How to Tell Which Lot Your Sims Are On?

greenXen

Silly question: Since the addition of color to the World View maps and some other UI changes, I don't see how to tell which lot your Sims are on. How do I do that?

Example:

When I play rotationally, and click on a home I haven't played recently, it sometimes asks me which Sim on which lot I want to play.



But, when I click on houses around the neighborhood, I don't see the lot names.

Aye, and why is there no game clock on there? And remember when a patch came out earlier this year that sorted the relationship panel by last interacted with...well, that has gone as well. There was even was a time when you could have selected to view Oasis Springs with one mouse click from the screen you have shown in your second shot.

The UI is probably my least favourite part of the whole game. I have a long, long list of complaints about it. What amazes me is that it is getting worse.

Lol, OK, thanks @ModerateOsprey. You're right, of course. I just thought I was missing something obvious because this seems like really basic information.

I had the same problem and someone helped me out. Here is the thread.

Thanks! That helps for lots I haven't changed the name of.

That certainly has been bugging me as well, I don't remember who my Sims talked to when I last played two days ago, how am I supposed to know which friend I should take to the gym or the cafe?
Also not happy about the new neighbourhood selection screen, especially because you have to scroll down for Newcrest (where my Sims live), why didn't they at least put Magnolia promenade down there?

Anyway, back on topic, I usually just want to play my Sims on their home lot and I tend to know the name of that one, but yeah, it's annoying that lot info isn't shown anymore.
