90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Slymenstra:
I am embarrassed about how much CC I have but so far Lemon Candy's clutter is the only thing when in my Mods folder to create blue lots. I am also a huge fan of their stuff. Some of the things from LC that I have were also extracted from the Sims 3, maybe something in that screws it up? I have to go for a while so I can't test to find out yet.
I will have to contact LC to see if it messes up their game too.
UPDATE!!!!!
Lemon Candy's file group called Buyable WORKS
Lemon Candy's file group called Clutter WORKS
Lemon Candy's Indoor Plants BROKEN
I still have clutter and random objects to test. Then I will go through the Indoor Plants and see what one or all are broken.
Cerridwen:
Death Jester are you running a completly mod/CC free game and still getting the Blue lots? I have confirmed that lemoncandy's files are causing blue lots by running a CC free game with no problems, then placing a singe one of her plants and getting the blue screen.
If you are not running CC free, I would suggest you take everything out and run the game for a while, see what happens.
Would you by any chance be using any other CC that was taken extracted out of Sims 2?
I will try to test the pool thing to see if I can duplicate, as soon as I'm able, but I have to work today.

Shadow - if this is indeed a problem with CC files it is not (in this single case) EA's fault. There are plenty of things you can blame them for, but this may not be one of them.
CC may be the problem now but the CC worked before the patch and now it doesn't. The patch screwed up the CC; the CC did not screw up the patch.
You are correct that the patch/EP has affected some CC. But this is expected. It has been happening since the days of Sims 1. Not all CC/Mods will be compatible moving forward and some will need to be removed until the creator can update them. EA cannot resonably be expected to test a patch/EP with the thousands of files of CC out there avaliable on hundreds of different websites.
Now the fact they released a patch resulting in save errors. THAT's something we can bash them on. NOT applying new features of the patch EP like recolorability on stair and fences to their PREMIUM (snert) Store Content, lets call that a screw up. Or perhaps you're right and everthing is EA's fault and they evil, horrible, and all around stupid. I just woke up and haven't had any coffee yet, so that's entirely possible too.
shadow:
I'll go with your last statement. ;D Go get some coffee.
Taking out LC stuff helped the blue lots but not my freezing problem. That seems to be related to broken objects. The sim that broke the object immediately and permanently freezes. >:( Deleting or repairing does not help.

No, I only removed the lemoncandy stuff. When you say 'mod/cc free', should I remove just the 'Mod' folder from Program Files, or the 'Downloads' folder from Documents too?

I have to really go now but my findings so far are files that start with lemonc_Indoorplants (It looks like all of them) are broken and causes blue pools. I did not get very far to see if any of them are safe. Broken for sure lemonc_IndoorPlants_VaseWhiteTulip.package.
The best way for you to test yourself is go on a lot place your CC objects on this lot then save as. Go to main menu select a different save, load it, then go to main menu, reload your CC object testing save. Blue pools? Something in there is borked. No blue pools? Looks like the objects are safe.
From now on it looks like we may have to test our objects before using them in our favorite hood since once you get blue pools the hood is ruined. So always make back ups!!! Test objects in another hood!
This is ONLY for the blue pools glitch. God only knows what is glitching anything else up. I haven't gotten that far.
