More Awesome Than You!

I use a default replacement terrain to achieve a more old time-y aesthetic to replace the pavement/asphalt as seen here:

However when I make apartment lots, even if I change the pavement, I'll play the lot and the road will have changed back to its default tiling making this ugly effect:

So I ask, is there anyway to avoid this without using the glitchy apartment edit cheats (which seem to be VBTs)? Like, is there a way to make the replaced tiles *stick* when converting the lot to an apartment lot?

I suspect each apartment sublot regenerates the terrain, so you will have to repaint the road each time.

Repaint every time, or repaint once for each of the apartments?

Try it and see.

But I thought editing apartment sublots was essentially a VBT?

Mostly, yes. You're doing something clearly nonstandard already, though.

Answer - repaint the road once for each occupied apartment, and it sticks. Presumably it would need doing again, anytime an apartment is emptied and re-leased.

Just answering the question...

I'm repeating my question. I'm well aware that you can repaint the road each time - I was asking if there was anything else I could do since it was a VBT as well as wondering what sort of consequence there may be from doing so. I wasn't just asking if it was possible.

Ah. Sorry, that's way beyond my code-cracking skills. Need a Pescado for that question.
