I built on the Bluffs. I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to be able to.
We probably can’t change the one because the Knights of the Hedge have to roam there.
I've built on the bluffs also. Built an all glass house, that is all windows all around.
you can build on bluffs and the other lots but you can't change lot type which means building family homes to live in or such is completely impossible (sims would go home and all that mess) and you can't assign any useful lots like restaurants or spas or anything with more service sims which is annoying to say the least

I have a Sim or had (I deleted the game) living in the house in the bluffs, she was an artist, and I had no problem with her interactions.
What do you mean by unlock? You want to build? testingcheats on or true then BB.enablefreebuild
Never tried to change the lot type. I have to go check it out the next time I play.
I have built on all the hidden areas. Never tried it the temples though.
Great question. By "unlock", I mean that they shouldn't be restricted in any way. They should just be normal lots. i.e., we shouldn't need to to use bb.enablefreebuild. More importantly, we should be able to change the lot type to fit the stories we want to tell.

How did you build on the bluffs? I tried and used enable free build but it wouldn't let me? I dont have mods or cc - is it a mod that enables you to rebuild it? thanks

It was almost 2 years ago that I had built this, I did not use any CC or mods, don't even know if I used a cheat. I'll have to take a look at the lot again when I have time.
Entering from Manage World view lets you build on the special lots without cheats.
This thread could be moved to Feedback section, since the question is for EA /The Sims Team / SimGurus to answer. Right now it is in General Discussion. I think OP can move it, by choosing section on the gear.

When I added things to the lot I didn’t have to use a cheat, but I left the pool alone. This was over a year ago though.
@catmando830 if you could I would be really grateful as I have been so keen to build on that lot for years!!
I was going to look for the house and try to place it in the bluffs last night, but RL got in the way. It might not be until this weekend that I can get to it. I have a post-it note on my laptop to remind me.

I'm not sure that I have that ability. I've checked. I'm fairly certain only a mod can move/delete posts. But you're definitely right, it should be moved to feedback.
I assume that some special lots are locked because they have specific gameplay mechanics, like the big park in San Myshuno. I noticed that there are actual fireworks that go off there depending on what you do.
I think Maxis locked them to be on the safe side. From what I understand if you change lots that are connected to gameplay it could lead to crashes, this is why I got error messages when I tried to join the spice festival but the bar lot that they go to was corrupted.
As for the lots in Windenburg, I assume the reason for the Von Haunt Estate for example is because there are unique ghosts there and you can also get invited to a party over there.
I don't mind having some of the "Special Lots" as what they are. You can build on them or change things if you want. I've done that with the Science Lab for the Scientist career several times. I keep improving it. I wouldn't want to change the venue type though, I can see how that would break that part of the game. What I would like is to have at least the "Not-Secret-or-Not-Special" lots in Granite Falls and Selvadorada able to change to whatever venue, like Residential. I'd love to have some characters actually living there. Kind of like Strangerville, it's an adventure world, but you can also have characters living there.

@Dianesims well... even the Strangerville lab should be unlocked, maybe after you finished the story and all at least once...
