Hello all :)
Please forgive me, if the information I'm seeking is already available elsewhere - I haven't been able to find it so far on my own.
I wish to make my own farm fields. This is no problem, as I know how to handle the LE. I also know my way around the reader, but so far I have not been able to figure this one out: How do I make the growable farms use my custom field lots?
Any help would be much appreciated :thumbsup:
Hi byr1al,
I know how to do that.
In the first place: the farm field you have made consists of a building exemplar and a lot exemplar. They must have the same Instance ID, otherwise the fields will not be recognized by the game correctly and you will see that there will grow other farms on the same location as the farm fields.
So your field lot has an Instance ID. This value is important. Write it down somewhere.
Then you open the building exemplar of the farm lot. In this file you should find the "Field Lots" property. Usually you will see there seven IID's: the seven Maxis Field lots.

You open the Field Lots property and tou will see a list of the existing IID's. Here you delete all IID's you do not want and add the IID(s) of your own field(s). You can add several field IID's. I don't know how many, but certainly more than 15.
If you add only one, take care that the Rep count is 1, not 0! This would CTD ytour city.
Save, exit and play ahead!
