As soon as I add railing to my stairs (and across the top step effectively creating another room) I can no longer assign as residents, public, or employees only. Spandrels also delete any room assignments

Possible causes for this
- Freezes
- Spandrels
- Railings
- Fenced Yard
As soon as the fence next to my staircase met the wall, the room was no longer public and not assignable. But if I draw all but the last piece of fence, then draw 1 tile of fence in the middle of the room and pick it up and move it to where I want it, the room stays public.
(The first time this bugged, I had to entirely delete and redraw the room to get the outline back - possibly because I had left build mode then gone back in before deleting the fence? - but the second time just hitting undo brought it back. Neither time did I bother restarting.)
I have registered my business and made all areas "residential" or "Public" excepted the fenced yard. Even when deleting the fence and making a wall, it doesn't count it as a room and doesn't give me the option.
I have tried removing the local thumb cache package, repairing the game, restarting the game, traveling to another lot and back, and going to world view and back. I have no mods.
Having a similar issue. In fact, the icon is not appearing for me at all on the build I am working on. I don't know if it's because it's 64 x 64 or the fact that it had already been flagged as residential which was also a strange thing where I could not change it to generic to see if that fixed the problem. I didn't start with a new save file, just bulldozed that lot, moved the people out and started building. I will try again tomorrow because it's bedtime but could not just sit on this one without saying something. EA Gods giveth, EA Gods taketh away. That's what it feels like 😭 🤣
I was having this problem too until I read this thread, clearing all the various cache folders and restarting the game fixed it. 😀😀😀
My particular build is exceptionally complex, multiple raised platforms and inside fences, etc, so I don't think the build impacts the issue. In retrospect what I think did it was using a previous build already set up as a business as a starting point is. 😂
I've encountered this many times on various builds. Sometimes the room doesn't have the option to be assigned despite other rooms working fine. I have not determined a cause. You can see this room is outlined in white, which should not be an option on a small business lot.
