Custom Farm Fields

[PG 0]

Hullo,

I am trying to figure out how I can make my own custom fields for farms, but I cannot find any sort of guide in the forums on how I would do it.

I have read Simgoober's ace tutorial on how to make a functional landmark and from that I have been able to make growable lots by using the ones that come with the game as "templates". However, when I find an existing *field* lot in the LE to use as a template, it does not allow me use the "save as" button.

Does this mean there is no way to use the existing field lots as templates? Would I have to make one completely from scratch instead? If so, how would I do this?

If someone could walk me through the process, or maybe point me in the direction of a relevant thread that would be a great help.

Cheers,

Peej

Shadow,

I thought I had the problem nailed after two nights of work, but after I messed around with examplars a bit more I realised I didn't know what the hell I was doing really. I settled for being able to change the default Maxis lots and decided to call it a day.

If we could get someone to post an answer on this thread though it would be very cool, as I for one would like more than 7 custom fields to play with.

Simgoober, I'm looking in your direction...

I haven't done this in about a year, but generally speaking we (BSC) had come up with an exemplar that worked well, and just copied the lots over with different props. They have a few custom OG codes for tracking purposes, but that is about the only difference between them.
