Newspaper Delivery
Eva Aisling:
Would anyone know why my newspaper is being delivered to the corner of my lot?
I am currently playing a custom neighborhood, on a 5x5 lot, for the Legacy Challenge. The only hacks I have installed are afhairmediumcenterpart.package, alfixes.package, antiredundancy.package, and comm-skilling.package.
I have all expansions installed and patched. I also have all stuff packs except Holiday, if that matters. I did a full reinstall before playing, so all expansions were installed, in order, and patched with the most recent patch.
I can intereact with the newspaper just fine, and am having no errors. It's just a waste of time to walk halfway across a 5x5 lot every day to recycle the paper.
Thanks in advance!

That's probably why it is happening. Not enough hacks.
Pictures of the lot affected please? Ground floor floorplan and a picture of the front of the lot will do.

Why don't you just use the inventory or build/buy mode to place the newspaper at the trash bin / composter? It doesn't solve your problem, but it saves a lot of time.

Wow, that was fast. Thank you for responding, but I figured out my problem. I started building my legacy house on a foundation, but I didn't have enough money to build my portico (porch). So, there was no foundation underneath the stairs leading to my front door. After posting, I made my porch and the newspaper was delivered beside the door. This is a feature added in AL, and I hadn't considered it being a problem.
To anyone searching this phenomenon... if you have AL, you must have a foundation under your stairs when your house is on a foundation.
Yes, playing this game without hacks is really annoying at times. I am a MATY addict and always put these hacks first. I usually never play without them, but wanted to make a fair score for the challenge. The only reason I installed the hacks I did was to avoid errors and exploit. My first attempt without ANY hacks was short-lived. I started getting multiple sim errors, before I even made it through Uni. I also got the mega skill bug and was having to Force Error my sim after every Work Out, to avoid it.

You don't need to have a foundation under your stairs. What you need is space next to the door (on the same level) for the newspaper girl/boy to put the newspaper on. It doesn't matter if the floor tile in question is supported by a foundation or not, at least not on the lots in my game.
