Annoying standard mailboxes

Post by Sara_Darkees » March 2nd, 2019, 12:39 pm

This may seem ridiculous, but because of this little thing all my fantasized plans are collapsing like a house of cards. I'm going to build a new house and I'd like to get rid of a terribly boring mailbox. In the section buydebug I found the object I need, which should be a replacement (this is from store content). However, when I delete the standard required residential lot objects and replace them with new ones, I can't enter town edit mode. The loading continues indefinitely. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of the standard mailboxes, make a replacement or I should live with what I have?

That's strange. I've replaced mailboxes before without trouble. How did you delete the mailbox? I have an OBJD override installed to make it deletable; idk if using testingcheats or DebugEnabler to nuke it instead would cause problems or not.

I used testingcheats and deleted it in construction mode. But now I guessed copy the residential lot from the town where there was already a mailbox, and put it on my new lot. It seems to have worked. But I don't understand why either. If my memory does not fail me, I did similar actions when building an apartment. And that time everything worked correctly.

Deleting the mailbox causes no problems in the past you sometimes had to delete the mailbox to fix problems with them. The game will replace it on reload.

The apartment mailbox stations are coded to replace the standard mailbox when placed. You can find mailboxes in buydebug under Misc. Objects.
