    Lot Names Change Back To Original Names In Play Mode?!

    in The Sims 3 Help & Technical Discussion
    I am building community lots, which I am enjoying, for a blank map I downloaded - only issue while play testing that my family and I have found is that the name of the community lot reverts back to the original name of the rabbit hole when I switch from edit town to play mode... this is aggravating me... Ive tried bulldozing and replacing, restarting the game, copying the town to double check, etc.

    I am naming the community lots names that fit the town - how can I do this? Do I need to edit the actual file? And if so, how? That's the only thing I've thought of that I haven't tried yet.

    TYVM

      Here is the conversation that I had with EA Tech Support Live about this issue



      Alex: Hi, my name is Alex. How may I help you?

      2390336563: I think they game (the sims 3) is glitched. I have created community lots, and named them. When i switch to game play mode, the names switch back to the original name.

      Alex: Where in game or at http://www.thesims3.com

      2390336563: in game
      2390336563: when uploaded to the website, it keeps the name I put
      2390336563: in edit town mode, the details and Name that I put are there, but when I
      switch to game play mode, it changes and doesnt show the details

      Alex: I would better suggest that please visit http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/ if you think that it requires developers attention

      2390336563: I have looked through the forums and support on the website. I was
      hoping it was a simple issue I was overlooking
      2390336563: I assusmed it was more for tech support

      Alex: I am really sorry however, as it an offline game there is not much which I can
      suggest

      2390336563: so what do I do?
      2390336563: cause when I clicked to talk to tech support this is what it gave me

      Alex: Please visit the forum and post your issue there so that the game developers can
      take a look on this

      2390336563: which one do I post under? Tech support? Cause I have posted
      something in that forum and players (who don't know development) are the only ones answering

      Alex: Yes, please post this under the technical discussion

      If you name a community lot the rabbit holes will not have the same name unless you buy them in game and change them that way.
