Rotate an entire house?

Is there a way to rotate or move an entire house at once if you want to reposition it on a lot? The only thing I can figure out is to move each room individually and they don't always line up properly in the new position.

    Just be careful about rotating the entire lot. Most lots aren't square. So, if you rotate the entire lot, anything that will end up outside the lot's boundaries will be deleted.

    But you can always hit Ctrl-Z to move it back if it doesn't go right.

    Hi @AnnieBannanie2

    You certainly can move or rotate your house in your lot. I often forget how to do it myself but here are the steps.

    1. Go into Build Mode (F2)

    2. In buildmode you will see a four-arrow pointed cross next to the bulldozer icon at the top. It will say Move Lot&House. You can click on this to select move house or lot OR simply press the "U" key in Buildmode. The effect is the same.

    3. Now your whole house should be focused with all the walls up. Click on the house and you will see the move arrow or rotate buttons. Click the move arrow and your house floor outline will show green where you can move it. So long as you have space you can move it freely on the lot.

    4. Click it into place and watch it move the whole house.

    I hope this helps.
