Solution For Lunar Lakes Mailbox Issue
I was recently building in Lunar Lakes and noticed if i made a new property or bulldozed a current one, the mailbox was reverting to a "classic" Sims 3 mailbox (white Victorian style). :cry: After some heartache and messing around with testingcheats, i figured out a simple fix for the problem. Here's how. 8)
Step 1. To change a "classic mailbox" back into a "Lunar Lakes" mailbox, you must bulldoze the property back to "empty lot". Lot needs to be 100% empty.
Step 2. Save any small lot with a "Lunar Lakes" default house to the your library(smaller houses are easier to place on any size lot)For example, i used "Icarus Nest" residence. (default houses are the ones that came pre-made/installed in your neighborhood, in other words a house the game built, default houses will have a Lunar Lakes mailbox with them)
Step 3. Go to your "Show empty houses" tab at the "Edit Town" screen. Select your copied default Lunar lakes house, now place that house at the property you want to "restore" the mailbox at. Your property should now have a small house with a Lunar Lakes mailbox on it! :D
Step 4. !!IMPORTANT!! Until EA fixes this bug, you cannot EVER bulldoze a Lunar Lakes property, or else you LOSE the modern mailbox. In order to keep the modern mailbox, you will have to MANUALLY (click and drag the delete hammer) delete everything on the lot. After you delete the small house and its surroundings, you should only have a Lunar Lakes mailbox and a trash can left.
Step 5. Congratulations, :lol: you have your Lunar Lakes style mailbox back! If you lose your mailbox again by accidental bull dozing repeat Steps 1-4.
Goodluck! If this was already solved, my apologies, if this helps you, then...Your welcome! :-)
