Lot Lights Leaving?!
Tounge twister or not, that is what just started yesterday.
I like to put outdoor lot lights on the corners of my fences, which I run right to the edge of my lots. Just yesterday I found that two of the lights on all my "edge fenced" residential lots had vanished, & trying to replace them gave me lights that never worked & would promptly disappear when I saved/reloaded the lot. So far, I have only noticed this in Pleasantview (the only Hood I played yesterday) & am very worried I may have a BFBVFS brewing, despite all my write protecting! I plan on doing a bit of testing today, but wanted to ask here too in case anyone else has a solution (other than another @#$% roll back) that may work. -ZW (I just recently had 3 crash outs in a row- one of which resulted in my having to restart my PC- involving Pleasantview's college town & a packaged lot that I have since done a way with. Really hoping that didn't fry something...)

Weird!
I've never had anything vanish from the edges of lots, but I've never put a light right on the edge either.

Well, it's not just Pleasantview but all my hoods.
The problem is the same: on each residential lot there is a side that- should I attempt to run a fence up to the edge & place lights there- will simply not cooperate. Which side (right or left) varies from lot to lot, but other than that the problem is the same. The freaky part is I have always done this on lots before without problems. (And considering the number of times I've reinstalled this game, that's a lot of lots & lights! ) So far my "solution" is to just move any perimeter fences in one tile. This is annoying but not earth shatteringly awful, and since nothing else seems to be wrong & am going to stick with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" idea & simply continue gleefully on my way toward finally getting BV & FT installed. At the rate I'm going, I may be better served to just wait for the Apartment Life & the Ikea pack to be release. At least then I would know there were no more packs to worry about & the final hack/mod releases would really be final ones! -ZW

I've built hundreds of fences to the edge of the lot with no problem but don't recall ever thinking to put a light out there, so this one is completely outside my experience, too.
