90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Barbara Walters:
So then, has it been confirmed that the blue lots only appear after going to one of the vacation towns? If that's the case I think I can manage staying home until someone compiles a thorough list of the bad cc to be removed.

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.
How come I don't need to go to vacation to have blue lots? Just place the cc, save, exit to main menu, and re-load the hood, and you get blue lots.

Having the CC on a lot somewhere in the neighborhood causes the corrupt lots. Even in a house you built 3 months ago and just took it out of your library and plopped it in your neighborhood. The act of saving causes the glitch to appear. So going or not going on vacation does not matter. If you have bad CC on a lot and save, it kills your town forever.

Here is the link to a list of known bad CC. http://www.customsims3.com/forum1/YaBB.pl?num=1258836562 Since things get buried and no one reads the whole thread.

I don't have WA and got blue lots. It happened in an old neighborhood (third/fourth generation) with old CC, as soon as I installed the 1.7 patch.
Grimma:
Just to confirm, I also suffer from the blue lot insanity.
1.) I don't have WA yet, it started happening right after I patched to 1.7.
2.) It happened both with an old save and a new game
3.) I only have CC dating from before the patch and WA release.
4.) Interesting titbit but possibly a red herring, since I could be very wrong: I seem to remember that at first it was only the Museum of Art that was affected. I zoomed in, went huh?, and after I saved my game most of the lots in my hood were affected. Now I could be remembering it wrong (although I don't think so), but could this maybe have something to do with the "riddler fix" that the patch was supposed to do? When I get back home I'll test that and report back.
EDITED TO ADD:
I also have a problem where every single thing that used to be in my sims' inventories, bookcases and fridges just AWOL-ed the first time I started up after patching (so yes, old game). Dunno if it's connected to this or just to my own stupidity, but investigations are continuing.
