Chestnut Ridge World Discussion

So, the world is gorgeous, as expected. I am having one frustration with Galloping Gulch, though, and I am hoping one of you creative people can help me find a workaround:

I really love both the Big Sky and Palomino Junction builds. However, I don't love them on the lots they are on, and think they would be much better switched out. I.e., I would like the raggedy little cabin on Palomino Junction moved to the Big Sky lot, and the nice cabin on the BS lot moved to the bigger PJ lot.

The first one is easy. I just save a copy of the PJ lot, bulldoze the BS lot, and then add the PJ lot to the BS lot. I'm not worried about moving the landscaping over, so I can just center it and not worry about what gets cut off around the edges.

But moving the BS lot to the PJ lot is a bit trickier. I'd like to move the BS cabin to the PJ lot, but I want to retain the PJ landscaping. Actually, let me be more specific: I don't care that much about the rest of the landscaping, but I absolutely love that pretty little lake on the PJ lot and I don't have the skills to recreate it. (I also don't have the building skills to tear down the little PJ cabin and rebuild the BS cabin myself.)

So... since we can't merge lots, and have to bulldoze the original lot to add a lot from the gallery/library, is there anything I can do here? Can I save the lake as a room? I know people do save outside areas as rooms, because I see them on the gallery all the time, but for the life of me I can never figure out how to do it. Is that an option here? Or does anyone have any alternative suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I think it should turn into a room if you build a fence around it.

I love this world more than I thought I would. I turned The Oak Barrel into a restaurant which was very easy because it was already beautifully built. I just added the required items and moved the bar upstairs. I hope they allow players to build all of the lots going forward.

I wonder why the lots are not connected to the paths again.

hmm it seems like its the trailer lady who has to move out of lot i meant to use for Kine Society

if stable lot type can be residential I'll probably change it to be her house +the stable and have her live there

The stable lot is just a Park. There are no special locked lots in this world.

I do wish there were a few more 30x40 lots rather than so many 20x30 and smaller ones in this pack. I normally like 20x30, but that just seems a bit small to own a horse. I guess I will see when I get the pack.

The horse bed is 4x4. You can place a bed, use MOO to place a feeder and trough on top of the bed and to one side and surround with fence/gate or walls/door and it's completely functional for horses still... All on 4x4 tiles. Horse ball can be placed in owner's inventory and placed somewhere off-lot (feeder and bed can too, actually).

Placing columns messes with this a bit though as they seem to block horse beds if in contact with them.

It just seems like such a small place for such a big animal, it seems like a real horse would be so cramped in such a small area. But thank you for giving me the size of the straw bed. . It seems like they should have a pasture to graze in. I would have just like to have seen more 20x30’s and 40x50’s in this world, though normally ( other than cottage living and Horse ranch ), I tend to prefer the 20x 30’s in normal worlds

So I was wondering why my horse was not using the horse bed... that's only because of columns near be? It's hard to construct a realistic open barn without them :/

Thank you for that info on bed size @EmmaVane! I should have time today to set up my game in Chestnut Ridge and update my builds. Unfortunately, I planned and built the stalls in my barns for 4x4 thinking it would be big enough. Will have to increase size of my barns to accommodate the beds, which wouldn't be too much of a problem except that the majority of the lots for ranches are smaller than I would like. I want to fill the world with horses and the other animals! Will have to utilize other worlds as well.

Just tested it, yup it's because of the columns... I don't know with what to replace them...

If you make the stalls a tile bigger in both directions the columns likely won't be an issue. Alternatively you could test out various fence posts/poles from live edit.
