90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
nanacake:
I had not experienced any blue lots using store custom content only and WA. Just opened my game now to find most residential lots are blue. The last two residential lots I had edited before my last save and quit -were visible, unoccupied and can edit them found everything intact. They both had custom store content. So I want to know is anyone having the blue lots on a lot that is not an occupied residential lot? All my community lots and empty ones still remain visible.
Can not think of what I have done differently, only thing I did was update Awesomemod 6 hours ago. There is a .sims3 folder of the save, as well as a .sims3.backup folder. I will try deleting the backup one and see what happens.
EDIT: No that did not do anything.

nanacake, your post confused me in one respect. You use the phrase "custom store content". Store content is EA-created, and not custom content. Did you mean "Exchange" content? That is made by players to share.

I meant just EA's store items. I considered it as custom even though it is created by EA because it has to be installed separately. I also feel like there's more of a possibility (of blue lots) with any downloaded content because they use up more memory. My theory is it could be a lack of RAM/a memory leak, failure to load the lots, then the save becomes corrupted. I ended up starting a new neighborhood.

Well Inge and the rest at Custom Sims are doing better than the programmers at EA. The reply from EA's Support Forum has me thinking that our only hope are the modders in the community.
The reply from the EA support forum appears to be to endlessly redirect in circles without ever actually displaying a reply. Which, I guess, makes a lot of sense. I approve of this new efficiency upgrade. Why bother having a PERSON redirect you in circles when the computer can do the same thing?
Out of curiosity, were you one of the 4 out of 23 people who found that answer to be helpful?
Haha, no! I didn't click the poll cause I know about the social interaction problems, but the blue lot issue, that answer made me think they are not trying to figure it out. Blame it on users downloading 3rd party CC, that's not T$R. Guess we have to wait on modders to come up with the solution.
Krib:
Hey Nanacake, did you perchance use a pre-WA (and patch of death) save to get the blue lots? If so, it would match my experience (posted it a couple of pages back).
On another note, game performance with .packages and the framework installed still blows chunks, at least for me. MTS is down right now, but over there in the help forum, someone hit on the idea of using Process Explorer to see what the game is doing. Turns out that for me, within a 2 minute playtime, it called one plant by Mutske from TSR (cactus04, converted to .package format) over a million times. I yanked out that plant, and gained back 7 fps.
I don't necessarily know what I *should* be seeing in Process Explorer, but maybe some of you might. Worth a look (and a run) when MTS comes back up.
