Placing lots in Newcrest

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except for Island Living, Laundry Stuff, My First Pet Stuff and Toddler Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to the Newcrest map and place houses on each of the lots. Doesn't matter if these are venues, residential or whatever. Just grab a lot from either the gallery or from your own personal tray and place the lot using the Manage Worlds view.
What happens when the bug occurs? Once you have finished placing lots, enter a household in any neighbourhood you are playing in play mode and try to edit their lot. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXITED THE GAME AND RESTARTED it will be impossible to enter buy/build mode. If you go into the manage world view and try to edit the lot, a broken room view window appears stating its for a room 999,999,999 simoleons is available with the name Signature Queen Anne Livingroom. If you go back into your saved game after this appears, you can then edit your lot.
What do you expect to see? I would like to actually edit the lot I am playing without going through a lot of nonsense to clear this error. This problem occurs regardless of playing a game with or without mods, on a new save or on an existing save. If any attempt is made to edit a lot in play mode immediately after filling all the Newcrest lots, this problem occurs. This has been tested on and occured on two different computers, one a first gen i5 with 6 GB ram and GTX 750 1 GB card, the second a Ryzen 7 2700 with an AMD RX 580X 8 GB video card and a reinstalled game. The lot below picked was the one I was playing but it really makes no difference as to the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

It also makes no difference with or without MODS and has happened since the introduction of Newcrest, I just hadn't posted about it as I thought by now somebody on the design team would have caught it.
