Okay, I get that now. But how was I supposed to know I had to search for blue lots to get the answer?

In any case, thanks for clarifying. I thought my game was doomed. Sorry for making a redundant thread.

Sorry, but doing a search of "disappearing lots" brings up nothing. I didn't realize it was called the blue lot problem.

And I read the FAQ. Which tells me nothing.

So, this phenomenon has happened twice, on two different save games. It happens after playing two or three times (after maybe spending 6 hours total re-modeling lots and whatnot).

And here it is:

lolwut?

A majority of the lots have become gaping holes in the terrain. It's not the floating terrain problem other people are having, because the terrain is still in place, and the lots are just GONE. The last time I saved, everything was normal. Then I reload the game and this happens, every time. I'm patched to version 1.7.

Help?
