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...
Oh I was doing it from manage world. Weird you can’t do it from manage world. @simsplayer818 i am currently not using mods or CC.

Yeah, it's weird.
My main guess is that it has to do with how the business property purchasing system is done. While yes, it's less of a purchase and more of a lot type change, I'm guessing it's to make sure that sims living in the current lot become its owner. Otherwise, the other household may become its owner for some reason.
But it's just a guess, so I might be wrong here.
- @Gloxinia19 I can do it from manage worlds as long as the lot is vacant and then I return my Sim to it as the landlord. I just move them out briefly first.
It is a good pack but it has it's issues! I've had some bugs fixed but hadn't noticed this issue until now because of the way I was already doing it.
