This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default convert lot
Convert lot, I wanted to know if there is a way to convert a hotel lot to a residential lot, I would like to make that lot playable for a family (in this case it would not be a family, it would be 8 strangers), I don't know if what I'm asking is feasible or exists, so I apologize if what I'm looking for is ridiculous.
Be seeing you

Yes, open the cheat box (ctrl+shift+c) and type changelotzoning residential then save the lot and exit it. Re-enter the lot and it will be residential.

You will need a buyable mailbox mod, I seem to remember that you have M&G? If so then I linked one here:

Otherwise you'd need to find one for your EP.

@simsample I have a problem with that lot, I started playing it yesterday, my working sim's carpool doesn't come to pick him up, so I have to walk to work and I have to check the schedule, the funny thing is that they do bring him back by car, does this usually happen in these modified lots or is it an error in my lot?

Could be something left over from the hotel on the lot (I'm thinking a scheduler or something). Try installing Chris Hatch's lot cleaner. Backup your game, then load the game and go into your lot. Grab the lot cleaner out of the catalog (you don't need to place it on the lot- just click it in the catalog, it is in Misc> Misc) then save the lot and exit. Reload the lot, does it work then?

It worked perfectly, finally the cars come to pick up the sims to work, and the butler works well, I think that lot has something that doesn't look good in this residential (this ), a sim had died in that lot, I put it in the house (not the hotel), and I tried the resurrection potion and I got a notice that that sim had been resurrected in another lot, when it is the same lot, so thanks, that mod helped me a lot, thanks for everything @simsample !!!

PS: Is it better to delete this mod or save it somewhere else? Should I leave it in the game? If I leave it in the game, is it dangerous? Sorry for my ignorance.

Brilliant! I'm glad it worked.

Keep it in case you need it again, but if you like you can remove it from your downloads folder whilst you play, as it is activated as soon as you click on it in the catalog, so could be annoying if you forget it's there!
