cannot apply a lot of a different venue type on owned lots from gallery (2024)

I keep getting the error "cannot apply a lot of a different venue type on owned lots" when trying to place a lot from the gallery. The lot is not marked as generic or special or locked in any way, I just can't place any lot from the gallery on to the lot that I purchased. This is beyond frustrating. I've uninstalled all CC and mods, uninstalled the game and even deleted all families I played with the CC and mods and it still will not let me place a lot for a business.

Help!

(I have tried changing the types of lot that it is to a spa but it has not worked either.)

I have all games that have been released and the most current patch.
