Rotate Full Lot?

The other night I completed a landscape house on a lot only to realise after I had moved someone in that the house was back-to-front. When I entered Build mode while playing it, I tried to move the lot and rotate it but it wouldn't let me.
  • There is a tool in which you can rotate the house, but not the full lot itself. This is a pain and a little messy. You will have to rotate the floors of the house individually. Also you may have to match up the floors. The “move lot” tool only allows situating it as is and the “move house” tool will let you rotate the house itself. This is a solution for now that I know, because I haven’t figured out how to rotate it in whole lol.
  • Ive noticed that sometimes when you select to rotate a lot and it turns into its outline form, it doesn't always show you that the lot has rotated until you press the tick and the game places the lot down again. That feature seems to be a little hitt or miss at the moment for me same with rotating roofs.
  • I remember sometime ago when I went to place an already built Residential with full landscaping on an empty lot from the Library and it did let me rotate it before I placed it. Now with the house that I made for a new Sim where I noticed after the fact that it was facing the wrong way, it wouldn't let me rotate the whole thing.

    This is why I think it would be great that all lots had a directional facing aspect so you know where to put the front door.
  • If you press Y it selects everything on the lot! Try that.
  • I play on PS4. I tried that, it wouldn't rotate. It must've been a bug in a recent patch that affected rotating full lots. It's all I can think of.
