Fixed an issue that caused Lots downloaded from The Gallery to be placed backwards and not being able to rotate them to an appropriate view.
Fixed in Patch 1.59.73
Hi @crinrict - This is happening on ALL lots that used terrain tools, have a pool and exterior stairs. I tested multiple houses, and 100% placed backwards when placed opposite. I also had a friend test with her builds and same thing. Even a new build I am currently working on placed backwards on an opposite facing lot. You can test this lot https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/307E9B3B178F11E9814A8C7810F253DA?category=lots&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=weekly&searchquery=schnuck01&max=50&maxis=false In Newcrest if placed on 'Hillside Highlands' it places normal, when placed on 'Asphalt Abodes' it places backwards.
*Wanted to add - I had to delete the pool, all stairs and the flooring of the deck that pool was in to get this to rotate.
** I changed it to ALL and 100% because the lot I had that originally didn't place backwards on 2 lots I tried DID place backwards when I placed it on 'Hillside Highlands' (The lot was originally built in OS)
Tested this lot for you, indeed the lot you listed also placed backwards for me on asphalt abode.
I tested several of my builds that have all the things you listed, placed correctly and rotated with no problems.
I have found the same bug for two of my builds, which have terrain work right up to the white line. (On my gallery catalog they're called broken front porch & 4br subsoil)
Your build style maximises the use of the lot and I think that may be causing some of the issues- the builds of mine that I could rotate do not have much going on around the white line point, so perhaps this is why it has not been more widely reported? They definitely need to look at the rotate lot function of they haven't already.
@KlaireWaffle I placed your 5 BR Modern Family on one of the 50x50's in willow creek and it also placed backwards. I will check more in a bit.
I tried editing my reply, but it took me to a nonexistent page.
Now that I'm testing more of my builds, more are unrotatable than I originally thought!
And I've been informed that some only bug on certain lots.
What a nightmare!
@schnuck01 @KlaireWaffle I also had this happen when placing this lot of mine in my game this weekend. Place on "Hillside Highlands" in Newcrest to place correctly. (The backward one was when placing on "Fern Park" in Newcrest - a street perpendicular to the first lot). I am a meticulous placement tester. It had placed correctly on the same lot before the pre-IL patch. I did also use terrain tools and it has 2 pools.
Edit: I'm on Mac, have all packs, all updates, never had Mods/CC... and the issue is still present after the October patch.
