Hi@Luxana49,
There's two posts from other members of workarounds they've done that helped them with this:
1) Source: "how do i change the lot type in sims 4 after the update last week?"
@TheotherKPOPERwrote:What you need to do is click on the lot you wanna use, and click 'Build Mode'. Then on the top left hand corner, there will be a bit which says 'i' and click on that. Then click on the lot type (where it says 'Residential') and then you can change it. The game will give you a checklist of items which you need to fully make it, I've done it before and made a pool myself, which attracted many sims!
Happy simming!
2) Source: "Can't change lot type"
@ju1kawrote:Walkaround method:
1. Load up any household and have them buy the problem lot.
2. Upon buying you will be then transported to the lot. It shall be set to Retail no matter what it was beforehand.
3. Buying it as Retail fixes the Generic issue but you will not be able to change the lot type while you own it (similarly how you can't change the lot type of a residential house with sims actively living on it)
4. Sell the lot on behalf of your household. This will then enable the lot type changing.
Could you give those steps a go and see if they help you change your lot type?
