Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91.205.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Werewolves.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I moved my Sim family into a lot that was marked as a residential lot (it was a renovation of a rental but on the gallery it was set as residential lot and when I placed it, I checked that it was a residential lot). When I was newly moved in, going into Build Mode did not allow me to purchase anything (it kept saying "Insufficient funds"). The UI item for the money was overlayed with a cash register icon and the number 0. I saw in the lot settings that it was marked as a rental and I was unable to change the lot type due to the lot being occupied. I went to Manage Worlds and tried to move the household out, but clicking on the now marked as a rental lot did not give me the option to evict and when I entered the lot via "build mode", the UI was bugged (see screenshots). The calendar shows the work schedules of the Sims that live on that lot. When I attempted to exit the lot, the screen went black and nothing happened. I had to force quit the game through Task Manager.
What happens when the bug occurs? See above.
What do you expect to see? N/A

Does it say disabled for special venues like this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-Residential-lot-becomes-unchangeable-rental-lot/td-p/10238342?attachment-id=500466
or is it more like this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Placing-any-residential-lot-on-a-rental-lot-breaks-the-lot/td-p/10059061 ?

Hello @crinrict
Thank you for the response. The issue is what is described in the second link. I should have mentioned in my first post - I was placing a residential lot from the gallery onto an existing rental lot in Mt Komorebi.
I attempted again with a different residential build and had the same outcome. However this time I moved the family to another lot using the phone menu instead of going into the world view and trying to evict them. I went into the world view and the problem lot was now showing as a rental.
I went into build mode of the lot, changed the venue type from rental to residential. I moved the family back in and it seems to be fine now.
