Placing residential over community lot doesn't change lot type properly

Could you give some more details ?

Can you not change any lot types on any lot or just specific ones or specific lots ?

Also are you using any mods/cc ?

no mods, what is happening is even when you select the correct lot type when placing a lot from gallery it is defaulting back to whatever was there before. 

Does this happen on every lot you try ? Could you test a new save game as well to see if the same happens.

Yeah so far it has happened on multiple saves if you place a lot over an existing lot from the gallery.

There are a few lot types that give issues.

Which ones did you try (From and To) ?

from park to any kind of residential lot and from  library into every kind of residential lot are the ones I remember specifically. I haven't placed lots on occupied lots since I made this post originally because I was annoyed. started a new save and put things in newcrest.

Is this what you are seeing: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/SE-Placing-residential-over-Onsen-lot-shows-as-residential-on/m-p/13840790 but for all lot types and not just the onsen ?

Does it work for you if you place a commercial lot on residential ?

I had this happen today. I placed a residential lot over a museum and moved a sim there and then the lot reverted back to museum and was very buggy. I managed to move the sim into a different house and then changed the museum to residential. The bug hasn't reoccured, but it gave me quite a scare.

If I place a cemetery lot and then replace the lot with a residential lot, it will still load as a cemetery after I move in a family. I've run into this bug twice. Once in Ravenwood on the Hay Hill Landing lot and once in Newcrest on the Civic Cliffs lot.

To replicate:

Step 1: Place cemetery lot

Step 2: Replace with residential lot. Make sure it is set as residental.

Step 3: Move in family

When loading into the lot there will be NPC sims and a cemetery caretaker loaded in. The lot will be set as a cemetery even though a family lives there. When going back to Manage Worlds the only option for the lot is to "sell business". Then you can go into build mode and reset the lot to residential. The family will still be living there.
