Default disappearing seasonal lot marker
I had a great idea, I thought--make an art gallery with a seasonal lot marker on it, so it can have four different exhibitions over the period of the sim year. I got the common items set up, made the spring exhibit, saved, exited... and when I re-entered the seasonal lot marker is no longer visible anywhere so I can't use it. It is not gone, according to the game, which will not let me place a new one. Also, I left it in spring or common, but the game thinks it is in summer--does that mean anything? My most likely course is to start over, but I'd like to try to salvage this first, or failing that, to have some idea of why it happened and maybe how to prevent it in the future.

I would probably ask the modders at neaas if they have anything to either clean it up or make it visible.

When I'm using the public and hidden markers I'm always a bit worried they will disappear too. Once I put them down though they are fully visible.

When you re-entered build/buy mode, was buydebug enabled? The seasonal lot marker is only visible when buydebug is enabled, even after it has been placed in the world.

Butterbot: yes, I enabled testing cheats and buydebug. Volvenom, thanks for the suggestion, I'll ask over there. edit: no, I won't, because on reloading it was mysteriously fixed.

Great idea! I am glad the seasonal marker decided to return. TS3- driving us crazy since 2009...
