Can't go to newly owned community lot!
Squeezybal:
I had the urdge to build a community lot. So I did. However when building, I forgot the green sign, though I have the cash registers and ticket booths and such.
I made a family, had him call and baught the lot. Cool, I even hired people. Even cooler. However, I haven't even showed up to work it! I can't get there! I don't have a car, so I take the taxi. It's loading....loading....loading....and still loading.... For some reason I can't get it to load completely. So in the freeze, I shut down, start over. I even tried going into build for the community lot, can't. Says he has be there. Ugh...So I load him at home, (says hes 'go somewhere' taxi icon in the corner, hes not home yet) he arrives as if hes just getting back. (grr he never went....blah) So I try to get him to go there AGAIN...then the same problem.
The only good thing is it has at least saved on its own up to the taxi ride. So Im always on my way home.
I did the hack conflict detection scan, I have a few probs with behav, nothing that will freeze the game for this(18 and over stuff).
WHAT DO I DO!?
How do I bypass to go into the commuinity lot? (to add/delete things)
If I sell the lot, will it lose all it's stuff? Even the building itself?
thanks for your time and pondering the issue

I built a community lot as an OFB store. For some odd reason the lot would never load. I tried it with two different families and the problem would not resolve itself. My only thought is that the new lot had somehow been corrupted in the build process. I don't know but I finally sold the business and demolished that lot.
You problem sounds just like mine. Have you tried having the family buy a different lot to see if the problem is consistent? I would bet that the lot in question is simply a loss and others will play for you.
Also, have you all the correct patches for the game? Ironically, using the taxi should not cause the problem that an owned car might in an unpatched game. I still think the lot is corrupt.
Try another lot and let us know.
BTW, I could always enter the lot, if left unsold, and tweak it. I just could not get it to load.

ARG!
It worked though...which is great for future lots. However the one I can't play is the largest lot, and super cool. Granted it's large, but my puter can handle it plus some. Im surprised and wish I knew how to get it to work...
My only other issue with the now working lot, is that it freezes. Have to do reset on puter just to get it to shut down and restart. As long as this game takes to load, it's a pain in the tuckus.
So what is it? A bug in the game?
If you sell it, does the building become empty?
If anyone checks this post, please let me know if you have this issue, helped someone or whatever. Any info at this point could help.
thanks
jinyc:
If you sell it it will be available to sell again and still have what you placed in it.
I don't think the size of the lot really matters that much. You might check to see if your video drivers are up to date or at least the ones recommended by (Blech) Maxis.
I don't think it is a game bug. My game really doesn't freeze like it did in TS1. It does occasionally stammer and falter but it always recovers quickly.
Why does your game take so long to load???? Are you a D/L junkie like most of us??? Bad!
My game used to take upwards of 35 to 40 minutes to get from the start up screen to lot entry. I could shower, have breakfast get and sort the mail...OY!
I did a clean sweep and reduced my total D/Ls from just over 20,000 to under 5000 now. My game is up and running in less than 5 minutes now.
Squeezybal:
LOL Yeah download junkie...about 6+ gigs....heehee
Glad the lot will keep the stuff. whew...
However when playing the new one, doing great thus far, but twice Ive gotton "Protection Error" on my start bar with the ofb icon and freezes the game/computer/eveything. It's to late for me to see if the save I made 'in store' will save me there or at home with my business rank/money/stars still intact.
WHAT IS PROTECTION ERROR!
Ill get back tomorrow to let ya know if I sell, then buy back if the lot becomes usable.
toodles, thanks again jinyc you have been a big help.
