Same problem. Suddenly mid-construction of the first unit, I wanted to shift a room a few spaces over to make room for stairs, and I was told I couldn't change it. Had to switch Lot Type back to Residential to continue building. Then I'll switch back when I'm finished. This shouldn't be necessary. The property owner should be able to build as necessary, at least until there are one or more tenants. I was building on an empty lot and there were no other units yet. I hadn't even finished building the shell of the first one because I hadn't finalized the layout yet.
@iamsweetmystery @CristalViper @SpacemanBones Just confirming some details here. Does this occur without anything in Mods? And there are no tenants?
@luthienrising - You can't mod on PS4. And this was when I was first starting to build the first unit. I wanted to shift the 4th room to make room for stairs. It wouldn't let me. Only 4 empty rooms had been built. Not even wallpaper, flooring or doors. I was still figuring out the layout I wanted. Just the single owner living there. Nothing built for a tenant to rent. Not even any living space for the owner Sim at that point. I've finished the build, but I had to do it by changing the lot to Residential, completing the build, then changing back to Residential Rental and assigning the units.
@iamsweetmystery It seems like the options you get vary depending on whether anyone lives there or not. For buying a property, I suspect it's best to do all the editing before moving a landlord in. (A lot of us are still figuring the ins and outs of the system out!)
