My sim lives on a small houseboat in IP. I want to move her to a larger one. I tried to place one from the library, but the lot tags for both the port and the houseboat base disappear when I select the houseboat to place. I've tried every size and type of houseboat base, in case it was the wrong size, but none of them work. Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing first? I've done this before, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember it being this much of a pain.

I just jumped into game to check this and I was able to place a houseboat from the library in edit town with no issues at all. I just clicked on the promising port icon and my game created the houseboat base and placed my houseboat on the base/port/lot. I have not used any cheats doing this either. Next I tried bulldozing a houseboat from another port lot that already had a houseboat and base situated on it and it left the houseboat base behind after I bulldozed the houseboat. Before i could add another houseboat from the library to this lot I had to bulldoze the houseboat base as well so I think it sounds like you are trying to place a houseboat on a base that's already been left behind or you have created somehow which the game does not allow.
Try adding a houseboat to a lot without a base and it should do it automatically for you from the library regardless the size of the houseboat. I have done this 4 times now to make sure it is working properly and it has worked every-time.
I hope you can understand my tests and you can get it to work for you as well Don't worry about bulldozing the port when you are bulldozing a port lot I am pretty sure you have to use the port unlock cheat to delete the actual port itself and none of my bulldozing has effected the ports at all.
@IreneSwift Have you seen this Houseboat tutorial by SimGuruGraham? If not, maybe you'll find some useful tips and info in it.
