Title: How do you save LE buildings to appear in Sim City?
Post by: Opkl on October 13, 2009, 05:29:42 PM
Do click save as or just save? Last time I saved the building it didn't appear in the landmark menu for SC4. Help Please! :'(

Since you start with a copy of an existing lot, you need to select "Save as" and enter a new name, otherwise, the LE will create a lot that overrides the original lot. If you want to make additional changes to your lot, you'll have to use "Save" in later LE sessions, of course. Also, if you want to create a landmark, you'll have to select a landmark lot when the LE is starting. You can change the menu position and such with the various modding tools that are around, but it's better to start with a lot that is already close to what you're planning to do, as it saves you from editing a lot of things manually.

So all I'll have to do is save as and the lot will appear in the game? The lot was already a landmark before I edit it.

Thanks everyone. I renamed the lot but it still didn't show. Am I suppose to do anything in the Plug-in manager?
