So I downloaded a residential lot for the Sunnyside Strand Beach, and I changed it to a residential lot so that I could add that lot to it, the the little icon thing above the lot just...disappeared. Later, I discovered a little padlock option upon clicking the icon for the beach, saying what the title of this thread says. The thing is is that I don't know this cheat. Do you? If you could tell me what it is, that would be awesome. :'D

    Open the cheat window and first enter "testingcheatsenabled true", then enter "buydebug".

    Or you can enter "testingcheatsenabled true" and then shift+click on the lot and select "build on this lot"

    I was wondering about this the other day.

  • ctrl+shift+c then type in code 1 hit enter. repeat steps then enter code 2

    1: testingCheatsenabled true
    2: enablelotlocking true

    In Edit Town click the lot and on the little info thing click the padlock icon to unlock. You can then remove or change the lot type.

    Happy SIMMING! ^^ "You must use a cheat to lock/unlock this lot for editing." (5)

    I've used this cheat and it works. You just need to be on the lot and not in map view in order to edit it.

    This cheat unlocks a locked lot. If the lot ios locked. You must first unlock it with this cheat. Then you can change lot type to a different type, or delete it, whatever you want. The other cheat mentioned here works fine just to build, or buy things for the lot. "You must use a cheat to lock/unlock this lot for editing." (11)

    Oh, I didn't realize that you hadn't added the lot yet. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    You have to bulldoze that lot before you can put anything on it!
