Saved retail stores on lot and library after creation

Ive cleared my cache and 100 different things since my ongoing issues with the game.. A while back I saved the  pre built retail stores on the lot and in the library. Is there any way to undo this to where I never bought or changed them? Using xbox 1

    @ellenmarie2129  The library won't be default in a new game. You have to go to each lot you want as default in the New Save and upload those lots to the library. Then they will be default again. The library carries over from save to save, so anything there will stay the same. You have to get the new buildings from the new save and put them in your library again.

    Edit: I am unsure how to restore a library only lot if you overwrote it. If you remove the pack the store was attached to, then redownload the pack again it should give you a default building again, but again you'd have to test it out.

    Worst case would be to delete the library and probably the game and xpacs from your console and redownload them. This seems extreme though for one lot.

    @ellenmarie2129  If I am understanding correctly, you changed all the prebuilt lots and now want them back?

    There are some of the default buildings in the library however, if you have saved over them, you will need to start up a new game and then save the unmodified buildings in the new game to the library. You can then place the unmodified buildings down on the lots in your original game.

    That's what i don't understand. I did start a new game. I didn't have my old sims but still had the jacked up stores i made. I wouldn't begin to know how to do it on Xbox one. I must have googled for hours . the only option i had when i tried everything else is going to library. Delete it or place it. I wondered if u deleted it if the default 1 would come back but im too paranoid. Lol. It's mainly sinister clothing

    I just realized i believe that retail store is the only one that didnt go back to default. The other 2 in library did
