I recently lost my game due to a huge and unknown error. EA's suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall everything. I've done that and the error remains, so I'm left to start over. I always purchase the 64x64 lot to move my Sim onto, but on my new game I can't do this - it's only letting me choose houses.
This might be linked to the problem with my original game, so if anyone has any suggestions as to what is going on, I'd really love to hear them.

so just to confirm the empty lot is classified as residential.
after reinstall game did u return saved material?
I noticed that you couldn't move into an empty lot until one of the patches.
My main game was saved in-game. When it loads, I am taken to the edit town screen. All the houses are empty. I'm given the options to choose a household, create a household or move a household in. I obviously cannot choose a household because there aren't any, but I am unable to move anyone in either. The town just doesn't seem to have loaded properly. Nothing that I have tried has fixed it.
My current save, made only a few days ago, has broken over stray pets and pet adoptions. I got around my inability to move onto an empty lot by moving into a house and then choosing to move house once my sim got there. I had to delete lots and then add lots with the world editor before I could add anything to the town, however.
I started the game with one sim and one cat. I adopted a horse. Then I bought a horse. Then I adopted a wild horse. I tried to breed two of my horses and was not able to do so - the horse just continued to have the "give birth" action without ever actually producing a foal, but adding a phantom foal to my household every time. Luckily I was able to reload as I had not saved it during her pregnancy.
I then tried to adopt another horse. The horse arrived with a different name to the horse I adopted - it actually has a random sim name attached to it every time I reload - even though the household swears it has the name I adopted it with. It is never actually added to the household, it just stands around outside for a bit, wanders off and then disappears. Meanwhile the game swears blind that I have the horse in my household. Sim icons on the left are not showing, so I am unable to select any of my other sims. These eventually do seem to come back, apparently at random, but the phantom horse is not among them. I can reset the sim who drops the adopted horse off, and that gets rid of that so I am able to go to edit town etc. However, the horse still shows in my household when it isn't. Meanwhile, despite having stray animals all discouraged, they keep showing up outside the gates. And they don't leave. One in particular keeps finding a way to get through the locked gate, no matter how many times I dump it outside. If I tell my Sim to tell the pets to leave, all she does is pet them.
When I get to edit town, it doesn't work properly. I am unable to buy/build on any lots. All I seem to be able to do is bulldoze things. I tried to remove the phantom horse from my household by splitting the household, but was unable to do so because I need to kick a sim out with it and I only have one. When I tried to add a sim to my household purely for the purpose of evicting them with the phantom horse, the game crashed, and it crashes every time I try to do that. I cannot make any changes to my household, either from pets giving birth, getting new pets or adding sims to the household.
I have no mods and no cc. I do not want to fix this with mods, either. I took screenshots of my purchase history to show all my EA content so if anyone replies who wants that then let me know, but I only have content from EA. All of my saves seem to be breaking in different ways regarding changes to the town and household, but I have noticed one common thing so far - they are all in a very edited world. I am playing Starlight Shores, but I have added houses, shops and families from Appaloosa Plains and other expansions as well. I did notice with my latest save that the Ice Lounge has not worked properly - it doesn't have all the objects in it, and what objects are in it are plain - no ice chairs etc. I uninstalled and deleted all my content and redownloaded and installed it all but there is no change with this.
I don't understand what is going on with my town each time that causes them to break. I don't want to play without the merged towns - I like having bits from each expansion in my game. I like having the pet store and equestrian training grounds, I like having the ice lounge, I like having a bar from Late Night in there (don't remember which one). But every time I've started a new game I have changed the world in the same way and every single save since I got this laptop has broken - it's the only thing I can think of that would be doing it.
Any help or advice is much appreciated, if you can get through the long post. I have all expansions and stuff packs and it's extremely annoying to have spent money on games that just persistently do not work.
I'd be willing to try that, but I'm not sure what I'd need to move.
Then do the following to get your saved stuff into the fresh folder:
Copy the files from the Desktop My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder to the same folder in My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder
Copy the file options.ini from the Desktop My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ folder to the My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ folder. Replace the existing one.
Copy the My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves folder to the My Downloads\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ folder
In the Launcher, reinstall your Downloads.
This should be everything. Launch your game and test.
Oh, and let me know if you are missing anything. I just did the bare minimum.
can you post specs,
to post hit windows key + R enter dxdiag run report hit save all info and notepad doc will open copy/paste the whole long report here, thanks!
