The hidden lots in BV

Gwill:
Adding the debugger was half the reason I decided to build my own Secret lots to start with. :P  Will give new shiny a go next time I feel like doing some testing.

Now we are ready to hide the lot. Bring up the cheat window by pressing Control, Shift, C. Type in the cheat box changelotzoning secretvacationlot just like that. You'll know when the cheat worked because 1. You will not get an error message and 2. The option to save will now be grayed out.

Exit to the Neighborhood view - "Oh NO! The lot is still there".
Don't worry. Just move the lot into the Lots and House Bin, now go and move it back to where you had it.
Doesn't the problem with this approach mean you thus can't save the changes you made to the lot because the Save option is broken?

cyperangel:
yah, you wanna save the lot before changing the lotzoning to something else.

The rest of it works fine though

SnootCB:
The loadlot cheat isn't working for me.  What am I doing wrong?  For example, in Three Lakes neighborhood view I typed in loadlot "The Hidden Burrow", and also several variations ("The Burrow", "Hidden Burrow", Burrow, Hidden, etc), but nothing happened.  Or rather, the only thing that happened was the game complaining about an unknown command.  Do I need to be on a lot in the first place?  Or in the main neighborhood?  Or is the name of the hidden lot not "The Hidden Burrow"?  Does it make a difference that I had debug mode on at the time?  Sorry for all the questions, but I've never used this cheat before.  I would like to be able to remodel the hidden lots just a bit though.

But if you save the lot BEFORE lotzoning it, the lotzoning won't save because you can't save the lot again. If you try the lotzoning change while the save button is still available, and then click the save button while it's still there because the UI hasn't refreshed, your game will hang.
