Changes:


Two chairs in the lovely lattice lot can‘t be re/moved. (Fixed in You Dot You update)

Influence Island and SimChase going on simultaneously? Seriously? They really are trying to kill their players. And they’re pushing all of us to buy SPs since most of us have no way to earn any except through the SP spins.

I’m trying to move one of my houses from its small lot to the lovely lattice lot and I forgot about these chairs that won’t go into my inventory. Is there a way to get rid of them or maybe it will be fixed next update?? Or should I cut my losses, demolish the lot and build a different driveway house to use the lot….

I guess the Firemonkeys know about this issue already, but don’t know if they will solve it with the next update. Looking at the current event schedule, the next update may be released in a bit more than 2 weeks. Not sure if I‘d patiently wait or tear down the whole lot

Yah….I was trying to keep the pavement that isn’t otherwise available in my game but, now that I see it with the pink walls, I don’t really like it lol

I don’t even like the color of the lawn and don‘t build the templates for my Sims

[simmare]

Is there some reason those chairs can’t be placed in inventory? I already built/gutted this house template (don’t much like it, but there were pieces I wanted to keep), but those 2 chairs bugged me. I ended up just demolishing the lot.

Also, I think this update is event-lite (yay!) because there’s something big coming in the next update. At least, that’s the word from the Girl Who Games blog. Maybe the next installment of Sim Springs?

When you say "move one of my houses" do you mean replicate a house you designed onto another lot?

I recall in one survey they asked about features we'd like to see. One was to be able to move a build to another lot. I gave a big thumbs up to that idea.

Yes, I want to replicate it on a larger lot….and I agree, it would be nice to be able to just move it!
