Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.133.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Vampires, Get To Work, Realm of Magic, Spooky Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open game in a different location than your family home immediately after update. Go home, then go to buy mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I return home from an outing that I was in the middle in from my last save, then go to buy mode, it says the family home I have always used is a lounge and that it is incomplete. I also cannot buy anything as it all appears in a red tinted box and says insufficient funds. My so called “business” funds which are $0 are showing overlapped with my household funds, which are more than enough to buy anything. After exiting the lot, the home now shows with the exclamation above it, as an incomplete lot.
What do you expect to see? My house remains a residential lot and I am able to buy stuff
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

I had something similar happen after the June 3/20 update, though in my case my residential lot changed to university housing (the lot was originally a university housing lot, but I had changed it a while back). It still showed as a residential lot when I first loaded the save, but as soon as I did anything in the save (loaded the household on the lot or loaded a different household) the lot type switched to university housing.
The work around I did was to exit without saving, then as soon as I loaded the save again I moved the household out of the lot (to another empty lot) from map view. Once I had done that, the lot switched back to university housing (incomplete of course because it had a stove and bbq); I then went in and changed it back to residential and moved the family back in and everything appears to be back to normal now. So far I've only experienced this in one save, even though I have a few saves where I've converted university housing in Britechester to residential lots that i now have my sims living in.
Best regards,

PC: 1.63.133.1020, no mods/cc in my game, game repaired and localthumbcache file deleted
If you can use cheats I fixed it by using bb.enablefreebuild because I too had already saved and when I sold my "business" it deleted my Sims.
The Lot I played on I don't believe was another type, but it was in Newcrest.
This happened after the latest update, no issues before.
