OFB locked tiles fix **fixed by latest Maxis patch**

_______________________________________________
MAXIS PATCH FIXED THE PROBLEM! The latest patch for OFB and FFS fixes the problem of locked tiles. If you install the patch, you will no longer need this hack, simply delete the file from your Downloads folder.
_______________________________________________
This fix is for Open for Business only. It allows you to place any object within 2-tile wide area of a lot along the road. By default that area is locked and you get “out of bound” message if you try to place anything in there.
Place the file into your Downloads folder. Delete to uninstall.
The fix does not affect the objects already on a lot. You have to buy the object to place it in the locked area. No cheat code required for object placement.
If you are going to use this fix, you don't need to download my OFB mailbox fix, this fix will work for maibox and trashcan as well. But you still need a collection file to make mailbox buyable. Collection is available in the same thread
Just like any other hack, use at your own risk.
