Unable to Set Front of Lot in Edit in Game Mode

I recently installed The Sims 3 completely from disks and have it patched to 1.67. While in Edit in Game mode, I have entered "testingcheatsenabled true". When I shift-click on the edge of the lot, the only options I get are Build on this Lot and Buy on this Lot. If I go to Edit Town from the menu, if I shift-click, it just brings up the pop-up to build or change the lot type. If I go into build mode, shift-click does absolutely nothing.

It doesn't matter whether the lot has been developed or not, or whether it is a residential lot or a commercial lot, I get the same results either way.

It worked fine with patch 1.69 before all of the EA app nonsense. Am I doing something wrong, or is this cheat not available with patch 1.67?

  • After deleting the cache files, I was able to get the Buy on this Lot and Build on this Lot options in the "live" mode of Edit in Game. However, I still don't get the option for setting the front of the lot.
  • You should be able to do this, because I also downgraded to 1.67 recently and have been setting front of lots since then with no issue.

    Remember, it's CTRL+SHIFT+LMB, and try clicking around, not too close to the edge or near any objects.
  • I forgot to press the CTRL key. Works now. Thanks @ts1depot !
