Cannot place residential rental lots in Forgot Hollow, Strangerville and Glimmerbrook.
The option does not appear when selecting the type of land.

I've already tested without the Mods folder and this problem continues.

    @Roddyc93 I merged your post with another thread on this.

    They do work in all neighborhoods except some Sulani lots and CL/Eco Apartments so I don't know why they are not showing up for some people.

    Would either of you guys mind sending me one of their save games ?

    Make sure you do a game repair.
  • I had the same problem, but deleting the mods folder, repairing the game and starting a new save, solved it. 

  • Same here - can not build/ put rental lot types outside of Tomarang (do not have all packs).

    Still no fix for this issue?

    That is a huge downer since that was the only reason I paid for this game.

  • I am having same issue. After massive work to fix restaurants and testing some workarounds none of those affect the RENTAL issue.
    I have removed mods..cache.. renamed.. nope.
    I cannot build rental anywhere but new zone.
    I have new game clean
    New game with mods.. nope.

    Having spent hours doing some testing I have had repeatable success on a few painful fixes that work for me ( I can only say me at this time )
    For Brand New Game that has been cleaned you have to ensure the tray files are also empty.
    By cleaned I mean zero mods, cache, tray and repair.
    You can then get functioning rentals ( the service NPCs workaround is still in affect for FAME )
    ( I had done this yesterday, and still no luck.. I blame ME in maybe missing a file? But whatever it does work now ) HOWEVER.. this could be skewed by one other change since yesterday. I added Wedding Stories. The only world I did not own when For Rent was added. EXACT things I did today that fixed it;
    I removed all mods again.
    I removed all tray, cache, saves
    I ran a repair
    I restarted my PC
    Started a new game with new sim. All was good.
    Then I verified all my major game affecting mods were totally up to date.
    McCommand, Basemental ( which has a new venue list out and I feel that is very important!!! ) 
     The now out of date will for sure not work.
    If you use these types...
    AWE all good
    AEP all good
    Red Apple Net all good
    McCommand and all optionals = all good.
    WW and the club option are fine. 
    I have now on the functioning game added all mods, saves, trays back.. and it's working fine. Saves recovered also other than having to recheck options for things under basemental and mccommand. ( I did not add their previous chosen settings back in ) 
    I have no idea if simply once again cleaning then restarting machine then starting a game and adding back things after that helped..or if it's tied to having the worlds... but this fixed it for me.
    Other than the service NPC issue. I am still using the FAME workaround there.

    Hello All,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.
