Plants and trees have been a pain with Pets also - especially horses and palm trees set together to form a V at the base - well the horses somehow seem to get stuck between them - so I had to go around to all my beach lots in ever hood I have and make sure there was enough space between the trees - which needs at least 2 full spaces not to get that problem.
Also look out for fences less than two spaces from buildings or if you block off a flower garden on a community lots, tourist and horses like to spawn in them for some weird reason and will bring your game to a stand still kind of freeze.
It is a real pain. The sims team need to add a line in their programming that nothing spawn in an area that is closed off - or something.
But with driveways and houses and drive ways and plants - they have been weird like that since Ambitions came out.
Stuff like this should be prominently listed as "do's and don'ts" for the game, in a sticky. Especially since we no longer get manuals for the expansions. How are people supposed to know these things? It really is too much to expect that everyone is going to troubleshoot their game, this way. Most people don't have time or inclination to test and retest every little detail in their game. When they have an hour or two available, they just want to PLAY, not spend the whole time fixing some new glitch.
I'm bummed about the V at the base of palm trees being a problem, though. They look so pretty that way. Sigh.
Do you think putting a rock at the intersection of the V, or a small fern at the intersection would take care of the problem? Something that would say "this space is taken"? Just wondering ....
I didn't know the driveways, etc were problems after Ambitions. I have never run into it, before. Of course, I've been careful, when actually building.
What do you mean by "block off a garden" in a community lot? What blocks them? Will that really short white border fence, or brick/log borders block them? What about the short hedge border fence? I use all those around gardens.
If you mean actual fences being used to block them off, then I'm assuming if you also have a gate, all should be well?
