Hello folks!

I built a community lot that I eventually want to share, but I'm having some issues, and could some help. Whenever I place it in the world, none of the custom patterns I used persist. I temporally moved my Sims 3 documents folder, so the game would a fresh one. I tried placing my community lot in the world using the fresh documents folder, and none of the custom patterns persisted when I did that either (and yes I made sure the relevant patterns were installed)..I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
