    If you want try deleting it with mods

    Destroy Object Cheat + All Cheats mods by TwistedMexi.
    Read the description on how to install both mods. You will need to hop into live mode in order to destroy the mailbox.
    type in the cheat testingcheats true then shift+left-click (on the mailbox) to Destory Object (Debug)

    MCCC can also do this but might be a bit much for this single purpose. I can give instructions on how to do it with MCCC if you would like. Since this lot is meant to be residential then make sure to place a new mailbox on the grid to avoid this issue popping up again.

Hmmm maybe bulldozing the land flat (not sure if that makes a difference or not, but in my mind I'm thinking of the "grid" as a blanket on the ground and if you raised part of the blanket by placing something under it (in this case, the terraformed lumpy ground), the blanket edges/corner would pull away from the original location


When I attempted to bulldoze the terrain, I got this error: "Can't find object", and it prevented the bulldoze terrain option from working. I also get this error if I use the "flatten lot" option in terrain tools and the lot won't flatten. It does flatten if I move a flat lot in from the library, but the mailbox is still there.

Did you try picking up the lot and moving it over one square to see if the mailbox becomes accessible when it's not on the very edge?
It's the button in build mode where you can move or rotate the whole lot.


I tried moving it over and rotating it. The mailbox stays put, it doesn't move with the lot.
