Autosave never did its thing while you were in build mode. It wouldn't have helped you unless it was rewritten as a timed not event-driven autosave.

op, after you've created a floor plan you have to save a copy in your tray folder; you can't just rely on autosave, if the game crashed you can still find your initial floor plan in the folder at least you don't have to start from scratch again.
The entire save thing is totally messed up ever since a few patches ago. Now if I name a new save it totally vanishes. It continues to merge on the last named save I have which ironically is named "Stop renaming" I am scared to start a new slot so I can play a new household because chances are it'll write over my original one. Not good at all. They had absolutely NO reason to mess around with saves. Yeah, icons are cute, but who gives a fig if the rest is totally whacked??? Like I said I'm terrified to do a new slow and forever have to keep this present one by just "saving" instead of making it named. I just hope nothing seriously goes wrong with this slot because if I have to go back to the previous one I'll be losings tons of hours of playtime as a result.
Each time you leave a lot (Manage the world), Autosave saved the game.
I visited 6 lots, Autosave would save it 6 times, it's enough for me.
I see no reason to save Live Mode and ignore Build Mode, it wouldn't be smart.
I've always said that the autosave system was poorly designed and led people to assume their game was being regularly saved. That was never the case.
It also drives me batty that I can't save during CAS at all. I have to leave CAS to save.

I sympathize and frankly it's why I tend to save very frequently in games, with iterative saving (1,2,3,4). It ends up creating a lot of clutter, but every once in a while, it proves useful. IME, it's just good practice to not rely on or trust an autosave feature.
I remember one time I was writing a thing in MS Word and of all things, the power went out. So I lost most of it. And it had an autosave, I'm pretty sure, but it either hadn't done a save recently enough or the data might have been corrupted from the computer being switched off in an instant like that. Either way, autosave just isn't going to anticipate some scenarios.

Even if it doesn't work how it should be, in my case it was always very useful.

The Sims 2 autosave was good, just it overwrote the unique savegame.
