Seem to be unable to assign rooms as public, residential or employees only
I’m not sure if I’m just missing some basic mechanics or experiencing a technical issue, but I don’t seem to be able to assign the rooms on my small business lot. I set the lot type to small business, I selected the briefcase icon that says small business area assignment, although it seems to have a red exclamation mark icon over it, and while I can change what color corresponds to which characteristic, I don’t seem to be able to assign any of the rooms. From what I’ve read each room should be outlined in a color but all of the lines are white and when I click on a room the options seem to be identical to when I click on a room from any other lot type.
I downloaded this build off of the gallery and added to it, so I’m not sure if the settings were locked somehow- there do seem to be a few colors that have little lock icons on them that say the color is being used for another area. But strangely they’re both dark blue, and they don’t seem to correspond to any of the room assignments. I’m not sure that’s even the issue because when I downloaded it the lot had defaulted to residential, and even the pre-built rooms are outlined in white, so I’m very confused.
Can someone help me understand what I’m missing?
I already responded to this and explained what the issue was, but my reply has disappeared. Odd. But I see new interest in the issue so I’m going to take the trouble write it out again.
The problem was me assigning the lot as a small business lot instead of residential. Small business lots don’t have assigned rooms because you can’t live in them. In order to be able to assign the rooms you have to select the residential lot type, assign at least one sim to the lot, go into live mode and then have them click on a ticket kiosk and select register small business. After that you go back into build mode and you will be able to assign the rooms. In my case the selections that the original builder had made were still active once I did this, so I only had to assign the new rooms I added to the build.
Hope this helps!
