How do I rotate an entire lot?

★★★ Newbie

My house that I got from the gallery is placed all wrong, I can't figure out how to rotate it so it's the right way

while in game go to build mode then in the menu at the top of the screen is 4way arrow click on that to move/rotate the house or use the shortcut U in build mode

That doesn't rotate the lot - it just rotates a house (or multiple houses by SHIFT-clicking).

Terrain paints, floor tiles and other objects outside the building(s) are not rotated.

 

In my case (probably the same as the opening poster), the lot is facing the wrong way: When I bulldoze it, the mailbox is at the opposite end to the road and faces away from it. (Then when I place any lot on it, the imported lot facing the wrong way).

 

Will there be an update with the ability to rotate a lot when placing it, like in Sims 3?

I did not know either of these things and I have to say I am so happy, I built a house on the wrong side of a lot in one of the more affluent neighborhoods and I was feeling a bit silly with that wide expanse of greenery my sims always crossed before reaching the house, instead of coming from the street closest to them.

To clarify, you need to shift click the house to highlight all things on the lot using the U function, then rotate.  At least this is what worked for me, and thanks for your original post I was so frustrated. =)
