Hi i'm having the same issure with Generic lots some one help me!
Hello @Tigrebb
Are you having an issue that you can't change the lot from being generic? You may need to start a new save game file.
Try saving the builds and sims households from your current save game to your library. Then start a new save game by pressing the + sign in the main screen of the game and then place the builds and sims into the new save game.
Do you have a back up copy of the save game before the issue with the generic lot occurred? If you do, it may be better to play that game.
You can also try rolling back your save game file to an earlier version before the issue with the generic lot occured . These links explain how to do that. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/783120/how-to-roll-back-your-save/p1 https://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-restore-a-previous-saved-game-in-the-sims-4/
I also had problems with adding lots directly from the gallery. I download them first before adding to my towns. It seems to work best for me at least.
I have this problem too with a generic lot that is locked so I can't change it to another type. I tried all the suggestions with uploading the lot, downloading it to another lot, change the type, up- and download again. Didn't work. The same procedure with downloading in a new save file, upload, then back to the old and download. Nothing worked.
I did try to start a new save file and checked the lot. Here it is back to the regular type (lot for rent). I just really don't wish to start a new save file. I have played my current save file for a long time, and I would lose the development of the worlds if I had to start a new save file (lots, sims, you name it). I can't go back to a previous save file because I have had this problem quite a while - I will learn from this!
I looked at the suggestion of buying it, making it a retail, but the problem is that my generic lot is in Granite Falls. So I can't buy anything here.
I'm just going to accept the fact that the type is generic (sims can luckily still rent the place) as long as I play this save file. But if anyone knows about a solution for locked generic types in Granite Falls, please let me know.

I had this happen to me and what worked for me was to place the lot somewhere else and then save the lot, but I could never get the lot to work right on the original lot I had placed it.
I'm having this problem with the Von Haunt Estate, it says it's a special venue so that's why I can't change it but I've heard that it's just a glitch, so I'm not sure what to do.

Hello. @snupensnaps
I am sorry that you are having this issue. Although you are unable to use the workaround on this AHQ EA thread that refers to the issue because the lot is in Granite Falls, you may like to press " me too" or post your experiences with the issue there

Hello @Liv7418
The Von Haunt Estate is a special venue so the lot type can't be changed. It was designed that way so it isn't a glitch.
