Change a small business venue to a Residential Small Business

mv48123​ Thank you so much for this message!

I literally spent hours trying to find a way out of this problem… before finding your post.
I followed your steps in the correct order and it worked. Wow!

Sometimes we get really attached to our Sims and we don’t want to erase them or lose them, you know.

Anyway, thank you again! 😏

Thank you for such a clear answer to this. I want to move my home onto my business lot but can't do it without overwriting the whole lot! So back to building from scratch, please let me know if you know a workaround 

Also having this problem. First I couldn't open a business on a lot that my sim purchased because I couldn't assign the business to that lot, now I've sold the lot but can't change it to any other lot type because "small business venue" is greyed out. No one owns this lot. There is no option to sell it. No one can move into it. No one can run a business on it. What am I supposed to do now?? Is this save just completely cooked?

WAIT WHAT??? You can still own the lot, but sell the business??? If it works like that, can a household member move into the lot and create their own business in it? Like a rental????

I am having same problem as Jen when I register small business on my home lot. From the phone, computer, or ticket kiosk my sim talk in the phone then that’s it’s no menu option or nothing. When I try to register from the cash register absolutely nothing happen. But it allow me to buy a venue and run it. I just wanted to do it in my home lot and not away

Hi jenmh84 You choose residential. When you then register a business on the lot, it becomes a small business residential.

alexbuildsstuff try from the map. Click on the lot and then you should have a sell icon in the lower right corner.

My issue is that I do not have to option anywhere for small business residential, I only have small business venue

Do you mind telling me where the option is to sell the lot? I can't seem to find it.
