[BH] Can't select lot for small business

I bought a new lot for my small business. Registered the business, built and set it up, even hired employees and ran it, successfully, for a day. It will not let me assign it to the lot it is on. It will only let me choose a lot in the Nordhaven world that her previous business was on.

She owned a pottery business in the new world and then sold it to buy an Art business in Windenburg. She can not assign the Art business to any lot other than the one that the pottery business is on. 

I play on XBOX series X.

    I commented on that one too, it was an empty residential lot and when I placed the small business/built-it I changed the lot type to Small Business venue. It let me open it while I was there but after I went home and came back it wouldn't open again because of it not being assigned to a lot. I was able to fix it by buying the lot again then the small business panel. However I had already paid for the lot and business in full once already, so I had to cheat the money back.

    To be clear she owned it as an empty small business lot. After placing a lot from the gallery and setting up/renovating to match my business it wouldn't allow me to assign it to the lot I owned. I had to buy it again for it work.

    There's currently a few similar issues and it's a bit hard to tell if they are connected or the same or completely different.

    I dont have any from the specific issue I described. Here is one from her husband's business with some issue but it's not the same. 

    The issue I described it was in this same menu but the lot she was on wasn't listed to choose from. I had to buy it a 2nd time for it to work.

    Having this same issue. I haven't started playing the business at all. First I bought the empty park lot [Small Business VENUE] in Nordhaven, then registered a small business. Then I bulldozed the empty lot and made a building there, assigned the rooms and furnished. 

    When I open the business panel it only has the Sim's HOUSE listed as [Small Business Residential], and the [Small Business VENUE] that I bought was no longer listed. I went to the lot and it says no business assigned. I read in here that you'd have to re-sell then buy it again but the lot costs quite a fortune now that it's a full-fledged building. Help? 😕
