Beach lots aren't like regular lots in the game, and if you don't know what makes them different you can run into all sorts of problems. This tutorial will explain some of the worst problems with beach lots, and provide tips on better uploading and downloading strategies so that we can all share and enjoy beach lots as they were meant to be enjoyed! NEW EP NOTE: Apartments CANNOT be built on beaches/beach lots. Sorry.

Kevikiev - In the Read Me file that came with the AL Expansion under the CHEATS title you will find this statement from EA themselves, "Note that zoning a beach lot into an apartment lot will severely corrupt the ocean and lot terrain and is strongly not recommended." Just an FYI.

As I do sumbit a lot of beach lots I would love any feedback if a problem ...
On Jun 23, 2008 Madisim wrote:
The only think I can think to add, after that wonderul tutorial, is that comm lots, etc., will not handle as much content as perhaps a res'd lot. And thanks to our own Tiko for that bit of info. Don't totally overbuild (I should talk) ... you will run out of walls, etc. even in beach lots ... And 'Hotel' vacation lots, Oh wow, keep the content to the lowest and/or the least amount of NPC's that you can. As said, so many graphics going on, one more NPC can crash you fast!

I loved this! It really made a differents to my lots! Even though you can make beach lots for real with Bon Voyage, this is just so much different from that, because that you can build underwater without cheat! Thank you so much

Wow! Thank you for clearing up the mystery of beach lots. I was wondering why when I downloaded beach lots I was told to place them as they came out of the bin. Mystery solved. This tutorial was so easy to understand and really explained alot. Thank you so much for writing this tutorial, it was very much needed.

Downloaded immediately! Thank you! I was scratching my head over all those floating trees and objects. In some cases, the lot itself seem warped out of shape and could not be fixed. This makes a lot of sense and is tremendously helpful! Thank you!

Brilliant! Thank you! I did have two people complain that my Coca Beach lots made their computers crash. I tried my best to help them, but just couldn't figure out what was causing it. Now I can tell them about your tutorial. I'll be linking all my beach lots back to here.

Tammy this is a brilliant tutorial!!! You would not believe how many beach houses I have deleted because they kept crashing my game when I was testing them. I wish I still had them now...oh well I know for next time..which is now because I am building a beach house right now! You are a legend!!! Thanks very much and gamelia for requesting this!

I had no idea about these problems or special things about beach lots! Thanks for sharing! Also I got inspiration for new looks due to your pics. I already uploaded a beach lot long ago (Island de Muerta Vacation Home). There are 3 vacation destinations as you know, but I made a custom Vacation destination (not a new neightbourhood). Also I didn't upload a preview on the neighbourhood since I didn't know this at that time. However, I never got any complains (although I don't have anything else but a ship, a few chairs, a campfire and a lemonade stand on the beach), and I don't know if it got reported either. It's been downloaded 84 times so far and thanked 5 times. You think it's ok then? Have a wonderful day and take care!
