Residential lot says “No valid lots available” to open small business

I downloaded a venue from the gallery, placed it in Nordhaven, and my Sims in Del Sol purchased the venue to open a shop.

Well the shop wouldn’t open (open signs would turn green but business would say it’s closed).

So to resolve the issue, I changed the lot type to residential, moved the business owner sim in, and then tried to open the business. But now the business panel gives me an error that my business can be assigned to “0 of 0 lots” because “No valid lots available.” 

The game suggests I purchase another venue to open the business🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve tried evicting and resetting the lot in build mode, as well as selling and re-creating the business, and nothing seems to work. 

I don’t have the For Rent pack, CC, or Mods, but is this lot now permanently corrupted because I switched it from a “venue” lot to “residential” and now the game won’t fully recognize the residential status for small business purposes?

Is the team working on a fix? I see lots of people have had this issue and I don’t see any fixes that could save the functionality of the lot. 

Thank you for any help!
