lots and houses bin

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

there are lots of pre built houses in the lots and houses bin

i made a one in veronaville but want the same one in pleasantview, I thought
bulldozing the house in veronaville would make it re appear in the lots and
houses bin, but then i realized that there was a tool to move lots and
houses into the lots and houses bin

is there anyway i can recover this house at all seen as it was pre built and
came installed on the game?

Thanks,

Chris.
