Fixed an issue in which the message “Not Expanded to Ops” would appear while in Build Mode and would hinder gameplay. If this is the behavior with “Not Expanded to Ops” I don’t want to see what “Expanded to Ops” looks like, unless it is a good thing, but let’s not get carried away.
Fixed in Patch 1.67.45/ 1.32
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Post which apartment you have the issue in if it still occurs for you
Good Luck

When attempting to renovate 702 ZenView and VIII Landgraab Apartments deleting an interior wall returns a "Not expanded to Ops" error, and the wall remains, then the game acts as though there is nothing there to delete. Bulldozing these lots also causes the game to hang and requires a task-manager assisted exit.
The penthouse apartments are unaffected, as are the rest of the apartments in San Myshuno and all other lots appear unaffected. It happens both with a sim on the lot and just in map edit mode. It seems to affect all saves however.
Screenshot attached of the offending error, with a testing sim on the 702 ZenView lot.
Is there something specific that is causing this? My game is up to date. I have tried lowering settings, repairing game files and even reinstalling the game completely, but I haven't had much success with that. I am not running any mods, my computer meets the specifications required to run the game.

I'm able to demolish but not build walls on VIII Landgraab, also receiving the same error. Putting a big hamper on my base save file renovation.

Placing rooms in an apartment has never been a problem for me? but even if placing rooms that touch the exterior is something I can't do when I try to build walls or place anything inside the apartment the not expanded to ops error pops up?

Let me check my game then
I never build (can't you tell) so, not sure what's going on.
Good Luck

IX Landgraab was the one first saw the issue after bulldozing if you want to try that one

OK. Getting that error too.
I will forward this to our build specialist. She's a bit busy right now but hope she can get back to you asap
I'll change your title a bit to reflect the error
EDIT: Interesting enough, when I get the error, I can expand one of the other sides and then it works with the one that was giving me the error.
Merged your post to this bug report here.
Does anyone get the error on single level apartments ?
Good Luck

Thank You! for a good minute I thought I was doing something wrong. Also, I don't receive the error on single level apartments.
