The lot that won't go away!

[hiddentemple 18]

I have recently performed a major overhaul of Jackson City's big roads.

However, the building for the Union Bank of Cosarara (Jasoncw's US Bank Center, Milwaukee, no sign)had to go out of the way for the improvements to be made... so I delete the tower, and the lot itself is still there. I have tried hitting it with a meteor, striking it with lightning, bulldozing it (over 30 times... ), setting it on fire, all to no avail. Is there ANYTHING I can do to make this thing GO AWAY?! It's been getting on my last nerve!

Thanks in advance for any advice I get.

P.S. A picture of my dilemma is below...

Sounds like you may have an immortal lot. You could try plopping the same lot on all four sides and demolish them all at the same time. Or you get this by RippleJet to remove the immortal lot.

Am I understanding correctly that you modified the lot or are you using it as downloaded? If you modified the lot or used the building on another lot, be careful to not let the building get close to the edge of the lot or it may overhang a bit. That's usually what causes the immortal lots.

CaptCity, the only problem that I have with the SC4D LEX (where the "immortality killer" you suggested was) is that it's a pain in the neck just to log in... I keep entering my information over and over again and it doesn't let me in regardless of whether I typed anything right!!!

Is there anything else you'd suggest?

If you registered SC4 Devotion on the forums only, you'll need to register separately on the LEX. They use two different registration processes.

If plopping the same lot all around the immortal lot did not work, you could try different rotations when plopping. If the problem is a misplaced building, you may need to get the placement so the overhanging building is over the original lot.

Something else you could try is to open the immortal lot in Lot Editor and move the building away from the edge, then save (not Save As). You might want to save a copy of the file before this. I've tried that before and it has worked.

I tried plopping the same lot around the immortal lot and demolished it all at once, and still that didn't work!

Also, the Lot Editor option. I don't know where it is, don't know how to work with it...

Did you try plopping the original lot in the space and then surrounding it and demolishing?

I don't see any reference here to the dezoning tool (v). Did you try dezoning the lot (even if it was plopped).

Interesting topic... I have this problem alot, especially when i put a road thru one square of a 1x3 zone... The two remaining squares still have their props but will not demolish... I don't know if this will work for ploppables but when this happens to me I remove the square of road, rezone the squares then demolish the building then dezone...

Sorry if this makes no sense, i find it hard to describe what simcity does in a forum

Got this problem on a Mac, can't download RJ's file because it comes as an .exe. Anyone have a zip version (aka manual install) for us Mac types?

Filejuicer can fix that

Convert ZIP files which have been saved as .EXE files to zip.

I had a simular problem when i plopped a NAM roundabout .. it overlapped a policeoffice what original stood on the corner.

Can't delete it anymore no matter what.

A solution may be ( can't tell for sure and will test it) to delete the lot and the lots 1x -2x around it except for the road it was original connected to (it still will be there undeletable) place another random building on top ((it will show placable but you get an error when placing it) after that i could delete the lot permanently.

P.S. also a nice money trick , i noticed using this trick i got the full $$ back twice deleting it lol

Let me know if it works.. it has been an annoying bug for me also for a long time and after messing around i found this to work once.. i still gotto see if i can redo the trick
