- `ShowNonBuyable` allows you to access hidden build mode items, like decorative power poles, road tiles, and more.
- `IgnorePlacementRules` to allow placing some hidden items like power lines in the proper place.
Now, you can get started editing the map to make it your own!
Now, you'll be able to edit the map to your heart's content. Note that you can only delete lots if they don't currently have a household occupying them, so you'll have to export or delete existing households first.
## Caveats
There's a few engine details that you'll have to pay attention to when creating custom maps. Currently, these aren't enforced in the game, so ignoring them might lead to unexpected results.
- Roads have to be made of the hidden road tiles, and they have to be 5 tiles across to be registered as driveable area. Lane markings are optional.
- Every map needs to have at least one road that exits the map's border, otherwise people will not be able to go out of town, which might lead to crashes during gameplay.
- Lots should not intersect each other.
- Newly placed lots should have a name assigned to them prior to exporting, as otherwise they will be marked as incomplete, causing them to behave unexpectedly.
- Some build mode features behave unexpectedly outside of lots and especially close to the borders of the map, so take care when placing walls and roofs there.
- Lots should not intersect each other.
- You can only delete lots if they don't currently have a household occupying them, so you'll have to export or delete existing households first. To delete a lot, select its full area with the Remove tool as if you were placing the lot.
## Useful Cheats
There's a few cheats not listed in the [cheats article](cheats.md) that are useful exclusively for editing custom maps.
