What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Batuu
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I go into World View in San Myshuno to try and change the penthouse to a vacation rental. The option to change the lot type is grayed out with a message saying "disabled for special venues". I know we can't make a regular apartment a rental but I thought you could with a penthouse.
What happens when the bug occurs? The lot type is grayed out with a message saying "disabled for special venues"
What do you expect to see? The option to make the penthouse into a rental property.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? November patch/Snowy Escape 

‌

...

ETA:  In a brand new save (also with no mods), I have the options of Residential or Tiny Home Residential only.

Hi @kc922 

you mean the 1 Torendi Tower Penthouse or the Start Gazer Lounge right ? 

I have no issues turning it in a rental

If you only have these two options, something strange is going on in your game.

Did you delete localthumbcache file after removing mods ?

    @crinrictThanks, I haven't tried the Star Gazers Lounge but yes, Torendi Tower. When I use the EA build, I get the options above. If I use one from the gallery-even though the options to place are either Residential (gallery) or Penthouse (lot), no matter which I choose, it stays a Penthouse special lot and I have no options to change the lot type.

    I've deleted the thumbnailcache, resource.cfg, cache folder, cachestr folder and the onlinethumbnailcache folder.  I've even repaired the game.

      @kc922 Could be a problem with the lot you downloaded. Which one have you tried ? There's no rental or penthouse category in the gallery, at least not as far as I can see.

        @crinrict I believe it's called the Gucci Penthouse 1.
