Shezoe,
I think the critical point here is that when you leave the community lot and your sim IS STILL THERE, when you try to go back to that lot you enter sure enough, but only in build mode. The lot is no longer playable, only buildable.

well on this one-i can still play the community lot, cuz the sim is still there. she just never makes it home when i have her try to leave. i have to ctrl alt del to get out of the game and of course-that brings me back to where i last saved when i re-start. So i can play the community lot-just not her home lot. it sounds like if i used the crowbar-the community lot would be inaccessible, but she'd be back home?

i tried this bug out as soon as i first read about it and it happened just like had been stated. i sent a sim to work in their car, closed the business-sent the employees home, and tried to leave. she left-i stayed there. i had saved prior to doing this. i tried other stuff just to see what would happen-like summoning her to another sims house with insiminator, making her selectable, calling a taxi to go to a community lot, n then having her call a taxi to go home. when the taxi left with her-she left-i was stuck at the community lot.
By "left and you stayed there", you mean your sim was off the lot, but the game didn't leave, and you were simply stuck staring as time scrolled by? Or did the game go to build/buy only, with no live mode? That seems to be the early symptom.

i never tried the crowbar thing. i didn't want to risk making it worse. hmmmm
Well, you couldn't. Because I made the Lot Crowbar for this, and I never released this object. :P

@Pescado:
Your description matches word-for-word what happened in a business lot of mine.

[...] I was able to "exit" the lot by by using the Lot Debugger's "Reenable UI" to unjam the save/exit buttons, and thus perform a save and exit.
In the "oh-no" second following that action, I thought that maybe the Lot Debugger's "Clear Offworld Loiterers" option could somehow solve the lot's locked state. Has anyone tried using it? Upon reload, only the buy/build tools were available.

That's what happened to me. The debugger immediately sent me to the loading screen for the home lot; my sims were there as they should have been and I've not had any problems since.

I purchased a community lot and drove the entire family to the new business, and saved as soon as I reached Rank 1. I then quit the game. The next time I started playing, I clicked on the business to keep playing, but it wouldn't let me load the lot, saying something like, "This is a Community lot and you need to use the phone with your Sim to visit." I then clicked on the family's house in the neighborhood and it said they were still at the community lot. After reading about the car bug, I decided to start from scratch and recreate a new Bluewater Village.
Now I'm only using taxis to go to the community lots, and I'm occasionally getting the "owner doesn't stop whistling and won't leave the lot" bug. If I Force Error on the owner, it solves the issue, since the cab then drives home with everyone inside.
