Bug? Bulldoze or Place Copy removes Beautiful Vista
brownlustgirl:
There is a discussion about this at ModTheSims and they are stumped also. No one have been able to isolate the object that makes the "Beautiful Vista" buff work. I really hate to build beach homes cause in my game using "constrainfloorelevation" cheat leave hanging ceilings, I dislike how my lots come out looking so square. Boo EA!
Mootilda:
No one has tried very hard to isolate the "beautiful vista" object, although I'm quite sure that one exists.
It's really stupid that EA removes hidden objects when clearing a lot; this whole game seems half-baked.
Death-Jester:
I have just come across this bug too. I downloaded a 60x60 mansion, which my Sim family just moved into (had to save up the §370,000 first!).
It's placed on the only 60x60 lot, up near the Landgraab mansion. I know for a fact that the lot should give a beautiful vista/lot buff, because I've built on there before with a different household.

I have tried very hard, and we also tried to find references to it hidden in the scripts with no luck yet. My thoughts are that it's a flag rather than a hidden object, as the lot contents of one I know to have a BV do not include any object that looks like it's a BV indicator.
Mootilda:
If it's a flag, then I'm surprised that EA bothers to clear the flag when you ask it to delete the building off of a lot... why bother to write special code to do the wrong thing? And here I had been assuming that they were just too aggressive when removing objects from the lot.
There's no way to add a beautiful vista to a lot, it gets deleted when you clear a lot, and it doesn't get packaged with a lot, so the tendency is for all of your beautiful vistas to disappear over time. Sigh. This game seems so poorly designed / implemented.
