The Case of the Disappearing Downtown
vecki:
I have a strange situation. The other day I wanted to send some sims to Bernard's Botanical Dining downtown. Unfortunately that particular destination didn't appear. I've used it before with no problems, so I couldn't figure out why it wasn't there.
So last night I sat down with my downtown, and my NL Prima Guide, and had a look to see what lots were there, and which ones weren't. As a result, my downtown is looking very, very sad.
Missing Community Lots
Bernard's Botanical Dining
Deh'Javu Modern Art Museum
Fresh Rush Grocery
Go Here Sunshine Park
Gothier Green Lawns
Londoste
Lost in Love Hedge Maze
The Corner Shoppes
But that's not all! I'm also missing a bunch of residential lots from downtown.
Missing Residential Lots
103 Custer Boulevard
105 Custer Boulevard
107 Custer Boulevard
34 King Street
36 Greaves Avenue
38 Greaves Avenue
House of Fallen Trees
Now luckily none of the missing lots had sims on them, but just to be safe I've moved four households out of downtown.
Has anyone else had this happen? Any idea why this might be happening? Is it a BFBVFS waiting to happen? This only seems to have happened downtown; the base hood, uni, and bluewater seem to be ok so far.
For all I know this could have been going on pre-Pets, but its only post-Pets that I've actually noticed the problem (ie wanted to send sims to a lot that wasn't there - I don't often send sims downtown).
I'M CONFUSED! WAAAAAAH!
vecki:
Truly? Nobody else has had this problem? ???
jrd:
Not I...
J. M. Pescado:
I think this is the "orphaned lot description" effect. If your lots were formerly there but went missing, something may have mangled the lot description, resulting in the orphaned file of that lot still being there, while the lot itself is no longer physically associated to your neighborhood. If you have a backup of when that lot formerly existed, you can splice it back into being with SimPE.
Otherwise, BFBVFS.

The only time I had lots go missing was after I got OFB. A residential lot containing a home business, and a community lot with an owned business both went missing after changing uniforms for employees. The OFB patch claimed to have fixed that, and presumably did so as I have not experienced that since.
It doesn't sound like what's causing your problem, but I wanted to at least offer sympathy and share an experience.
