Community Spaces Won't Stay Assigned As A Marketplace/Garden/Maker Space

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? 1.81.72-1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except the following: The Sims Bite the Dust Kit, The Incheon Kit, Street Fashion Kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build a lot as a community space & then change it to a different type of community space, such as a market place. Save it, exit. When you go back into that lot, it will not be a market place, instead it reverts back into a community space.
What happens when the bug occurs? Lots do not stay a community place subtype.
What do you expect to see? I except lots to say the type I assigned to them.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Hello! I’ve spent time building a "market" (subcategory of community space) where a "community space" was. My problem is that when I come back to the world, my build doesn’t show. It isn’t lost though, I can still find it by going to construction mode and clicking on "market" once again. but it stays, by default, a general community space. I am trying to build a market in Magnolia Promenade.  How can I change that?

This problem persists even if I remove my mods & custom content.

  • @Dreamspinner3 AFAIR you need to vote for it to change to another type. You can't change the type that's active in build mode.

    Vote on the community board for the type you want then get NPCs to vote for that as well. Your Sim needs to be living in the neighborhood the community space is in otherwise they won't be allowed to vote.
  • How can that be when I built the lot brand new from scratch?  I set it up as a marketplace, but it reverts to a community lot as soon as I exit the lot, even in build mode.

    @Dreamspinner3 Cause that's the standard it's currently on. Did you try voting ? You might be able to cheat changing it by entering testingcheats and then shift-click on the community board but I think you still need to play a family that lives there.

    This tells you which of the choices is currently active

    So even if you edit the community garden/Marketplace/Maker Space, the community space is still active.

    On the board you can change the active space project to whatever you want by voting

    Or you can cheat and enact it that way

    After that it will change to your edit space.
