Update Your Discord

Updating Discord is a quick way to fix bugs. If you encounter the black screen, checking for new Discord updates should be top on the list of your troubleshooting options.

The Sims 4 is probably the most addictive version in the entire Sims series. You can create your own virtual World and customize everything, down to the smallest detail. It’s one of the few video games that doesn’t force you to stick with the developer’s ideas but instead allows you to express yourself. You can design outstanding clothing items, mold attractive body types, or even introduce new color palettes to your neighborhood. But all that wouldn’t be possible without lots.

Although the base version of the game comes with lots dedicated as residential areas, rentals, special venues, and other amenities, you can still customize your World and change lot types to match your preferred design. You could even edit a given lot to introduce something that makes life more comfortable for your Sims.

This article will show you how to go about it.

How to Change the Lot Type in Sims 4 With a Cheat

Like any other video game, The Sims 4 comes with cheat codes that can help you enhance different aspects of your game almost instantly. You can edit buildings and reorganize your home, office, or residential areas to your liking.

The Sims 4 cheats are so good that you can edit lots that traditionally aren’t editable. That includes active dorm buildings such as The Sims 4: Discover University and active career lots like The Sims 4: Get to Work. Since your Sims spend so much time in these lots, it makes sense to make certain tweaks that improve their overall experience and make the game more exciting.

Free Build is one of the most effective cheats Sims 4 enthusiasts use to edit lots of all types. Here’s how to do it:

Part 1: Activating the Cheat

1. Launch the game and press “Ctrl + Shift + C” on your PC’s keyboard to open the cheat dialogue box. If you’re using a Mac, press “Command + Shift + C.”
   


2. Type “testingcheats true” on your keyboard to make sure that cheats are activated.
   


3. Type “bb.enablefreebuild” and then hit “Enter.”
   


4. Press “Escape” to close the dialogue box.

Part 2: Editing the Lot

Once you’ve activated the cheat, now it’s time to change the lot type. To do so,

1. Click on the lot you’d like to change.


2. Select “Build Mode.’
   


3. Click on the “i” in the top left corner.
   


4. Click on the lot type and then select its replacement.

That’s it. This should allow you to change lots and introduce the desired element in the chosen location. You can even edit hidden lots such as Sylvan Glades in Willow Creek and Forgotten Grotto in Oasis Springs.

How to Change the Lot Type in Sims 4 on Special Venues

In the base version of The Sims 4, some lots are special venues that can’t be edited. They include the following:

• Mt. Komorebi: Onsen


• San Myshuno: Myshuno Meadows


• Windenburg: The bluffs, the ruins, and the Von Haunt Estate.

To edit special venues, you need mods or cheats. Zerbu’s Change Venue mod is one of the most reliable mods for this purpose. It also allows you to add modded venues to the selector in Build mode. In addition, it can help you to introduce world-specific venues across all worlds. All you have to do is to download and install it.

To edit special venues using a cheat code, do the following:

1. Launch the game and then activate the Free Build cheat by pressing “Ctrl + Shift + C” on your PC or “Command + Shift + C” on a Mac.


2. Activate the cheat by entering “bb.enablefreebuild” in the dialogue box and then hit “Enter.”


3. Press “Escape” to close the dialogue box.


4. Click on the lot you’d like to change.


5. Select “Build Mode.’


6. Click on the “i” in the top left corner.


7. Click on the lot type and then select its replacement.

How to Change the Lot Type in Sims 4 to a Hospital

A hospital is one facility that shouldn’t miss in your Sims 4 community. Although the base version of the game comes with a hospital lot assignment, you may want to create a customized medical facility that’s probably closer to your home or active career lots.

Cheats present a quick way to change any lot to a hospital. The fans’ favorite – Free Build – can help you create a state-of-the-art facility to act as a one-stop-shop for all your Sims’ medical needs.

 However, your hospital must have at least one unit of the following items to be complete:

• Treadmill


• Chemical Analyzer


• Surgery Table


• Doctor’s Examination Bed


• X-Ray Machine

You’ll also need the following:

• Snack Vending Machine


• Extra computers (to be positioned away from the front desk)


• Toilet


• Sink


• Counter


• Microwave

You can also edit the hospital in the base version of the game with the help of a mod.

How to Change the Lot Type in Sims 4 to a Rental

Rental property can be the ultimate source of comfort for players and their Sims. For example, you can convert lots into rentals and then rent them out as holiday destinations that will attract Sims from across your world. From visiting your childhood folks in Windenberg to spending a weekend in Newcrest, your Sims can enjoy the perfect vacation.

Here’s how to change a lot to a Rental in The Sims 4:

1. Open “Manage Worlds” and then select the world you’d like to host the rental property.
   


2. Click on the lot you’d like to change.
   


3. Select “Buy/Build Mode.”
   


4. Click on the house icon in the top left corner. This will open the Venue Info panel, where you’ll be able to specify the type of property you want to craft.
   


5. Scroll down the Lot Type menu and then select “Rental.” This will instantly convert the lot to a rental property.
