In your post you write "To use the Large Invisible parking space you will need to have the Ambitions EP installed" – that's not the case; patch 1.12 includes it too (it's a bit pointless to use it since the base game has no ownable cars of that size, but it exists).

I stand corrected. But I guess it depends on how you define use.

I built the house in the pictures. It would need much work before it could be uploaded.

Thanks to all for the comments, but Buzzler deserves most of the credit for these objects. Be sure to push the thanks button when you download the script mod.

I thought this mod was already uploaded quite a while ago, but was removed because people couldn't pick up and move their parking spots... Oh well, not complaining, it's a useful mod nonetheless.

This is not that object, the one you're thinking of is mentioned in the post.

I cloned the ingame objects and added the ability to vanish using Buzzler's script. So these basically are the same object as the ones EA gave us. I don't know what it could be. I can only tell you that these have been tested by me, and downloaded over 1000 times with no other reported problems. Are you trying to put a regular size vehicle on the large parking space, or trying to put a fire truck on the regular sized spot?

Did you also download Buzzler's script? If your missing the script file that this mod refers to it may not work.

Actually in my testing I found that if you have the modified objects but not the script mod they will work the same as the original ones, they just don't have the ability to vanish.

I would still strongly advise against deliberately using an object without the related script. The core has a fallback script in case an object links to a non-existant script: FailureObject. That is kind of a last resort to avoid unravelling data or just destroying the object (that's what I would have done BTW). Using FailureObjects most likely won't break anything, but it still might cause glitches. One of your invisible parking spaces for example without the vanishing script will not count as a parking space from the viewpoint of the script engine aka all that what founds the logic of the game.
