Cannot Place A Lot In Edit Town Mode

I have tried SEVERAL times to place a lot that *I* have created, only to find that ALL the lots disappear. I am in my home world when I want to Edit University Life's town.

WHY CAN'T I PLACE A LOT IN UNIVERSITY LIFE??

    Make the dorm in a game that is not your save game.  Make sure it is marked Dormitory

    Save it to the edit town library.

    Go into the save game - Do the steps mentioned above.

    Because you're saving the lot as a Dormitory it will retain all the items that you put inside of it even though the original lot was No Visitors Allowed.  The new lot will be a dormitory because that's the type of lot you are placing.  

    All changes made to a University or Travel world are per save file unless you delete the parts of your save that holds that information.  So it will be there for your Sim to get a second degree or her kids to get a first degree or even her great grandchildren to get their first degree.


    Ok. Will have to try your steps later. I had another error code 12 and ..... well, had no choice but to delete the entire saved game. I am currently trying another new game.

    I've figured it out!!!! When you click on the lot you want to place it should come up with the name and then underneath in brackets what type of lot it is (for example big park, hangout, art gallery.)
    You then change the empty lot to the same type of lot as the one you want to place, it should then work! Sorry if it seems confusing 🙂
