Former Residential Rental won't commit to new Residential lot type
NOTE: Console Player - Xbox Series X
I bulldozed the Sungai Point (For Rent/Tomorang/Residential Rental lot type) structure and changed the lot type to residential so that another sim could purchase and move to the lot. There were no tenants in the building; both the game delivered household/landlord and the related woman living downstairs have been long dead. After doing so, the lot displayed as empty from Manage Worlds and I was able to successfully purchase it as a new household. However, after moving my sims in and tossing their things on the lot, I returned to find a completely empty lot the next time I loaded into the game. My household was still on site, but failed to display until I returned to build/buy and altered the lot from Residential Rental to Residential. When I did so, the structure suddenly re-appeared but none of the things I threw on the walls/floor existed anymore, their household inventory was also empty. I was able to roll back the save to before they moved and am avoiding the Sungai Point lot for the time being. I found several threads from two years ago, about similar issues, and all of the linked threads lead to now-dead pages. I believe there is an issue with re-categorizing residential rentals.
