Re: Can't place apartment in 1020 Alto

@noullc_ycl It looks bulldozed, but did you bulldoze the lot first? I saw quite a few comments on gallery apartments (for other apartments) that said they couldn't be placed, or had an issue placing as you are, but I wasn't able to duplicate it.

Does the same happen with other builds for that apartment or is it just this one gallery lot in that apartment?

Did you try turning bb.moveobjects off and then back on?

    @PoptartJuniper Yes I bulldozed what was originally on the lot so I could place a new one from the gallery. Also, I don't think it is the problem with this particular build from the gallery, because I tried to place several builds from the gallery to 1020 alto, but none of them could be placed. 

    I haven't observed this particular problem with any other apartment on the map. It was just 1020 Alto, for some reason. I have read somewhere else that it could be the bulldoze function, but I had also bulldozed other lots, but none of them had this problem. And yes, I have tried multiple times and I am pretty sure the bb.moveobjects is working fine. 

    It was just really weird that this issue only seemed to be associated with 1020 Alto. I also tried several other things such as repairing the game, clearing the cache, etc., but none of them worked so far ☹️

    @noullc_ycl Do you know the creators name? There's a lot of apartments with that name.

    Edi: I think I found it, by Missaspenblue? It looks like the one in your screenshot.

    @PoptartJuniper Sorry I thought you asked for the lot name on the map. The first build I tried to place and thus discovered the problem is "1020 Alto Apartment" by missaspenblue in the gallery. But like I said, I also tried some random builds for this lot and none of them worked, so I am not sure if it's the problem with this build in the gallery.

    @noullc_ycl I placed down the lot by Missaspenblue with no issue. I tried several other apartments also on that lot and could not duplicate the misalignment. All the lots placed as they were supposed to.

    I play on console, so I do not have any mods or CC. If you use mods or CC, have you tried moving your mods folder out of your sims game folders temporarily?

    @noullc_ycl Have you used the TOOL mod on the lot or platforms?

    Edit: I placed the lot from build mode from live mode. I have a sim living on the lot. Are you placing from manage worlds or from live mode?

    @noullc_ycl Another helper, @JonaO703 , had luck placing 1020 Alto by Player_f4auvqgl without MOO. 

    Edit: Perhaps try using the custom wall tool to outline the apartment again to set the wall boundaries? Just a wild guess there.

    Did you try a new game to see if you could place a gallery apartment down in that lot on a new game?

    OMG I created a new game and IT WORKED! I did not have to move any of my mods, so basically it is something with my current save game. But I am still confused about how to fix it lol.

    I encountered this problem too and creating a new save allowed me to place the apartment.  The game didn't seem to like it when I had already placed an apartment from the gallery in an adjoining apartment.
