Townies Own Businesses?

I recently decided to reset my game files and have started a new save, in which I have one playable sim in the file, in Willow Creek; however I've noticed that two of the community lots I placed in Newcrest now have Townie owners. Since when have townies been able to own my community lots? One is a restaurant and the other is a gym, I've double checked in build mode and they are set as the right lot type and not Residential; I have no mods or cc whatsoever. Is this a new/old feature that I've missed? Was it introduced with Seaons? I have never seen this before!

    Apologies for the bump, just wanted to add that I've tried both lots several times and they do function normally as comunity lots. If no one else has had this happen, is this a bug/glitch with my game? I'll try deleting caches and reparing the game, as well as trying another save file to see if it happens again. If it is a bug/glitch, it's not one I'm overly bothered about since it doesn't seem to have any impact on my gameplay. :smile:

    @TheStarHermit - This is happening in one of my Saves as well. It seems like a bug/glitch. But to your point, it's not affecting gameplay, so I wouldn't worry too much. But thanks for creating this thread. I thought this was happening just in my game.

    I think it's a feature. I noticed townies are now able to rent lots in granite falls too, since JA I think.

    Hey folks, if you're having this issue too could you check out this Bug Report thread on AHQ (same thread that @crinrict linked above) and add your comments?

    The Help Center is now hosted on AHQ and EA_Mage explained it best:
