Patience is a virtue !
I just read about this issue NOW.
When a larger home near my Moonglow home went down on Chesapeake,
natch first is the idocers and myself tryin to sort thru all the stuffs.
Toss in the auto delay to place till any of us could try to even place.
But yeh the house tool was not working.
I put up a 14 x 14 which does fit there, I put it up 3x but I couldn't enter it.
I thought someone else got the spot, but no name at all on the house sign.
Couple mins later house that appeared to go up ..wasn't there for any of us.
Rinse repeat.
Every one left I kept at it. I KNOW an old school brick house fits there.
OR a 14 x 14...kept tryin, was told I attempted to many attempts.
Rinse repeat.
Got house up a second and third time..it went poof too.
FINALLY a 13 x 15 went up BIG for Moonglow and held same as 14 x 14 or the lg brick or classic L. NP why it even had my character's name ON IT, it finally STOOD there didn't poof and yay !
Went back to my Moonglow house behind it, it did not read this house is condemned. I thought oh oh maybe I really do not HAVE that spot even if it IS standing with my name on it cuz my prior house isn't showing I placed.
Hour later, my former house said...condemned ! I think but I will wait til morning to see ...did I really get that new spot. LOL
My thanks to the invisable force the GM whom got a character of mine freed.
Ya see one of my other characters, doing idoc, logged out, and woke up to find a house plot on her head. Clicking leave house didn't work, and I was not *ejected* like we normally would be and are if someone places over our heads. NOPE, me and my beetle were UNDER the plot. Had to page Help stuck !
Got lil warning not to use that *help stuck button* much but it has been like 4yrs since I did that and shortly after, I was set free and wisked to Brit.
Sooooooo aside from the house tool not working up to snuff today,
another side effect of this evening is
ya coulda found yourself stuck
UNDER someone else's new house plot landing on your chr when ya logged out an idoc gone down - empty spot, only to come back to find yourself BURIED ALIVE and stuck under someone else's brand new house basement ! lol
FREE AT LAST !
Thank you invis'd game master, whomever you were. !
