@ImKersha Hello!  Honestly, I've never noticed these lots were off center before.  I saw the same thing you did in my game as well so I decided to do some investigating.  I found that if you click on the park lot, then go into build mode and back out to the worlds map, the lots are no longer off center.  It's not a fix to the underlying problem but at least you'll have the proper placement in the map.  One thing to note is that, for Magnolia Blossom in Willow Creek, the orientation of the lot changes in the Worlds view.  Here are some images to illustrate what I'm talking about.

 

This is the initial view of Magnolia Blossom; same as what you shared.

This is after I went into Build Mode and backed out to the map. (Note: I think this is what it's supposed to look like based on the placement of the river and walking paths in build or live mode.)

This is when I went back to build mode to change the orientation to match World view. (Note: In this orientation, the river and paths don't line up in live / build mode so it's obvious this was not the intended orientation.)

Here is the initial view of Desert Bloom; same as what you shared.

This is after I went into Build Mode and backed out to World View.

The thumbnail of "mid of nowhere" lot on the island in Windenburg is still facing the wrong way in the map.

It should rotate 90 degrees clockwise.

 

I'm glad to see a lot of other lots fixed. I hope this time around the sims team addresses this as soon as possible, not in a few years...

 

Also, Spazi has a lot rotation fix, still relevant after 3 years.... I hope mentioning the mod is permitted as long as I don't link it.

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion other than Eco Lifestyle. Realm of Magic, Parenthood, Dine Out, Vampires, Outdoor Retreat. Laundry Day, Tiny Living, Moschino, Bowling Night, Toddler Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build a house on 2 Olde Mill Lane and (unsure) edit the terrain in any form including terrain paint.
What happens when the bug occurs? The lot shows up darker than the rest of the world and appears slightly out of the positon it's meant to be in when exiting onto the map.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the lot showing up normally on the map, blending into the rest of the world.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

I don't think the mods really affect this is any way because I haven't touched ts4 for a while, until I bought Cottage Living on the 31st August. I removed my outdated mods (the only mods I ever use are MCCC and UI cheats) I build the house the day after, and that's when the glitch happened. Yesterday I reinstalled my mods, nothing changed. Also, I apologise if the lot in the screenshot is not 2 Olde Mill Lane, I changed the lot name and that's what I remember it to be.

It doesn't give me the option to me too. Also I'm very sorry about having to merge the threads, I figured that would happen after I made my own topic. I wouldn't have made my own, but I couldn't find this thread anywhere.

@Stoopyxxx Then you probably already me too'd the thread at some point :D

Do make sure you check the first page.

 

Also, don't worry about it. It's sometimes hard to find the correct thread.

Lots are not correctly presented on World Maps

[ Edited ]
★ Guide

A few lots are not correctly presented on World Maps. That includes

• not showing in the right direction (like three lots in Evergreen Harbor)

• not fitting in the white lined lot box (like the park in Willow Creek).

Re: Lots are not correctly presented on World Maps

@LUTOOLU

Yep, it's been like that since the game was launched. All worlds have some sort of borked visuals in the map, just the way it is. The maps are a creative representation of what the world is like in lot/sim view and bears little to no resemblance whatsoever of the actual layout at ground level.
