When you place a lot in edit world there is now an option to keep it as the existing lot type in your world (i.e. residential), or to keep the lot type that the lot is (i.e. restaurant). You have to choose this option, if you just click yes it will keep it the same as it is in your world.
This isn't a bug but a change that came with a patch.

Ahhhh, @Coley666 , I must not have placed anything form the Gallery > My Library since this change, but yes, I see it also.

@litote When you go to place the lot you should now see a pop-up like the one below. Perhaps you have not noticed this either and just clicked the arrow to okay the placement. Unfortunately, though, if you do that the new lot will take on the Venue Type/Lot Type that the lot already had.

Example... In this case the current lot type is 'Residential', and unless I select 'Restaurant' for the lot type when I place it, it will take on the 'Residential' Lot/Venue type.

Thanks for pointing that out, Coley666 🙌

Thank you both! I was really dreading having to redo all the menus and costuming. I actually had taken a break, because I was so sad I couldn't use my pizzeria. :-(
I am very happy to have this game back lol
