Hi !

(english 2nd language here)
I wanted to build my own resort, I had already a nice community villa that I could improve, so I put it in a empty lot, and improved it. Then I made my sim became owner of it, and I could choose to make it a resort. I did, and the front desk appeared. I just needed to put tower or the resort would close.

Then the problem appeared, I can't build or improve anything ! Just nothing. If I try to either by clicking on the lot icon or directly, the game tell me when I get back on live mode that my resort have been modified in edit town then sold for my sim, and indeed I do get back my money, all of it... (thanks I asked nothing game !)

And the resort is still here alive and well, but it is not mine anymore. Then if I try to buy a resort by the phone, it show my previous resort and empty lots, but when I choose it, nothing happen, it is still not mine...
It is driving me crazy... I tried and tried various way to do it, but the same problem arise each time. And it seem no one have that issue...

So I'm doing something wrong ? My mods are up to date, the villa is not bugged. I don't know really... If I have to build a resort from scratch on a empty lot it will be a pain... and if that the case why they give us the option to transform our property into a resort then ?

You could try changing the lot type back to residential, getting your sim to buy it like that then changing it to a resort. I haven't had that bug yet so I don't know how to help.
Have you tried the forums on the official site yet?

Hm, I didn't have that problem when it happened to me (as in, I could still buy the resort again). Maybe try saving the lot to the bin, bulldozing and then replacing it?

Actually, I did have that problem the first time I played IP. Turns out I had an old mod that I forgot to update that interfered with the purchasing of a resort. Pull out your mods and see if you can buy a resort. If you can, you know where to start looking.

Thanks you all.
TheCantankerousUnicorn : I did that as well, it is the problem I have, when I change into a resort, I can't make any change in it, if I do the game automatically sell the resort. I read and searched answer in the official forum, but there is so much messages here about bugs, I'm not sure I should post something...

Margaret Pendragon : I did that too, no luck...

eskie227 : That is my last hope I think, and I tried to launch the game with only 2 mods (mods I was sure It was ok), and the game won't launch... it's weird because it worked before.
But I will make it work somehow...and I will tell if it worked, in case others people have the problem too.

And Island Paradise (the town) make my game freeze, so I'm not sure if it's just my fault, there is a real problem with that last addon... (or the last patch, or both)
It is the first time I ask for help for a bug, usually I can solve them just fine...

Isla Paradiso also made my game freeze up a few times, and I've seen a few others say the same.

I hope you get the resort issue sorted. When it happened to me, I repurchased the resort, then clicked on the resort desk and went to Improve > Buy mode, placed one of the tower rugs, and it stayed open.

The bad thing is that I can't even bought it , and something I forgot to tell is that it in the lot type list, I guess resort should be written here normally, because when I look in edit town, it is empty for any resort... it is in fact on the list but blank.

And I tried with the 2 mods only, same problem, I just can't buy any resort...
(I guess installing the game again is an option, but I won't do it, too much pain...)

1."Reset Lot" can't help?

2. Do you check any mod conflicts yet?
Cause your 2 mods gave your game a problem too. May be it's not that safe.
Pls try playing the game with no mods at all to recheck it it works.

3. I found many threads reporting that IP gives their games a hard time. So you have so many friends in woe because of this.

Okay, so I have tried with no mods, and a new family, clean save. My sim can't buy a resort, at all. And the empty list problem is here too. So I give up, maybe there will be an update that will fix that, maybe...

little bee : Thanks for your help. I didn't tried reset lot, but the problem seem even bigger than that, it seem my whole game is bugged to the core...since that damn expansion.
Yes I'm not alone (sadly), it is reassuring that I did not break my game by myself... but buying a game, and not be able to play it because of bugs, EA really don't care right ? I'm not surprised. They are being consistent in their behavior...

Before you reinstall you could try the general buggy game problem shooting http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit..._3_Game_Problem .
