    build time, no for players only.... also for sims :D

    Im thinking to start modifying neigborhood a 8-sims household as the municipal workers/builders and a lot where you place (at build mode) all objejcts needed. Then the 8 workers carrying them at their heads.... going one after other

    I'm definitely gonna try this. One of the neighborhoods in Newcrest has a picnic area without a trash can. I'll try to follow the OP's instructions to place one there. Thank you!

    Isn't it easier to go to manage worlds and edit the place? lol
    AGAIN...... THIS TRICK IS TO PUT OBJECTS OUTSIDE OF ANY LOT NOT IN A COMMUNITY LOT !!!! IF YOU USE THIS YOU CAN PLACE OBJECTS LIKE BENCHES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD . With manage world you just edit some LOTS not the neighborhood ! Have a great day :)

    If you'd just say "Public Spaces" I'd think you'd get a lot less confusion and more people understanding.

    It doesn't seem to work too good with trees... It works but the trees are shrinked to fit the head... Oh well... If someone finds a way to make them big again it would be awesome !

    AM SOOOOO ADDING TRASH CANS TO PUBLIC GRILL AREAS IN TRASHCREST... err Newcrest!

    THANK YOU!!!! Yes... caps. I'm excited :D

    Do you know around which lots do the garbage cans not work? I know many people (or maybe everyone) have this problem but I just told my sim to go the open bbq place near the neighborhood with the 50x40 lot and it seems to work fine.

    Thats why I said not all objects work 100%. There are many objects like benches,trash cans that work 100% but there are also some objects that they just change size :)

    there's the bb.enablefreebuild cheat which allows you to go into build/buy mode on community lots

    This does not work for public areas in the neighborhood around the houses I play. I wanted to place monkey bars by the pirate ship at the neighborhood playground and the cheat did not work. Set as head did get monkey bars to the playground.

    Also, I wanted to put an easel by the bench in a public area so my Sim could paint from reference. I set the easel as her head and had her walk over to the bench kind of off to the right otherwise the easel blocked the view of the bench. Then I had her kids sit down on the bench and had her paint from reference. The scenery was so pretty. It took me 3 times to get the kids to have decent poses but it worked in the end.

    Just wanted to add that the observatory does not retain it size when setting as head. It shrinks. It is still usable but looks funny.

    I don't know where else...but the common picnic area behind the end lot of the 5 lots on the right side of the world view. It's the south lot on Newcrest world view....the north lot in game play. BTW I've noted that that's evidentaly how all the townies eat....it's a very busy bbq site. Indeed, if you sim is hungry they can often find a plate of food there that is not yet spoiled, along with several plates that are lol :s

    hey John, this is one the best tips. I try some through. Do you happen to know once it place, if i want to change the position, how to del those or move ?

    thanks so much in advance.

    For people having issues with items that resize when you put on the head, you can try this mod: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=536711

    You have the option to resize the object when you put it on the head. I haven't tested but I'm quite sure it can fix the issue.
