I've always had to move out my Sim. I can change lot traits but not types.
No mods, no cheats, PC.
I went to check it out. I could change it to residential rental, but only if I entered the build mode from the live mode at my sim's home, not when entering it from the Manage Worlds.
In fact, the tooltip should also say so:
At my sim's home, it looks like this:
So yeah, I'm guessing that the issue described should not be normal.
My only suggestion here is to repair the game. Though the expansion pack is buggy after all...
@EgonVMThat's interesting, thanks for checking. I've tested both ways and neither works on Xbox Series X. Good to know moving forward that it may be possible for some but not others. Hadn't thought of it as being unusual since I've never been able to change an occupied lot to a business.
For Rent has a known bug with editing owned/occupied rental properties too so I find it is generally easier to move the Sim out. I wonder if this issue is connected. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
We don't have game repairs on console but we have troubleshooting steps/data resetting steps that haven't made a difference to this. It's certainly a buggy pack indeed.
