Cant bulldoze unowned lot because I don't own it

Hi Haunted-Honey297 to be sure, you're doing this by going to build mode from the map and not with a Sim visiting another lot ?

I am doing this though build mode from the map (with no sims at all in the save. so not visiting in any way)

was able to grab a screenshot of what comes up for about 1 second

Haunted-Honey297 Did you test this on a new save too ? I take it it happens to any lot type ?

sorry for late reply yes tested with other lot types and saves (fresh new save but also an older save file)

and it happens everywhere ?

If so, please try the following

• Close the game
• Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
• Repair the game
• Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
• Start a new save game
• Check if you still have the error
• Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

sorry again for such a late reply. tested and sadly still broken

No idea what's going on in your game then. 

It's working fine for me but maybe there's other having the same problem that can chime in.
