90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
HugeLunatic:
From what I've seen so far it's the orchid vase and foosball table which seem to cause an issue. I've got someone saying that my Lack shelves are causing blue lots, and I cloned them from the knick knack shelf. I don't have WA or the latest patch, anyone up to verifying this for me?

Edit: I just found the knick knack shelf as a possible issue on Amjoie's list, so I suppose I answered my own question. :/

I suspect the blue lots to be caused by a problem with the way s3oc decides which resources to include in the package, and therefore to renumber. This is probably a material or texture definition we have not understood the significance of and cannot just be given any old number. TSRW programmers may not understand the problem any better, their tool may be creating non blue-lotting objects simply because TSRW only pulls in those resources that are going to be edited. TSRW may well make blue-lotting objects if the user decided to edit one of the more obscure resources.
We're still investigating but there has been no breakthrough yet. If anyone else feels like doing a bit of analysis, the more hands on deck the better :D
In the meantime, please be guided by Amjoie's list of "bad" content and don't clone certain objects using s3oc.
This is likely insignificant, but if you place a house from the bin on a lot and then cancel it, the entire lot turns blue. At least this has been my experience since the original game was released. It never stayed blue though; once back in neighborhood view everything looked normal.

I honestly think that it has nothing to do with cc's. I installed WA and sent a family in Riverview to France. When they got back I found that all 4 of my families that I had created in Riverview had lost all fruit, vegetables and fish from their inventories, all skills and all harvestable plants. I spent some time retrieving their skills so their jobs wouldn't suffer and next day went back to find out that every lot except for two on the neighbourhood were blue and couldn't gain access to them. I had approximately six cc files including the updated Awsome mod and the super computer at the time. ( I had taken everything out to install the patch and ep and then put in those I knew were safe)
I have since gone to Sunset Valley and played some families there. I have not sent them away anywhere and everything seems to be fine. Fron this, I think it definitely is a glitch with the ep. I don't think I'll be buying any other new ep until it has been around for at least 3 months, if then.

This sounds like a completely different issue, unrelated to the blue lot problem. I can confirm that the blue lots I've experienced so far have been directly related to CC. My testing hood has one lone guy living on an empty lot. I put a piece of CC down, then save, exit, and reenter. I tried out HugeLunatic's shelves with this method, and they definitely caused blue lots for me.
Inge:
Can I just point out that the blue lots are not actually blue. They are cut-outs. The blue you can see is the underneath of the sky. If you get close up to a blue lot on high ground you can look through it obliquely and see the land lower down the hill.
