Everything that can go wrong, is!

Don't you have a backupped copy of the neighbourhood, to play it again? (I backup each 3-4 days the neighbourhood, just in case).
And, do you have a saved Downloads folder? I save it each 3-4 days.
Paste a previous backupped neighbourhood.
Paste your saved Downloads folders again.
Usually, when I try to move a house to the house bin, I get a message that I have to VISIT this house first, then move it to the house bin. Didn't you get this message? Weird.
JM will "kill" me, but the easiest backup is done with the Enhanser - it has many backups, with dates of the backup. The SimPe backups only the last one.
I can play in Strangetown, make a lot of backups, and then decide to play it from the beginning - restoring the first backup, then return to the last play, by restoring the last backup.
We posted at the same time, I think!
Yes, I make frequent backups (almost everyday), and, like I said above, may go back to the last one. Which was Friday. Bleah.
I've gotten the "you have to visit the lot first" message in the past, before I even knew about the lotbinning thing and would try to move out a family or move the whole thing to the bin. I know better, now, but I screwed up anyway. And this last time I did not get that message, which confused me, too. I never actually went into the house before, so you'd think that message would have popped up!
edited to shamefully add: okay, I must have gone into the house in order to put a family in there, right? Well, I didn't, which means it can only be a (gulp!) downloaded occupied house from long ago. I have honestly never played this family.

Hey, Brynne - it's only a game, and we all make (gulp too, lol) foolish actions - that's how we learn (adding the ripped lips too)...:).

I am making that my daily mantra. "It's only a game. It's only a game. It's only a game."

Words of encouragement: I've had similar things happen before I knew lotbinning was the seventh deadly sin. I got multiple files. I deleted them. I'm still playing the original haracters with no problems. Just take care you get the file numbers correct. My game may eventually disappear into a gfbvfos, but it may well have done that anyway even if I'd played correctly from the word go - at least so I understand.
One thing I don't have in my game is any CAS ghosts, in fact any ghosts of sims that were alive when I first started to play this version of Pleasant View. I think ghosts are the problem! They do seem to wander from lot to lot!

Anyhew, just so's I know, where exactly was this lot that you found hiding in a mountain, just so that I don't repeat this error by accident myself. lol
Val did the terrain surgery and one of her houses ended up in a mountain. Many others were lost at sea if I remember correctly (although she forgot to do a screenshot...ahem). When you do the surgery, the houses will be scattered all over the place and you have to manually move them so they sit on a road-side. AncientSim's houses were all invisible after the surgery, and Ancient had to mouse over the new terrain to find them, but I think that was so because something was done/left undone before surgery.
