Problem with changing residential to community lot

[blondecrystal]

Hi Fellow Simmers
I am having a problem with changing a lot zone from residential to community. I have used the the lot zone changing cheat and it works..But! When i enter the lot it has the residential trashcan and mailbox but not the community Phone booth.
Thanks for any help.

You need to place it yourself. You can find it under the community sort button and then streets. You will need to use the Move objects cheat to place it in the area of the trashcan. You can also find a trashcan more suitable for the street there as well.

Thanks very much Alasdair for the quick reply and solution.

No problem

This thread was still on the first page, so I replied here instead of starting a new topic.

After I've changed a residential lot over to a community lot (and placed the phone booth), what do I do with the mailbox and (residential) trash can?  Can I delete them, or will I bork the lot and/or the game if I do that?

You have to delete them, or they'll most likely start making trouble on their own.

Oh, okay.  Thanks!

One more tip, just in case you don't know it: If you're doing the opposite (changing a community lot to residential), then remember to download the buyable mailbox and trashcan from here (sims 2 - hacks/mods - buyable trashcan/mailbox).
There are different versions, so use the one that fits your game

Awesome, thank you!  I grabbed those now, because otherwise I'll be converting a community lot somewhere down the line and be thinking, "Where was that site with the mailbox and stuff again?"
