Re: [ARCHIVED] Lot Types Change/ Business Funds for residential housing

I had something similar happen after the June 3/20 update, though in my case my residential lot changed to university housing (the lot was originally a university housing lot, but I had changed it a while back).  It still showed as a residential lot when I first loaded the save, but as soon as I did anything in the save (loaded the household on the lot or loaded a different household) the lot type switched to university housing. 

The work around I did was to exit without saving, then as soon as I loaded the save again I moved the household out of the lot (to another empty lot) from map view.  Once I had done that, the lot switched back to university housing (incomplete of course because it had a stove and bbq); I then went in and changed it back to residential and moved the family back in and everything appears to be back to normal now. So far I've only experienced this in one save, even though I have a few saves where I've converted university housing in Britechester to residential lots that i now have my sims living in. 

Best regards,
Jennifer

    If you can use cheats I fixed it by using bb.enablefreebuild because I too had already saved and when I sold my "business" it deleted my Sims.

    The Lot I played on I don't believe was another type, but it was in Newcrest.

    This happened after the latest update, no issues before.
