Is it possible, then,in my new hood, to install my own lot, then change it to secret hobby lot using changelotzoning? without having to deal at all with maxis fugs?
I tried to build one from scratch and was not able to do it. When I used the change zoning cheat the lot could not be saved. When I changed it back to a community lot I was able to save it. I am just guessing that it is like the s societies and that a new one cannot be built with one already in the hood. (There may be a max for FT?)
But seeing as how the game dumps the lots in the hood automatically at loading even if the lots have been removed once (which I did), I can't figure out how to make a new one.
Aaargh!
I have not played with swapping in and out program files, but imagine that if the hobby subhood creation mechanism is removed that would also remove the capability of making a hobby lot. I may experiment later. We need a No Hobby Lot Respawn Hack!
