And if you like some home design you have made and are afraid to lose it you can always save a mapshot from it: Press '+' and a map image of your entire house will be saved in the game directory.
Really? I did not know. Happy happy joy joy!

I'm going to post a Castlecraft link to my house in order to let you feel my loss - my bleeding mental wound! I'll reveal my house, but maybe something good will come of it. It'll force me to come up with new ideas - and that's always nice. Don't want to get stuck now, do we?

Hey! At least you died at the hands of your one true love, and not some shitty neighbor. There's a silver lining to be found in any situation. 
On a more serious note, I feel for you. This is the core of the game, though - and it's a tough concept to accept. Once you do, you will love it - even the dying from mistakes part. It kicks you in the nuts, but you learn. Believe me - I've died more in my own houses than in others. Don't give up, man! We need you(r cash)!

Thank for the info MMaster. There are abolutely no hard feelings here. I know the industry and couldn't hold a grudge for bugs to save my life.
I'll probably need only a few hours to get the urge to play again, but damn... Minutes before it happened, I thought to myself: "Jeebus, what a house! I wonder what kind of beatings it will take.". You probably know the feeling. My first all steel house with so many snags and double bluffs it made my mother in law look merciful in comparison.

Thanks! It might very well have said "house check-in failed". I was on high WTF?!-mode, and could easily have misread it.

Hi everyone, and sorry if this is an old topic. I searched but couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
Before I describe my problem I just want to say that I enjoy this game immensely. I'm a wife killing coward, but that's my style - in the game, not for real! O.o
Now, to my problem.
I had built myself a house as close to perfection as I can with my current skillset. A few minutes ago I did a few adjustments to it, proved that I could access the safe, and went to the menu to find a victim. When I went back to my house I got "House login failed" - and now my house is completely wiped. I'm left with a clean slate.
I don't mind losing to my own errors or the relentless stream of burglars that can have the skill, tools and luck to crack my house wide open and kill my family. This though, is really sad. I'm not blaming anyone, because I understand what a masterful creation this is - by just one man, mind you. Still... Is this a thing, or am I one of few who has lost their lovely and expert killer abode this way?
Jason. If you read this (I guess you don't have time for it - but if you do), is this a known bug? I'm afraid to put effort into recreating my wonderful house, because if I risk losing it to "House login failed" I couldn't take it. Please say it's rare. I love your game too much for this to be a show stopper for me. It would kill me (but not my wife - she's starting to silently hate this game 
).
If there's any chance of a rollback, I'd nerdgasm all over the place.
Best,
Stefan
