Re: Terrain paint not showing on lots in world map view (manage worlds or travelling

@Warbandalex2222 I believe that is normal. When you say you don't see it when you travel I assume you mean when you are not currently in any lot? The Worldview is simplified in this manner when you're not in a lot,  and this is normal. If that's not what you mean, could you please elaborate and add a screenshot or two of the issue with the clarification? Thanks!

  • Okay, if its not meant to show when travelling thats fair enough. However, I don't understand how two of my lots show terrain paint from the manage worlds map view, and the others don't. Is that normal?

    @Warbandalex2222 It may depend on the type of lot, type of terrain paint, amount of it, if it's yours or the game's or any number of factors. All I know is that it's normal for terrain paint and some other details to not show from the Worldview Map as it pulls only very simplified elements from the lots, and excludes tons of detail that you would see in live mode (or build mode) all over the world - on lots you made, on the game's lots, and on non-lot areas.

    This happens when you have used the terrain manipulation tools on the lot. If you have a default flat lot and paint it the terrain paints won't show in the map view but if you then use the terrain modelling tool it will.

    Exactly the same lot but one has terrain manipulation and the other doesn't:

  • Ahh, that makes sense then because I've just looked and all my lots with terrain manipulation show on the map with paint! It annoying for aesthetic purposes but can't be helped then

    You could just raise one tile ever so slightly to kick in the effect so all lots show the terrain paints 🙂 I did that in a save because yeah, it bothered me too :D
