Houses keep changing to apartment lots
Hi there,

This is on a custom world I downloaded. Every time I load it, no matter how they were set before I saved, a specific group of residential lots will change into apartment lots.

First time it happened I just set them as houses again. Saved, opened it up the next day, apartment lots again. At first it was like maybe 3 lots I think, then at least one more (the one I liked the most) got changed too and it's now stayed with those 4 or 5. These are all lots that were already houses when I downloaded the world and I never changed them to something else. It happens every time I load the world, and it's lots that came with the world and lots that I downloaded and put in it too.

Here's what I've tried and didn't change a thing:

* Deleting cache files (I do it every other day more or less).
* Deleting the lot and placing it again.
* Saving it as apartment, loading the game, changing it to house, saving it, and loading again.
* Checked for apartment markers from buydebug. There are none, and if there are any that I didn't find, they were there before when this didn't happen. Also, other houses in the world have a few markers and don't get turned into apartment lots.
* I'd previously repackaged my NRaas mods into one file (Master Controller+Progression+Cheats, Story Progression, Traffic, Overwatch, and Error Trap), so I tried putting them again as single files again.

Things I haven't tried:

* Running the game without mods, because it loaded fine before and I had the same mods I have now. The only change was mentioned above.
* Opening the world as a new save (I'm hoping it doesn't get to that tbh, I've edited a ton of lots in it already and I don't know if copying them there won't carry the problem with them).
* Loading another already saved world to see if it happens there. I have technically loaded my other save, Isla Paradiso, but I didn't check if this had happened there. So I still count it as not trying it.
* Turning one of the lots into community lot, saving, loading, changing it to house, saving, loading again. It says some objects will disappear when I set community and I decided to avoid that if possible.

I'll add anything I remember to these lists if it comes up.

I haven't lived in the world yet. I've only edited lots but haven't lived in it with a family or anything.

Any ideas?

Hey, thanks again for helping me with my issues lol

I hadn't checked 1, so I'll check, and 2, do you know specifically which objects it will remove? I did get a prompt saying that some objects would be removed and I'd like to know beforehand to check where they are and stuff
