[ECO] Room placement error in Stonestreet Apartments #4

I'm replacing evwery lot in my new save game (as I often do) but I'm unable to place on of the aprtments in Evergreen Harbor - Stonestree #4.
I get an error saying "cannot make changes outside owned area". I have a feeling it might be related to the door/windows on the front of the lot because if it allows me to place if I'm not touching that wall.
I have tried placing from build/buy without a householde and having a sim move in and then place it - none have worked. I have MOO on.

I specifically did all this without mods or cc so as to keep the save as clean as possible. All lots were taken from the gallery.
In the screnshots you can see how it places when away from the front wall.

  • UnderlandDgtl  I've had what you have happen once or twice with San Myshuno apartments and after a bit of trying various things, got the lots to place.

    The way you can get the lot to place on the apartment building begins with finding a vacant lot big enough to drop the lot on and place the lot there.  Then move all objects along the wall and anything that hangs on the wall that abuts the next apartment at least one tile away from that wall.  Then delete a one tile section of any walls that intersect that wall right at the intersection.  In your case, I see only one wall between the bathroom and the nursery.   Then save the lot to your Library.  Go back to the EH apartment building and try to place the apartment again.  It should work and after it places, draw the wall you deleted back, repaint both sides and place all the objects back where they were.  I can't remember atm, but you might have to change the venue to residential when you place the build on the vacant lot and again back to apartment when you place it on the apartment building.  If the games does make you do that, do so.  It won't affect anything.

    Hope this helps.
