Lot Types revert back even after new installation

Hey! After preparing a save file where I downloaded many lots, online but also from the gallery, I run into a problem. Now whenever I place a lot from the gallery onto an existing different lot type, it reverts back to it once my sim lives there and I go to manage worlds. To visualise it better: I put a residential from the gallery over the Willow Creek Library. It looks normal and my sim can move into it. It does count as an residential. But once the sim lives in there and I click to manage worlds, the residential will get empty and is a library.
I made several new saves. Without mods. Tested it with many different residential lots. I did repair the game. I even deleted the game and just installed it again. I still have the problem. Letting the sim move out, change it back to a residential and move the sim back in fixes it but it is very annoying. Especially since it happens with every new save and every lot I tested it on so far.

    Could you please provide the following information

    • Did you never have mods/cc or remove them ? Please pick a thread tag for that.
    • Have you tried a fresh user folder yet ?
    • Does it work if you change the lot type before replacing the house ?
    • Do you have the issue with just libraries or other lot types ? There's some know issue with certain gallery types but don't think there's one for the library.

    Thanks for the reply!
    1. I had mods when I found the bug but took them out right after. Every save file after had none. Even the ones after installing the game again. Is the CC tag still needed then?
    2. I'm pretty sure I deleted every Sims related folder after uninstalling the game
    3. Just tested it. If I change, for example, the library to a residential before I put a gallery residential over it, it won't change again!
    4. I tested it with park, museum, gym, nightclub and vacation rentals!

    HI peampie​ 

    thought there were threads for specific lot types (Onsen, Wedding, etc) but seems there is a more general thread for any community lot.

    I've merged your post, make sure to vote.
