Late Night and Ambitions Lots
« on: April 22, 2011, 12:13:19 AM »
I installed Late Night before Ambitions and now I can't figure out how to use the new lot types that come with ambitions like the consignment store.  Am I missing something obvious or do I need to use the town editor to insert the lots?

Thanks for your help
Randy

Welcome to the forums Randy! I'm not sure if they are installed backwards, but all the lots for Ambitions and Late Night are in edit town under community lots. Hope this helps.

When you installed Late Night you had new Club Lot types added to the game. Dance Club, Poolside, Dive etc. these are there so that you can build your own lots of those genres. Which a lot of us do because the EA Clubs do not fit anywhere apart from Bridgeport. Ambitions Buildings are a bit harder and so it is easier just to stick with the ones provided. My new games always have them placed for me, albeit very badly. As Esther said if you click on the ... Menu button it gives an option to go to Edit Town, on the browser down at the bottom there is a Bench as a tag, click on that and you can see all the Community Lots in the Saved Bin.

There are quite a few Clubs and Bars in our Swap Shop if you want to download any. Some may contain Store Items but the Uploader should tell you about that.

I thought I remembered that the game offered to insert the lots automatically after I first installed it.  However, if it doesn't, you can find the lots in the "Community Lot" bin and place them yourself. 

When it places them automatically, it seems to do so willy-nilly.  It will place them in lots that are far too big and put them in at some random angle.  Riverview is absolutely the worst for this.  It puts the 20x30 junkyard sideways in one of the two 60x60 lots.  I usually go into "Edit Town" when I first start a town and demolish the Ambitions buildings and place them the way they should be placed.  It just totally messes up my sense of order in the universe.

However, it's unlikely that you'll be able to place any of the Late Night buildings that came with the game in other towns.  The lot sizes are just ridiculous, and even if you do manage to find a lot that they'll fit in, they won't look right without some work.  Plus, skyscrapers in places like Twinbrook would just look silly in my opinion lol.  Your best option is to either build them yourself (and then save them to your bin) or download some of the lots in the Swap Shop here.  They're all really nice and are on much more reasonable lot sizes.  Like Samoht04 said, a good number of them have store items, but most of them are free items.

Sunset Valley 2.1 has sensible versions of all of the Late Night lots (many of which are also in the swap shop) and the Ambitions lots placed properly.

Thankyou so much all!  I was able to add them manually.  I did end up having a glitch with the consignment store.  I would go in and there was no shopkeeper and no buy option on register even during store hours.  I read in the forum to delete the register and add it back in and that did the trick after a couple days wait.  So thanks guys!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to find some woohooium since I can't break sculptures anymore.

Thanks again

Glad you got it figured out. Sometimes you can find woohooium in the consignment store, or by mining. Good luck!

You can also find it by digging through trash cans.

Yes, but it's quite rare that way.
For WA users, you can also get Woohooium from transfiguration.
