I recently got the white screen issue in San Sequoia after putting a couple different residential rentals in the Sam’s lot, changing them to residential and bulldozing, I call that a major game breaker. I hope the dev team can fix this one. In afraid to load properties from the gallery now.
@SheriSim57 I hope so too, but I'm afraid that they don't work on this savebreaking bug anymore. Because the "Stuck on Residential Rental"- Bug Report was closed and marked as fixed, but the fix obviously didn't truly fix it.
And one of the current Bug Reports regarding this issue https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-Corrupted-R-rental-lot-Map-doesn-t-load-anymore-White/td-p/13299392 is not even an open Bug Report anymore. It is also marked as fixed, because of a very complicated and unsatisfying Workaround on the first page like for example uninstalling For Rent to being able to access a broken world again. I mean, it's great that there is a temporary workaround for this, but the Bug should still be investigated and fixed. The workaround is not the solution for this issue.
I so want to play this game, because I love it, but lately it doesn't feel like careless and fun playing anymore. It feels like walking on a beautiful path, but instead of enjoying the view you are constantly worried to not step accidently on a dangerous mine.
The Residential Rental Bugs are causing so much trouble, even for caucious players like me who never dared to use a single Residential Rental. But the bug broke and still breakes a lot of builds from the gallery, and if downloaded they cause much trouble in your game, so a major feature like the gallery is not usable anymore if you are very attached to your save and don't want to risk it being ruined.
So, it's not just about avoiding For Rent and one is safe. No, if we really want to be safe from the For Rent Bugs, we have to avoid the gallery, specially the newer builds since For Rent came out. And THIS is really concerning and a gamebreaker for me personally. It just HAS to be adressed, prioritized and fixed.
I bought the pack in May and I started trying to replace the lots in the world, I pretty much immediately I ran into the bug which causes lots to be corrupted. So you can't replace any lots with lots from the gallery.
And since the pack is about you building residential rental lots and rent them out the pack is pretty much broken. You could maybe build your own residiential rental lots, but imagine putting in hours doing that only for the corrupted lot bug to show up anyway.
So will the pack work as long as you don’t change any lots into residential rentals? Or is it totally unplayable?
Thanks and happy simming
The rest of the pack works and it's only the residential rental lots that are bugged. I haven't played them in my game yet and didn't have any issues. The only major bug I noticed in my game was the issue of the NPCs not being generated on community lots, which I am not even sure if it was pack related or maybe due to the patch, but they have mostly fixed it.
issue of the NPCs not being generated on community lots, I’ve had that bug as far as I know it was patch related but not totally sure on that and they where meant to fix that
if you have get famous So far the only workaround is to turn off the "opt out of fame" option in the pack settings under gameplay settings and NPCs should spawn in their job roles in the meantime.
I played with about 10 residential rentals across several worlds and ended up with the white screen save breaking bug.
I started over and currently only have 1 residential rental. I just spent the last 2 months replacing all the lots with gallery lots for a new save. I was unaware of the gallery bug associated with for rent.
I am avoiding residential rentals. The one I have I have no plans to change. The save breaking bug I experienced came from changing a lot from residential rental to something else. I was able to successfully change the residential rental lots in Tomarang. I did that first and left them as residential for several weeks before changing them to a cafe and a restaurant. So far, avoiding residential rentals has been enough to save my game from further corruption, if you are planning to buy for rent my advice would be to avoid residential rentals.
It's a bummer though bc playing with residential rentals is a lot of fun.
I think that depends on your budget and patience level. If there are other packs you do not yet own I would consider purchasing a different pack. There are several threads discussing the various issue with game play in for rent, you should check those out.
I bought it, it broke my save. That being said, I don't regret buying it. I am not limited by my budget and own all the packs and am extremely patient. If I could only afford a few packs I would not pick for rent.

It’s a known bug
Happy simming everyone
It was definitely not a for rent bug because people without for rent like me had it as well. But this issue has been patched. Since the patch notes reported it as fixed, quite a while ago , I haven't run into this one anymore. I have fame turned off by default.
I am really sorry to hear about the game breaking bugs simmers have experienced. I want for rent for the world, the kettle, the BB and the hopscotch. But reading threads like this one make me scared. I think I will hold of a little longer.

In the Bug Report it says: "Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue." So they are still investigating it. Also, if they mark the bug report fixed after an update and the bug is still not fixed, just make a new bug report so they know the fix didn't work.
I'm also bummed about For Rent bugs, since I was really excited about Residential Rental feature. I would love to buy the pack and play with them but not risking my savefile. But I'm still hopefull they will sort it out at some point 🤞🏼
@SanniSilli That is good to know, thank you. So there is still hope then! I would be very, very happy if this bug would finally get fixed. And if they manage to fix the broken gallery builds caused by this bug and the the For Rent Patch, I will literally jump for joy!

When admins put important information in a bug thread, they often use a "Solution" post to do it.
That's because the Solution posts show up as post #2 by default and are easy to see.
That doesn't mean they think the bug is fixed! This is still an open bug report.

Hi @crocobaura@SamadamsPlayer This bug was fixed in patch 1.105.297/1.87 (February 2024)
I haven't seen any reports of it occurring since then
Has it happened in an updated game for you since?
because of all the bugs and glitches, they lack of gameplay and bare minimum features and small world was overshadowed. everyone was so concerned about the bugs with for rent that no one really took a close look of how bad the pack actually is . the feature of building apartments is definitely not bad but imagine charging 40$ for some system changes .
I actually have to agree. Though I think Tomorang is beautiful, it doesn't have a lot to do in it. Thinking about it as you mention - everyone, myself included, was so caught up in the bugs/corruption issue that we didn't have time to think about how this EP is the most gamiest of game packs to ever game pack. The world is the size of Tartosa, it's filled with rabbitholes, it only really came with three new small activities (hopscotch, marbles, and spirit house), and the only "expansive" thing it came with was a new lot type. I think the only reason they were able to pass it off as an EP was to claim that the new lot type system could effect the entire game since you can build them anywhere. The amount of content they've been offering in "EPs" lately has seemed to continue to get less and less, which is worrisome.

But if I read you all well the new lot type is bugged.

Yes I know! I have been playing. I actually uninstalled for months because that bug corrupted a save i worked hard to make I meant from their selling perspective as a company.

Too many bugs in this pack for me to risk my saves I really want the pack as the world and other features appeal to me
