Oh nevermind--I realize the icon for that lot is a house. Even though there's no house there, apparently it's registering as a lot that is built on. I can't see anything placed on it but it's late and my eyes aren't the best. I'll check it out again tomorrow.
EDIT: One more observation before I go to bed. I mean it this time, I shut off the game...lol...not ALT Tab out this time.
I went back to Save Game 1--for ease of reference it's Zander--he was my test sim in my first Save Game. In Zander's save, I could place houses any place I please. The lots have little rectangle icons and I did indeed place houses where in Save Game 2--Diana's Save, I can't place houses on at least TWO lots now. One was the 653 Perimeter Road and the other is ...drat...forgot the address--it's on the long road that terminates in a large empty lot that has a subway entrance on it. It's about three lots up from that lot. I'll get the address tomorrow.
Okay so why can I place houses on lots in one Save Game but not in the second one? What went wrong, what changed the lots to show house icons on them and make me unable to place houses on these untouched lots? :shock:
Is this an EA thing? A world thing? A SummerSong's wonky computer thing? Goodness it's mind boggling I have to test out TWO saved games. Now I'm going to go back to Zander Save Game 1 to see if the speakers in the club work there.
Tomorrow I'll try a THIRD save game to see if the town map opens up with the lots designated properly.
I'm sorry if the stuff I'm reporting is known and discussed already. I try to keep up with the discussions but as you all know it's been stressful here and I've got so much crowding my head I'm bound to forget or miss something.
