90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Death-Jester:
Personally, I think it's just a fuckup with the patch. Too many people have the same problem, but different things seem to fix it (or not!). I'm just going to hold off until either EA sort it out, or Pescado does :)
Cerridwen:
I just returned with my Sim from China after updating to 1.7/2.2 and the neighborhood was nearly all blue lots again. I was so hoping the new patch would fix that but I should have known better.

I have the same problem and have been reading all I can here, at TSR, MTS, and the official site. I have a totally legit game and I had to do a complete reinstall to patch and add WA which would not install without the update. I have all patches released to now.
I have tried old saves, new hoods, backups, legacys, every type of save possible. I can get a Sim to a vacation and back. Sometimes the Sim returns to a blue lot and sometimes not ....... but then the hood is borked with the blue lots next time I go to play it.
Nothing is working. I can get the lots back only be starting over with one of my backups I made before installing the EP, and then it goes haywire after a vacation, no matter what I do.
Aeval:
Damnit! I played all day today and had no problems ,even after visiting Egypt and quitting the game once. Then boom, it's back. The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I used the testing cheats. Anyone else noticing a correlation between "testingcheatsenabled true" and the lots borking?
Cerridwen:
Aeval - I do not use testing cheats enable EVER and I get blue lots. I do use kaching, motherlode, fadeobjects off, and moveobjects on. These are not testing cheats however.
I have now after getting blue lots again after the 2nd patch, removed all my Resource.cfg and Mods folder completly. I also removed all my Non EA created CC from the game, via deleting the caches yet again, and reinstalling only EA created objects. I do have custom homes installed but they do not contain any CC, so I left them.
Edit to finish my post-
First thing I noticed after restarting. Up till now the spawn rate for collectibles in Sunset Valley was crap. Before WA I had collectables all over the place, pretty easy to find. After I installed WA, I could barely find any bugs or rocks or gems anywhere. They were there, just very few of them. I thought it was a new game thing, like EA now wants you to collect on vacation or something. After removing all non EA downloads and restarting, I right away noticed that all the rocks and gems were spawning as normal. I cannot fathom what CC would have caused this to happen as I only had objects installed in the game before this. NO MOD files. And no modified Objects either. Just basics like tables, chairs, decor and CAS stuff like shoes,hair and makeup.
I reloaded the previous "good" save and sent the same sim to china again. Kept her there the full time, returned and no blue lots. I will continue to keep playing this until I either blue lot again or I feel that I can say that something CC wise is causing this.
Oh and for what it's worth, I have the latest patch and am still getting .backup saves in my Sims3 folder. So the very latest patch doesn't seem to be stoping that from happening.
