Re: How do I rotate an entire lot?

while in game go to build mode then in the menu at the top of the screen is 4way arrow click on that to move/rotate the house or use the shortcut U in build mode

    That doesn't rotate the lot - it just rotates a house (or multiple houses by SHIFT-clicking).

    Terrain paints, floor tiles and other objects outside the building(s) are not rotated.

    In my case (probably the same as the opening poster), the lot is facing the wrong way: When I bulldoze it, the mailbox is at the opposite end to the road and faces away from it. (Then when I place any lot on it, the imported lot facing the wrong way).

    Will there be an update with the ability to rotate a lot when placing it, like in Sims 3?

    There's a similar thread at:

    I did not know either of these things and I have to say I am so happy, I built a house on the wrong side of a lot in one of the more affluent neighborhoods and I was feeling a bit silly with that wide expanse of greenery my sims always crossed before reaching the house, instead of coming from the street closest to them. 🙂

    To clarify, you need to shift click the house to highlight all things on the lot using the U function, then rotate.  At least this is what worked for me, and thanks for your original post I was so frustrated. =)
