One question, though. I've got a fairground lot in my game and when I place a Seasonal Lot Marker on it I want to make sure that its current appearance is how it looks for summer, then have it change for Spring/Fall/Winter. Is there a way to bring all the common objects over into the summer layer so that they are one and the same, and then make changes to the common once I know its current appearance will be its summer appearance? I'm sorry for the complicated question, I confused myself just writing it, but I want to make sure I'm fully ready when Seasons comes. :mrgreen:
If you place the Seasonal Lot Marker down on a lot that already has a bunch of objects on it, all of those objects will automatically be considered part of "Common" mode when the marker is placed.
What you could do is use the marker to set the lot mode to summer, then grab any of the transparent objects you want to have assigned to summer to pull them over to that mode of the lot. There isn't an automatic way to do it all at once.
Good question though, I'll add something on that to the FAQ!
Thank you for answering my question. I'm thinking of saving all the colour styles I've used, taking screenshots of the lot in Common mode and then placing all the objects in the Summer mode exactly as they are in the normal version. Would this work fine or is there a more efficient way to drag objects onto another layer without deleting the original?
