90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Lindsey:
All I can say is every lot except for two were blue lots (or cut outs, thank you Inge :) ) and that this happened with virtually no ccs installed
Tingeling:
I managed to track down a piece of cc that caused the cutout in the ground. The problem is I haven't been able to make any cc install tools to work so I have no idea what the cc actually was, as I took it out of the DCBackup folder. I'll try and get the launcher or 3viewer working to see what the faulty piece of custom content there was. None of my sims had any problems with things going awol in the inventories after returning from vacation.

I honestly think that it has nothing to do with cc's.

Yes, but virtually is the significant word in your sentence. It's misleading to say that CC doesn't have anything to do with it if you do have some in your game. In order to cause a blue lot (or a cutout), you have to place that specific download on your lot, save and exit, then reenter the lot. A lot of people don't make the connection because it doesn't show up immediately. You don't need to have a huge mods folder, all you need is one "bad" download.
Slymenstra:
Just wanted to add another step to finding blue/cut out lots, click Map View too. Your lot that you are viewing may actually be fine, misleading you to believe the CC is okay, only to have you hit map view and see the corrupted lots in the rest of the neighborhood.
I forgot this step and believed the CC was okay and began to play..only to notice later when I hit Map View that the world had imploded!
Inge:
It's simpler than that. Start a new hood. Get one item of the bad cc, and place it in one lot - any lot. Take any sim, from any lot, on vacation and back again. Most of your lots will be cut out.
Repeat with another new hood, putting the bad cc on a different lot. The same lots will be cut out as before. So it doens't bear any relationship to exactly where you put that CC, there is something particular about the lots that get cut out that is different from the ones that do not.
I believe this is an EA bug, and it is simply triggered by the CC.
