Can't place empty lot on flat terrain.

<< < (4/5) > >>

Isn't that also to do with flat edge lots?  If your lot edges aren't perfectly flat with the pavement (sidewalk), this can lead to problems with placement next to other lots.  With empty lots, the sides will just adapt to the existing shape of the terrain but built-on lots have a more or less fixed shape and if it doesn't match the neighbour or doesn't match the local terrain near enough for that to adapt to the shape, you can't place it.  To be honest, I often move things around with SimPE unless it makes for really large differences in ground level between neighbouring lots.

When deco gets in the way, try a mod along the lines of this: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=265020 ("Neighborhood decorations can be placed anywhere", by saramk) -- I'm not sure if it covers all EPS or if there's anything like this for newer EPs if it doesn't, since I lost track of TS2 stuff a while ago. But I always had this in -- it can't hurt in any case -- and can't think of having had this issue in a long time.

That seems like such a useful download, thanks for the link. I'm amazed it hasn't been featured, actually. :)

I have sarahmk's neighborhood deco in lots in my game and it works beautifully.  It prevents dumb lot blockage and what's even cooler is you can borrow the neighborhood deco to spruce up your lot.

For example:




This lot has a row of neighborhood deco trees marching across it.  At certain angles the trees look like they're floating in the air, but otherwise it works fine.

And I think they won't catch fire in a lightning storm.

Oh where did you get that nice bustop from?
