90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.

One observation. I just noticed that there is now a 'favorites' category in the CAS patterns display box. Was this always there? Or is this a new feature of WA?
Yes, the Favorites category is brand new. I'd love to experiment with it but, I'm having other problems like, instead of lots being blue, my lots are black. I keep reading about this problem having to do with hardware but, I've never experienced this before, even when I didn't pay attention to system temps.
Also, I'm having this issue:
[photo removed because it wasn't needed]
My Sims name is fine (Jason Ishmael) but everyone in his town' (new Riverview) name is wonky ie. this chicks name is showing as "World/Riverview/Sims: Rhoda World/Riverview/Sims: Bagley
This nh was created after I installed WA.

OK, I didn't start a 3rd game. I rolled back my new game to the save before, and all is going fine so far. I realized I placed a lot that I took from my old Sunset Valley (the borked one) into my new one. I was trying to avoid having to remodel all my lots from scratch. I rolled back to a save BEFORE I did that and the weirdness with the dropper registering everything as simple flooring is gone again.
Note to self- Do not copy lots from saved games that are imploding and put it nice new saved games. STUPID STUPID BAD BAD
Question to anyone who is NOT having problems with their game. -- I noticed that when I try to use the CAS tool on any existing stairs,railings or fences on my existing lots it does not work. I need to delete the stair,rail, or fence and then once I place a new one am able to use the CAS tool on it. After placing a new one, I can use the CAS tool on it normally like anything else.
Is this the way it's working for everyone else? Or is it yet another sign of borkage for me?

The problem is evtl Custom Patterns.

I don't have WA, but to stop my lots from turning blue, I realized it was the saved games and their titles. If you have opened a game file name.sims3 for the 1st time in patch 1.66 or WA, then it will turn into a folder. Once you have the folder, then you must delete the file name.sims3.backup. That way the game can make a backup folder.
I have been able to save without error and comeback to my game and play. No more blue lots. Hope that helps.
Druscylla:
I will try that brownlustgirl. I have tried removing CC (I have no mods) and deleting cache files, and nothing is helping so far. I also cannot change existing stair/railings either as was previously mentioned. But in my new post WA save I haven't had blue lots and sim names are showing up fine. The game overall is fine except that it is ungodly slow in destination maps, takes forever to save and load, and crashed only once during a save. Other than that, all is working as intended (as of now).
