Rentals don't work properly

I cannot make a rental property stick as a rental property and having made one in Oasis Springs it insists on reverting to residential however I try to change it. I have to change it to rental when built everytime I try something.

Also the fact that the rental keeps thinking it is a residential property has let a new family take over my holidaying Sims' home whilst they are enjoying themselves so they can't go home there.

@SimGuruNick this needs some attention Fast!

    Odd, mine are working fine. Do you use mods? Also does it do that if you try a different lot, or try it in a new save? You could also try a game repair and see if it fixes it.
  • Mine are working fine as well. I just recently turned Garliclauter Place into a rental right out of a horror movie.

    Also working fine with me. Hmm I wonder why you cannot get them to stick. Very odd.
  • I've noticed this, when you've finished the build just go onto the lot type panel and click rental again even if it already says rental and then it'll be a rental on the map. For the other part try turning off "fill empty houses" in settings and that should stop that

    I haven’t had that issue so far. Only issue I’ve encounter is when I enter CAS inside the rental (using mirror or dresser), I can’t play my sims anymore. It won’t let me click on them or control them. Their portraits are greyed out. I have to restart my game or open world edit to be able to fix it.


    Please mention both of these issues in the link below. Nick will see them there.

    I sounds mod related. I have this problem with venue mods


    I did too, until now. ???
    The latest patch fixed it for some reason.
