- I've never seen this before, so I'm not sure. But are you able to delete the house on the lot via bulldoze lot, then change the lot type? Maybe try bulldozing the lot, then restarting the game, then try to change the lot type. If the issue remains you could try a 'repair game ' in origin. Sounds like a glitch, and the 'disabled for special venues' is supposed to be for lots like The Mansion in Windenburg, which we can't change the lot type.
- You have to roll back to a previous save or use a back up save. Sorry, but this is the only solution I've gotten so far.2
- edited December 2015OK, I have done some research and this a very nasty bug. It needs killing with fire.
If this happens, then that lot is permanently bugged and forever unavailable - yep, forever.
Apparently this can happen if you place a lot directly from the gallery that is not the same as the destination lot type.
The only way to avoid it is to go into Build Mode first, change the lot type to the correct one and then place the lot from WITHIN build mode.
If it does happen and you have no earlier save then you are screwed.
Thank you MC Command Center for your autosave feature - I only lost 4 hours, otherwise I would have a lost days and days worth.Awake.

I just went back to a previous save. Thankfully it wasn't that old. I was just about to add a post with a link to your advice in another thread. I'll put it here anyway:

Thank goodness you had a pretty new save. It happened to me too and I had to go back to a back up save. I hope they fix this bug soon. >.<1 - You have to roll back to a previous save or use a back up save. Sorry, but this is the only solution I've gotten so far.

It was MC Command Center that did the backup save automatically for me. I think if I had lost this save I would have wept.Awake.

The Ghost Song - Jim Morrison - This happened to me recently, and I tried bulldozing, repairing, resetting my folder, downloading lots from the gallery, and nothing worked until I downloaded a Retail lot and placed it; for some reason that did the trick. I don't know if it would work for anyone else, but it might be worth a try if it happens again.

Ooo,I still have that save that was borked. I may try that when I get a mo'.Awake.

The Ghost Song - Jim Morrison - edited December 2015This happened to me around halloween, was trying to place Ivy's haunted house loved it but i threw a party and no one would ever leave so I tore the house down and they still wouldn't leave i couldn't change the venue on it on it no matter what. ended up have to delete the save.
- OMG is this bug still around? I thought it was fixed a long time ago. Darn it.. I guess I'll have to go back to being careful about my lots placed.
Thanks @ModerateOsprey for the prevention steps.0 - I have started rotating my save games. I am not going through that horror again when I thought I'd lost 100s of hundreds of play. I'm still angry about itAwake.

Hello @MissyRenee
The Central Park lot is classified as a “special venue “. The lot type can’t be changed. It can only be changed by using a mod.Zerbu has created a mod that will enable this to occur,

Sims 4 How To Reset Lot Type On Special Venues Near Me
The lot was empty and stuck as 'Retail' I believe, and wouldn't let me change because the venue was 'Special'. It eventually sorted itself out (not really sure what exactly fixed it) because I can now edit the type without any problems. I can move sims onto that lot but the lot is still set to 'Generic' even with sims living on it. Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu: I've made a page on The Sims 4 Star Wars Game Pack: Journey to Batuu.I've kept my opinion about the pack separate. New - Secrets I have a new guide to secrets in the game.If you prefer, you can also watch a video about secrets in Sims 4. Nifty Knitting Stuff: Learn about Nifty Knitting Stuff.Also, on that page you can find Nifty Knitting Cheats. Dec 07, 2015 Want your Sim to live at the Chalet Gardens, Ruins or Bluffs? Or set them to another type of community lot? Well, now you can! With this mod, you can change the lot type of special lots just like you could any other lot, to anything you want, including Residential. The Community Space lot is a lot where all sorts of great things happen. Sims come together and do great things if you let them, of course. The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle expansion pack brings all. Apr 02, 2015 The recent Sims 4 Patch included a brand new cheat that allows you to edit “hidden lots” such as Sylvan Glades and the Hospital from The Sims 4 Get to Work.
