@crazylilly41090 Did it work when you clicked sell in manage worlds because i have the same problem and im looking for a way around it until it gets fixed.

@Sketch793 There does seem to be a bug.

It's similar to this one: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Residential-lots-turning-into-other-lots-types/td-... which also affects console players.

@Sims_Lover14333 Can you send me your save too ? For dorms it's potentially more complicated.

@Jeanieraiy Checked your save and the only solution I found is to evict the Sim from the uni housing. After that the lot is normal again. You will need to move into off-campus housing for the rest of the termn.

I did not test if the bug comes back if someone moves back in on the next term but I think it should be fine.

Can you evict students stuck in limbo? the 2nd save.

This pack is so buggy, sigh.

Thanks for trying to fix it

@Jeanieraiy I tried for both saves. Do it from the map. Click on the house they live in on the map, then go go the lower right corner, click on the three dots, then choose evict

I am on PC but I dont know how to send a saved game so I did make screenschots I hope this is the right stuff to send.

I had the same thing happen in one of my files. I play on PC. I have several save files, I will open my game later to check if it happens in every one of them.

The one it happened in, it was Saphire Shores, the 50x50 lot in Sulani. Previously I put a Spa on it, bulldozed that and turned it into residential, built a normal house. Moved a sim in there to playtest and after the update the house was recognized as a spa. I had to "sell the business" before I could turn it into residential again.

To solve this issue, do the following

For Uni Housing

• Select the house from the map and click on the three dots
• Choose: Evict Household
• Go to household manager and move them into a house (you can't move them back to uni housing until the next term)
• Uni housing should be back to normal

For Houses

• Enter the lot in build mode and make sure you see the weirdness
• Go back to the map, the lot will now show with a different icon.
• Select the house from the map and click on the three dots
• Choose: Sell business
• Go back to the lot in build mode
• Change lot type to residential.
• All should be back to normal

As an alternative to selling the business, you can also just move the Sims out via phone or household manager)

I'm having this issue too, are people able to confirm that this only happens in lots that have previously been another lot type (I know that's the case with mine)? Many thanks for the workaround @crinrict  but I'd prefer to stay away from playing some houses that are likely to get this bug until there's a proper fix.
