Did EAxis bork sharing beach front lots too?
KatEnigma:
Yeah, only lots built on SC's terrain can be placed there, and then you have to be careful, but I placed Emma's lot fine, not even knowing where it was "supposed" to go, and so have others, on Twikkii. It makes me think something else weird is going on there.
jsalemi:
And Emma told me that lots of folks are having problems with it, too, so who knows -- maybe placing other new lots on Twikkii first (regular, not beach) messes with the terrain enough that it prevents hers from being added even though the other lots are nowhere near where hers is supposed to go.
Emma:
You could be right, sometimes when I place lots on certain terrains, I see a 'shift' in another part of the terrain nowhere near where I placed the lot! The Bluewater terrain is notorious for it.

I just want to add to this incase anyone didn't already know...
In the neighborhood decorations there are now 2 kinds of "waves" to place along shorlines. The original has the light & dark sand appearance to enhance the look of waves lapping the shore. The new one doesn't have that sand and you can place it on lots. With the original you can't do that. Aside from slopes and all that jazz, which I am sure is important, I just want to point out that I opened a lot of previously unusable space on Twikki Island by deleting the shore lines where I wanted to put beach lots.
Maybe it would help you, maybe it won't. Just sayin.
That was extremely helpful. I was really annoyed that there were these empty plots along the beach on Twikki island where you could place ordinary lots but no beach lots, because I wanted some families to own beach lot holiday homes. I had already started to think about creating another location, but I wanted the Twikki locals. After removing the waves I could place three beach lots along that one road. I am very happy.
MutantBunny:
I don't know how this would affect already built beach lots but:
I too was pissed at the lack of beach front property on TI, so I tried the slope value change (at MTS2 by boatnana) files and this allowed better beach lot placement...well ok I didn't actually PLACE the lots, but I hovered over the beach front terrain (on several terrains too) and the beach lots turned green indicating I could place them.
I just had an issue trying to enter a lot from 3 Lakes, which had placed fine, in another vacation destination on another hood--hung the game until I finally had to 'end process' to get out.
Maybe sharing vacation lots is not going to work well?
