Rentals saved to the gallery as residential?
Is it just me or is it impossible to save rentals with lot type rental to the gallery? They all say residential after I upload them? :(

Well they are residential. Don't think a rental needs it's own lot type or even hashtag. :smiley:
How does that make sense? They do have their own lot type now, why wouldn't we want to upload them as rentals..?
They are residential as much as apartments are. You just pay differently for them.
If I download a rental lot from the gallery marked as residential, won't I have to turn them into rental lots myself? Or will they magically pop up as rentals? And isn't it a little unintuitive if we can't even look for rentals specifically, since I myself decorate rentals in a different way than I decorate homes, and I assume others do too?
Yes, you need to change the lot type to rental. I don't know about decorating, rentals are houses you rent for living, why would they be decorated differently? You don't get any different functionality from them. I make mine very basic, like hotel rooms, so they fit with any sim that rents the place.
Not all houses on the gallery are basic. Some have kids' rooms with tons of toys, and that's not what you usually see in a rental house. Sometimes residential homes just have more character, they can be done with a specific family in mind (that's what I usually do too).
And even if a house is basic, for example, 4 bedroom house on the gallery usually means 2-3 kids bedrooms. Residential homes are more family-oriented, and what I would expect from a rental property is more generic bedrooms, maybe even with double beds only.
