You need to post a screenshot I think – I don't believe anyone can tell you anything useful when they can't see the pool.

Also, is this an inhabited lot? When exactly are you getting that "in use" error message? Have you tried to sledgehammer it with moveobjects on?

I'm moving this to build mode since your game doesn't appear to be broken – you're only having trouble with this one lot, correct?

Hello - Thanks for guiding me here.. Lemme answer your questions -

No one is in the pool, The lot is has a family in it, I get the In Use message when I go to buildmode and try the pool tool + ctrl to delete it says " Cannot modify pull in use", Moveobjects on in use & sledgehammer does not work as it only deletes anything outside of the pool.

Thanks again

Try moving out the family?

Yeah this sometimes happens when you try to edit right away. In that case you need to wait a bit .. for the server to properly digest your post, I guess.

Let us know if you can edit the lot after you moved out the sims.

OK After a whole lota problems I was able to edit it. As you said I moved the lot, only problem is when I put them back in some graphical bug came about and turned the lot semi invisible. In other words, it became the color of the ground (green) complete with grids on the walls, windows, etc. etc. I had to delete the lot and start it over again. I don't know any other way to fix it. I just hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Thanks,

Maxx
