Is it bad to flatten a beach lot?

That's why I place modular stairs. Mind you, my beach lots are flat to start out with, mostly.
Beach lots can never be TOO flat, and the flatten tool will always create at least some "cliffing". Modular stairs can help, but are not a perfect solution for all cases. It is a risk you take when using the flatten tool wholesale.
Lana B:
I did place modular stairs which they were able to use when I forced them to, but there were no waves. I must have broken the beachness somehow as except for me being able to see it, it wasn't there. Flattening the lot was the only thing I can think of that might have done it. This was in a brand new 'hood, the non-beach was the only placed lot and I didn't move it. The only playable sim (until he married and had kids) was resident. The beach did work for a while but I wasn't watching closely enough to know what killed it.

Ooh, I may have misunderstood, I didn't mean use the flatten lot tool, I meant the click & drag lot levelling tool. I usually stop the gridsquare before the bit where you can't place anymore foundation. On re-reading I realise the lot flatten tool is what Lana was talking about too. Sorry. I still place modular stairs though as I like the look of them leading down to the beach and I usually fence the beach off anyway.
I haven't ever used the lot flatten tool as I haven't had any need to.

I always used the leveling tool, but I will try the click and drag one from now on. Sounds safer, thanks Emma. After all, you're the one who knows about building, far more than many others. That JM thinks the leveling tool could be unsafe doesn't fill me with confidence either.
*Emma has beach lots?*
