Moving houses to different lots?

I've started building houses in Newcrest, and I've run into an issue. I built 5 nice Craftsman style houses in the Ridgeline Drive neighborhood. Only after I had them built did I realize that I had a house with a relatively wide floorplan on a relatively narrow lot, and a house with a relatively narrow floorplan on a relatively wide lot.

I'd love to be able to move the wide house to the wide lot, and the narrow house to the narrow lot. But obviously, I don't want to bulldoze them and build them all over again.

Is there a way to take a home that is on one lot and simply move it to another?

Or, if there is a way to copy a home that is on one lot to another, then I could use any of the empty lots as temporary holding locations as I shuffle the houses around.

  • Thank you. I had tried saving the houses to my library, but I hadn't figured out how to place them on different lots. But with a little digging, I found it:

    1. When viewing the neighborhood, select the Open the Gallery icon at the top.
    2. Select the My Library tab at the top.
    3. Select the house I want to place.
    4. Select Place Lot and Edit (or just Place Lot if moving it to a bigger lot and you don't want to change anything).
    5. Select the lot and then click the big checkmark icon at the bottom.

  • Save the houses to your library. Then you can put them on any lot you want, even on smaller ones. Maybe you'll have to redo the exterior, garden, landscape, if you put the house on a smaller lot, but not the house itself.
