[BY DESIGN] Can't Change Lot Type for Special Venues

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.51.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I don't have Get Famous or Strangerville
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Download a generic lot from the gallery, place it on San Myshuno Park 64x64
What happens when the bug occurs? Can't change lot type. "Lot Type Disabled For Special Venues"
What do you expect to see? I expect to have the option to change lot type from the drop-down.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

"Disabled for special venues" started when I d/l generic lot from the gallery, and placed on a community lot. I tried the accepted workaround, but the lot cannot be purchased either. 

  • Hi @yagwit 

    this is not a bug but by design. You can't change special lot types at all.

    It's true for all neighborhoods.

    Okay. Thank you for the speedy reply. 

  •  I downloaded two empty games on Modthesims and they have complete empty towns. The special venues are residential and I can change themto another lot type. So how was this done. I want to play in this world but i have a more than 8 person houehold, but the mod i downloaded doesn't help the extended family members recognize each other which is making me mad. there are only mother, father, husband, brother, sister. did the person esign the mod not hav uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents? the game restrictions are stressing me out.Tthere are not enough lots, can't change lots and can only have 8 people in a household.

  • Its a bug because I made it an acting theatre on Windenberg and in only happens in one game it happened in an update and I can't change it back to residential, it was originally residentilal it is residential in other games, Windenberg the island, now if thats not a major bug I don't know what else isn't

    Thats what I would like to know, so this lost is Windenberg it went residential in a new game but in my current game it won't go residential. Now I try to change the lot in the new game and it won't let me change it. I have spents 100s on this game I expect it to be fixed no bugs, no more expansions, no more packs I am not paying another cent until EA fix what they broke.

    @rowantastic There is a bug for special venues where downloading certain lots can bug out.

    This thread was specifically for the ones that were created a special venue by EA.

    I'm closing this thread for necro as it's 6 years old and was deemed as design then.

    Please create your own thread, describing exactly what you did for it to become this way and filling out the template.
