Title: Is there a way to get furniture to stay in an empty lot? Post by: MaxisManiac on 2006 July 16, 03:28:59 Here's my problem: I made a lot with several buildings as part of a story I'm doing, but did not add it to the Lot Bin so it could be reproduced over and over. I made my family of 24 for the story, moved them in, finished it, and now I'm on to part 2, but without a lot to use. I really didn't want to recreate the entire lot, so I made a lot, boolpropped everyone into the new one, and found the old one abandoned. I added it to my Lot Bin, but when I move them back in, all the furniture is gone.
So...is there a way for this furniture to remain in this lot even when no one is occupying it? Thanks. Title: Re: Is there a way to get furniture to stay in an empty lot? Post by: MsMaria on 2006 July 16, 03:35:14 Yes. You can find Inge's Stay Things shrub here:

The only effective, "clean" method is to backup the lot file before moving out, then visit the lot in build mode, save, exit, and replace the file.

Sheesh, I use that thing on one particular lot all of the time. Thanks, Pes. :) Title: Re: Is there a way to get furniture to stay in an empty lot? Post by: MaxisManiac on 2006 July 16, 05:18:00 Thanks, guys.
