Unoccupied lot went poof - wtf, wtf.
philote:
I guess I will just delete the darn thing out of the Lots folder and see if that at least gives me the lot space back, unless anyone has any pointers on how to examine the house in SimPE. (I have only played around w/ Sim files previously.) It's probably not that worth it, though ;)
From now on we will be building in a dummy neighborhood for sure! Thank you for the detailed responses you guys :)
Simsample:
There have been a few indications that this could be a memory problem; a few people have reported that this happened with large/ complex lots that they had been working on for a long time without saving. Perhaps the game/ computer goofs out on saving, corrupting the lot?

This is why it is best to have a dummy neighbourhood just for creating lots, once you are done you can just put the completed lot in the lot bin, and use it for all neighbourhoods. Then if a lot screws up like you mentioned, the neighbourhood can be deleted, and a new one created, without losing any lots, or your playable 'hood. :)
Are you saying you have to delete the whole neighbourhood Emma, if one lot gets screwed like this? That sounds drastic! Doesn't deleting it out of the lotcatalog fix it? I had an NL lot in my game and don't have NL - that was another that couldn't be clicked on. I deleted it out of lotcatalog and thought no more about it.
I guess packaging versions of the house as you go might be good practice - one of them might be OK if the current version is gone.
Emma:
No cwykes, I'm just saying don't build on your playable 'hood just in case you need to delete the whole 'hood. I always package my finished lots too-just in case. Sometimes things screw up, is all :) I had a neighbourhood which I used just for building, and it suffered terrible slow-down for some reason. Because it was not my main playable 'hood, and all the lots I had built were safely packaged, I had no qualms about deleting it and starting a fresh one.
cwykes:
Thank goodness for that! Build in a separate hood just in case is a good idea.
I was suggesting packaging work-in-progress on complicated lots just in case. Not just finished lots.
