or interact.
Sparks:
Okay. Having this same issue EXCEPT, my Sim is in Riverview and has not gone on an adventure and whenever I start the game, his lot is black and he also cannot move.
Went into my other saves and the game loaded fine, but my Sims still cannot move.
