Ambitions: What's borked
PirateFaafy:
I've had serious trouble with the world editor. Removing lots causes them to no longer be plaçable, even in the exact spot upon which they used to be placed; Rarely can other lots be put there, either. This was near the beach, so the ground was not entirely flat, but it was not exactly steep, either. The error was always "can't be placed on other lots", although if it was too large it did object to being in the water.
This was in the Fuzzy Pumpkin's neighbourhood (Dragon Cay), so it may be something to do with the way it's structured. (I guess technically this is a problem with the patch and not Ambitions, though, since I'm running basegame until this torrent finishes.)

I had similar problems in Twinbrook. The tool is very touchy. If there are any trees or other world objects within 2 squares of the lot being placed, it freaks out. I have learned not to remove a lot unless I'm darn sure I want it gone, because there might not be any turning back. CAW allows you to place lots with only 1 square as a buffer. This tool seems to require more.
Claeric:
Edit World is kinda a simpler version of the tool. CAW is editing the world before the game even has access to it- you can place lots in water, over roads, etc. THey won't work properly, but you can do it. The game knows these won't work properly, so you can't place stuff as "creatively" as in CAW- so lots are much touchier with being placed near roads (though they do snap to the road if they are a proper size/the road is straight enough), and cannot always consider surrounding area "placeable" even when it would be in CAW. Not so much a bug as it's just a simpler tool with limitations.
Roobs:
I just wish it wouldn't erase the address when simply moving a particular lot. The tool is pretty much useless to me, if it's going to start auto-destructing the lots when used. God knows what other crap it's doing.

I am assuming this is an ambitions problem, but basements are fucked and building them is complete bullshit. I am getting constant "Ground level too high to build stairs on basement" errors or "cannot level ground" errors or "Cannot place stairs inside foundation" errors, even when ther ground is completely flat and surrounded by emptiness, or the ground is already completely level, or the stairs are NOT being built inside a freaking foundation.
I had this issue, and when I checked the upper level, there were some squares missing from inside the walls, at the top of the walls, once I placed some tiles and covered the area and removed the tiles, the stairs could be placed. I also got the same error when trying to place stairs below a frieze. I removed the frieze, placed the stairs and replaced the frieze.
