@Shanz0313 Could you add some pictures of the lots ?

Was this for the gigs you went to without pop-up ?

EDIT: Please use the following specific threads if you have the issues for either of these types of gig

Arcade Add-Ons (looks like ate least some of them count as room renovations for some reason)

Appartement: For obvious reasons, these don't work. Apartments need to be blacklisted.

Listing a few lots that seem to have issues (please use this thread)

Goth house addition - Can't build anywhere

Landgraab house addition - Can't build anywhere

Hecking, Photography Studio Addition - Can't build anywhere.

Spencer-Kim-Lewis lot in Willow Creek (personally had no issues adding a room there. Possibly a certain gig only)

Discotheque Pan Europa Nightclub in Windenburg

Same issue here. With the “room addition” gig I simply can’t add a room. Or build any walls for that matter. I’m pretty sure it’s just a bug in the new pack that needs to be patched.

@josha1996 Could you also post a picture of the house ? I think it depends on the house so a bit more info would be helpful

No, these were gigs that I had the pop-up appear for. Will do another room addition gig soon and take pictures. Do not have from the ones I already did

‌This happened to me just recently, on a commercial gig. I wasn't aware that it was a commercial as it said "home owner".
This was the first add a room gig I took, and am very leery of doing anymore. Recently did a renovation, where I was able to basically destroy the current lot and rebuild. This however wouldn't even let me move anything, add anything or do anything to the lot. Usually I will save the lot just before doing the gig, in case of issues I can quit without saving. I didn't try to leave and redo it that way this time though. Figured it was an issue in game.
Sadly it cost some rep for my decorator.
No mods used, so that is not to blame.
Also on a previous job, one of the clients stood on the counter....
Just moved the counter and fixed it but I have read of others having issues with clients clipping thru areas that they were unable to communicate with them.

@Toomanysimmers Was this a community space lot or which lot is this ?

Strangerville Library, the client was Jesminder Bheeda. It shows she is married, but when I was at the gig it was only her. The pictures I took for before show the lot as the strangerville information center.
Let me know if I any further questions.
