[FIXED] Lots placing backwards (Raised Terrain)

This is not fixed. I was just informed that a house I just built placed backwards on an opposite facing lot and would not rotate, it's just a new message ' tiles must be flattened' You can test this house 'Fawn' by me. It was built on Hillside Highlands in Newcrest , when placed on an opposite facing lot it places backwards and doesn't rotate unless I delete a few tiles next to a foundation in the back yard.

@schnuck01 I have tested your build and can confirm your findings. Correction, to my understanding, the name of the lot is "Fawn • Base Game", not "Fern", as you stated? I am assuming I this since it is your most recent lot and this issue is mentioned in the comments?

I have tested in my game by placing it on "Asphalt Abodes", which is an opposite facing lot to "Hillside Highlands" in Newcrest, per your stated issue.I found that it did place backward. When I tried to turn the lot I got the error "Terrain Must Be Flat".

Are these details correct?

Edit: A new bug Report has been opened. Please refer to my same comment there instead: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Lots-placing-backwards-Again/m-p/8753823#M123776

@schnuck01  I took a look at your Fern lot at @SheriGR request and I think I found the reason that it is placing backwards and won't rotate.  There is a small section in front of the hot tub where the terrain is raised and it extends to edge of the lot.  You've hidden the edge there with landscaping.  But since you had floor tiles on it, it will not flatten with the flatten lot tool.  But if you delete the tiles, the lot will flatten and will rotate.  Also, if you save the lot to your library, it will then place facing the front of the lot.

So my suggestion to you is to raise the hot tub area to the level of the rest of the house.  I'm not absolutely certain, but I think this may be caused by changing the terrain elevation on the lot edge but I haven't done any building by using the terrain tools. 

BTW, that is a very nice lot.  😃

@SheriGR OML haha yeah, it's Fawn - face palm - what the heck. 

@CGrant56 Hi, thank you, yes, those were the tiles I deleted to get it to rotate and these were a part of the previous issue why some houses were placing backwards before the issue was 'fixed', which is why they were one of the first things I deleted to get the lot to rotate. I will absolutely avoid using multi level foundations connected by tile on future builds, they did at one time work without the lot placing backwards, and I thought that the problem had been fixed in a previous patch. So,  that's really why I'm here to say, 'hey fixer gurus over there at EA, there's still a problem, please I would love to be able to use different height foundations again'  and while I know now that there is still a problem and  what's causing the issue and how to rotate it, I don't like that the people downloading it could potentially have it place backwards and they won't have a clue how to rotate it - it was someone downloading the build that made me aware that it's happening again.

Thanks for checking it out! I'm off to cry now because I can't make floating stairs anymore .LOL

@schnuck01 
Love the build ❤️ Very nicely designed with lots of great features.

Placed on all the lots in this strip. I could not rotate any of them. They were placed with MOO per the instructions. I considered the possibility that the build was too close to the border and that might prevent it from turning. So I tried it on the larger lot on the end where there was plenty of space that should have allowed it to rotate. That was a no-go as well.
Unfortunately I am stumped for an answer other than to place on the original lot.

@schnuck01 Oh my goodness! Something you just said in your reply about not being able to use 'floating stairs' any more triggered me... I was hoping you just ment when using stairs in those, as you did in your current lot. But... after reading your comment and also seeing @EuphorialQueen 's screenshot, I tried placing my lot with faux/floating stairs created as foundation sections at different levels. It  placed correctly all over the place in Newcrest when I made it, but just now I placed it on "Civic Cliffs" (which is where I built it, I believe) or on an opposite lot ("Asphalt Abodes"), and it places correctly. But when placed on "Hillside Highlands" (next to it) it now places backward!

@EuphorialQueen  - Thank you!

@SheriGR You can come cry with me LOL.. Yeah, I think it's the tile sitting on raised terrain that's making the lot turn which is how you do the faux steps, and although I don't have them in my recent build, I have a step down to another foundation height using the tile inbetween on raised terrain. I'd have to test if it's just a tile on raised terrain itself or because it's next to foundation as well. So, I believe they may have fixed the pool issue making the lots turn, but this remains. Soooo sad, I love using this feature in back yards. *Sigh* Going to go do an apartment now haha.
