Default Help regarding lot terrain
Hi. I'm new to the Sims 2 community just a few days ago and just now I tried building a house. At first, I created this house on a neighborhood with a desert terrain, but I thought it didn't look nice so I transferred the house to a grass terrain neighborhood. The problem now is I want to make to terrain inside the lot the same as the terrain outside the lot (look at the attached pic) but I don't know how or if it is even possible.

Hope you guys could help me.

The default grass texture is not in the catalog, but it can easily be unlocked:

1. Open TSData/Res/Catalog/Scripts/terrainPaints.txt (make a backup first)

2. Edit the entries you want to unlock like so:

Before:

terrainPaint "lottexture-canvas-desert"
brushWidth 3
notInCatalog
terrainTypeSoundSuffix "grass"

After:

terrainPaint "lottexture-canvas-desert"
brushWidth 3
#notInCatalog
terrainTypeSoundSuffix "grass"

In other words, put a hash (#) before "notInCatalog", that's the delimitor for comments in these scripts.
