@SheriGR, Here you go:

Oh you found it! :) I couldn't find it on the gallery website...

@Simpkin I didn't use any cheats when I placed it and only had the issues where the incline was too steep.

I've noticed a couple of issues on lots when building then placing elsewhere, as part of my 'playtesting' for my builds is to test if they place properly from the gallery.:
When rotating or repositioning a lot within the lot, when I placed a build with a 'sunken' living room or dining room area, the content of that area was partially deleted or entirely deleted depending on what I was doing.
I have one lot that I used terrain height on, and there are several ways that I found it can be fidgety to work with. Placement and movement of the lot is one of them. I built this home Pet Lovers Family Home and landscaping in a manner that used the entire lot up to the edge, and it was fenced in all the way around. I notice these dynamics when placing:
→ When I place the lot/build on a larger lot a number of items are deleted.
→ When I place the lot/build on a lot of the same dimensions as the original but not into the same original lot space, no items are deleted, but there is a very slight jump/adjustment that is apparent in the fact that the 'dirt' areas I added/painted around the base of the foundation, trees, etc. is slightly off/showing a gap.
→ If I place the lot into a different game's version of the same lot space where it was built (Brindleton Bay, Heckling lot), it places perfectly with no effect to the terrain/'dirt' areas.
My working hypothesis is that if terrain height tools are used at the edge of the lot (in other words, if you altered the pitch of the earth, even if it's slight, near or maybe just at the outer edge of the lot, this may be effecting placement into a lot with any variations to the adjacent land?

@Stormkeep The lots are all flat, but not all of the the worlds are. It seems can effect the placement sometimes (see below), in my experience, when the raise/lower terrain tool is used in certain ways (up to the edge). I only did one lot so far with terrain adjustments, and it was rather fidgety dealing with how it effected a number of factors I don't normally even have to give a thought, and one of the was placement.
Following is a portion of a post I made on this issue as it arose for me. If you read the entire thread you will see that the person found it was an issue for them also, but in his case it was causing the roof to be removed on placement.

So.... bottom line, @CaioSantos it's my guess that this is why the builder requested you place in a specific lot.

Seems like maybe the terrain tool they used was too steep? When using the terrain tool it has to be smoothened out enough for them to walk up the slope. That may be the problem.

You might want to try adding stairs, it'll allow Sims to move to the top.
Example:

It is obviously less steep, but it could work for your lot. Placing stairs on a hill will adjust the terrain to allow the stairs to be placed.

I forgot all about the terrain tool.
Omg :D

Do you know where the problem is?
Get the sim walk bit by bit and when they get stuck you'll see the place,fix that part.
