Click new game and the lot will be back where you deleted it from.

Some maxis builds are also automatically stored in the library when the expansion gets installed

If you deleted one of the original lots, you can get it back on your current save, it'll just take a few steps.

Start a new game with a new world, find the lot, go into build mode on that lot and save it to your library.

Then quit back to the main menu and load up your other save with the lot missing. Go into build mode on the missing lot and place it back from your library.

When a lot is part of a world created by EA/Maxis it will always be there when you start a new game.
They may not be in the library but will be where they were placed when the game was created.
Example: Catscratch Cottage is the home of Catarina Lynx and her feline friends.
How to get back a lot that originally came with the game.
Start a new game and find the lot you want.
Copy the lot to your library.
Exit to the main menu.
Go into the save you are playing and find the lot in your library to place where you want it.
It will be as originally created. If you changed it those changes will have been lost.

@IloveLondonforev There are 11 residential lots and 5 community lots in Brindleton Bay. Four of the residential lots are empty lots with no buildings. You can find a list of the names here:

 

https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Brindleton_Bay

 

None of them start with the word "paw" but there are the Brindleton Pawspital and the Salty Paws Saloon. No worries though, any of the 16 lots are easy to replace in your current game and they will definitely already be there if you start a new game. You won't need them in your Library for everything to work fine in a new game. Once you get the hang of Sims 4 you'll be changing and editing those lots all the time :D I don't think there is a single lot in all of my worlds that I have not done at least some changes to xD

@IloveLondonforev I'm sorry to hear you are leaving Sims 4, it really is a cool game. If you change your mind & come back someday, just start a new game and all of the original lots will be back to normal, so no worries about deleting anything. The only lots you need to save to your Library are the ones you build yourself.

 

Take care & hope to see you come back again :D
