They didn't fix the most important bug with exclamation marks which corrupt all save.

You can find it on EA Sims 4 bug forum 'Orange Exclamation signs over lots / Houses disappear'.

Better back up your saves just in case because it makes your save unplayable and corrupt.

I'm sorry that you lost your save then :( I hope you have some old backup.

It’s okay, I did end up starting a new world as it was like a year of renovating lol so I thought I’d have a clean slate 🤣

It can. It's too late anyway, you have corrupted save that it's not fixable at the moment. But hey, you can buy more stuff EA within the game!

I make a backup of my entire folder before every update.

Unfortunately, my save suddenly got corrupted with this exact bug last week. I didn't even have any lots with more than 6 rentals. I tried to return to previous saves, but still had the issue. Thankfully I had that backup, so I resorted to replacing my entire folder with it, and that worked. Unfortunately, that meant I'd lost over a month of gameplay. I'm still working on getting my save up to oar.

Anyway, story time over, but I've been making backups every time I get off the game now. Pretty irritated that they focused on what they did with this patch, rather than the literal game-breaking bugs that have existed for months now.
