*! THIS LOT HAS NON-LEVEL EDGES !* explanation

<< < (2/7) > >>

FlareStorm:
Is this a valid tactic?

Get a lot
Place the lot in a stupid junk neighborhood that I don't care if it gets mucked up
Go into the lot and level the edges (assuming the wall placement and such make this possible)
Move the fixed lot to the bin
Go to the neighborhood I care about, place the fixed lot from the bin

ZephyrZodiac:
I think what JM and Emma are saying is that if the lot has non-level edges, it cannot be fixed. 

Mirelly:
 Like ZZ just said, you can't change the elevation of a lot's edges, period

ZephyrZodiac:
If you check, though, and find the lot's edges are ok, then there could be one or two other things preventing you from putting your lot next to another one.  Firstly, check in the Decorations mode to see if there are any decorations on the lot and remove them.  Secondly, sometimes trying to place the lot works if you go to the main menu, and then return to your hood.  Only sometimes, though!

Using the "Junk Neighborhood" technique, should all 4 edges be leveled to the street level?

You can avoid it by using completely flat terrains such as Sedona and Viper Canyon in your actual lot building. Prevention is better than cure.

That's kinda what I was hoping not to hear  :P  All these wonderful .sc4 terrains, but 70% isn't going to be usable.


You can still use those other hilly terrains but there will be warping. Even if you use completely flat lots. FYI a few of the maxis lots in the lot bin have non-level edges too. I can't remember which ones now but most of the ones added by recent EP's are quite unusuable. I am thinking of rebuilding them from scratch so they don't warp the neighbourhood terrain.
