[OPEN] Player-Created Generic Lots Not Recognized For Events

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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Vampires, Parenthood, Backyard Stuff, Kids Stuff, Outdoor Retreat, Fitness Stuff, Holiday Celebration, Spooky Stuff, Dine Out, Toddler Stuff, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Movie Hangout Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Spa Day, Get Together, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place a Generic lot in the world and plan an event that is now able to use a Generic lot. In my tests it was a wedding, for comparison.
What happens when the bug occurs? When planning a social event, I cannot have the event at any Generic lot save for the pre-existing "The Summer Home" lot.
What do you expect to see? Since the November 7th patch, weddings and the like should be able to be hold these events at Generic lots.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The November 7th patch allowed for use of Generic lots in social events.

‌

"The Summer Home" is the only Generic lot recognized across all saves. It is not Save specific. The game has been tested without Custom Content, the game has been repaired, lots have been replaced, and lot type has been changed. Nothing player-made, by me or by someone else, is recognized. Only "The Summer Home."

    I can't ever host social events at generic lots. They have to be listed as a bar, gym, pool, park, etc

    I found a Workaround... I think, it worked for me at least.


    Set the lot as something other than Generic. I used Park lot type.

    DON'T meet the Requirements

    Create an Event, the lot should show up just above "The Summer Home"

    I can verify that this workaround has worked for me as well! 

    For reference, my steps to achieving the workaround were as follows:

    1. Place a player-created lot on an empty lot. (I actually chose Summer Home because I was hoping that it would still just appear on the list, as others were reporting that it always persisted across saves despite being a residential-incomplete lot. After placing the lot on Summer Home, that lot no longer appeared on the Create an Event list.)
    2. Enter build mode on the lot you just placed, changed the lot type. (I chose Park.)
    3. kwip000 reported not needing to meet the requirements, but I edited the lot just enough to meet the park requirements and can confirm this workaround still worked.

    4. Save the lot and return to your current active household. Attempt to create the event once more. The lot should now appear in the list, grouped with the same lot types. (The Summer Home lot reappeared in my list after this point, but rather than being at the bottom, it was the second 'Park' lot listed since I changed it to a Park.)

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if I was confusing at all and I will try to clear my steps up! 

    Cheers~
