Re: Unable to load Residential Rental Properties From Gallery

@PipMenaceThat is the same issue that I am having. They are already set to residential rentals. If it is set to that in the gallery, it will not let you place them on any lot.

If it is set to residential Rental on the map or in the gallery you can not change it that I can figure out. It is grayed out and will not allow it. 

Hello,

I started a  new save, I went to the gallery and saved a res rental. I will attach the SS of it. I then went to the map, and this is what it tells you, not available for this lot. The reason is it is a residential lot. Now, if I had downloaded the same duplex, and saved it as residential, it would have changed it automatically to residential rental and worked. 

If for some reason you don't like what you have placed from the gallery when you finally figure out how to get one to be able to be placed, it then changes it to only allow for residential rentals, which is OK, then you can place a residential rental. Let's say you change your mind though and want it to be a residential and not a residential rental, there is no way to change it back. 

So the question is, how do you change a lot to what you need it to be or change what is uploaded to the gallery to what type of lot you want it to be? 

How do you fix this issue? 

Thank you,

Dee

@kxvwgy3uw5it Try this workflow:

1. If you're already in the Gallery, select to download the lot to your Library
2. Manage Worlds > Open the lot in Build/Buy
3. Change lot type to Rental Residential (top left)
4. Open the Gallery/Library from within Build/Buy and select the lot to place

I have tried that. There is no option to change it. If it is set on res rental, I can't change it to rental, if it is set on rental I can not change it to res rental. The option does not show up. 

@kxvwgy3uw5it Is this the case in all worlds? Some worlds don't support Residential Rental.

It is in all worlds for me. 

@kxvwgy3uw5it Do Sims live on that lot? If so, try moving them out first.

No, Sims do not live on the lot. I think it is just a huge mess and Sims has a lot of bugs in this pack. I hope they fix them soon. It makes it not enjoyable at all to play. 

I am very disappointed in it, to be honest. 

@kxvwgy3uw5it Can you test in a clean folder on a new save, please? Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options. Then start at New and see if you can place a Gallery rental. Look for a rental that's not enormously complicated.
