@Jennago Did you download any lots from the gallery ?

Is your Sim on the lot you want to change ?

Do you have the issue with just one lot or multiple ?

@Jennago Did you download any lots from the gallery ?

 

- No , this is an original property in willow creek that I have built on to since I starting playing a few years ago

Is your Sim on the lot you want to change ?

 

- Originally yes, when I went into the property the family was there but the house was missing. From the map it only had options for retail. As soon as I entered the property it gave me a summary of the business which has not happened before (they own a retail lot on a different map).  Their residential lot only had the option to sell as a retail lot so I did that. The family then disappeared from the lot and when I went into build on the lot (to change the lot type), it gave me the 801 error or just loads indefinitely. 


Do you have the issue with just one lot or multiple ?

 

- so far it seems to be this lot only.

@westsidepumpkin at what point did you remove your mods ? Does it say the lot type is a bar if you go to build mode ?

I removed my mods and then tried placing the lot from my library and the same thing occurred as when I had my mods in the game.  I use mods typically and keep them in-game except when updating and waiting to see if my mods are safe after game updates.  The lot type is a bar in build mode.
