90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Slymenstra:
I started to get this today after I made a new house (I made it have a basement too). I exited out after saving and everything was working great. I downloaded some curtains and added them to my CC folder and out of habit I deleted those cache files that you delete when you update your hacks.
When I loaded back up, my neighborhood is swimming in blue pools. I tried all the suggestions and nothing fixes it. When I create a new town everything is perfect.
So I went snooping around in another older save of another neighborhood and in that I found the Art Museum being the only building turned into a pool. This building had the riddler tiles before the XPack. I also noticed my pattern favorites is missing (obviously connected to the caches we delete all the time)
So maybe it has to do with patterns and cache files? I don't know...another stupid frustration.
I also found I crash when I tried to make a basement in a house that had a foundation and a pool right up against the foundation. I didn't see it written anywhere that you can't make a basement in a house with a foundation that but apparently you can't.
Oh well...starting another neighborhood AGAIN.

why ?
The problem is evtl Custom Patterns.
I'm not sure what 'evtl' is. Evil? I meant I did not put back any of the custom paterns that I originally had in my game before installing WA. The game I'm currently running is custom pattern free. I do have the Store patterns that were created by EA, but I'm not considering them custom as they are EA created.
I have been playing my new hood with/out issue so far. I partially redecorated the Goths house, including adding a basement with the new tool, switched to the Steel household, then sent him on vacation, tomb raided, returned, and no blue lots. I'm going to continue to mess around with this current game. I'm hopeful that the issue with the blue lots is in fact resolved by reinstalling CC via the launcher, and not reinstalling any custom patterns. Unfortunately it appears I've learned this too late to save my original game.
Hmmm...... interesting about that back up folder too. I did notice my new game has a .backup folder now as well where before my saves did not. Perhaps that has something to do with it as well.
Aeval:
I dumped all my custom patterns and only installed my family with no house. I don't know which it was, but it did the trick and my game is working pretty well. Rather slow and choppy, but that is a different matter.

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
That isn't WA related I believe. It happened to me before when some parts of Riverview in the WorldCaches folder was accidentally deleted. Try reinstalling Riverview.

You're right. I totally forgot I took all my EA Downloads out and moved the DCCache folder to my desktop. I've since fixed that. And somehow fixed the blue lots issue although, fuck if I know what I did; I've tried so many things. I think it might have to do with what someone in this thread did with their EA Downloads and re-installing with the Launcher and deleting all of the DCCBackup files.
