Adding to lot size

[deanva 70]

When ever I want to increase the lot size one or more rows of tiles it always adds them to right side or bottom next to my road. Any way to add to the top or left side so I do not have to move items already in place?

That would be a no.

I'm afraid that this isn't possible (although this is surely one of the most annoying problems with LE). There's some trick that might help you: When highlighting a prop, pressing CTRL + any arrow key moves the prop 1 in-game meter to the direction the arrow key is pointing. One game tile is 16x16 m, therefore, if you press CTRL + the arrow key 16 times, you can move all props/flora items 1 tile to the direction you want. I'm doing this frequently; it's not funny at all, but at least it helps me keeping the formation of the props the way it was.

I would add to this that when moving base and overlay textures in the same way, be sure to drag a square around all the textures to select them, rather than trying to individually select them, as havoc can ensue (particularly with overlay textures - if there are multiple overlay textures it's not possible AFAIK to individually move them whilst keeping them intact). If you follow this collective advice, it's actually a pretty painless (and quite accurate) process.

OK thanks for your replies.
