  • From the list of worlds, select the one where the lot that needs to be bulldozed is located. Upon selection, players will have an aerial view of all the available lots in that location. Next, they need to pick the lot they want to clear.
  • After selecting the lot, click the ‘build’ icon at the bottom-right side of the screen. This will take players to a new menu.
  • Here, players will find the Bulldoze tool, represented by a bulldozer icon. Upon selecting this tool, players will be presented with two options, "Bulldoze Lot" and "Bulldoze Terrain."

  • There is a difference between these two bulldozing options. When players choose Bulldoze Terrain, they are essentially clearing everything on the lot related to terrain, be it hills, floor tiles, or mere grass. Trees are outdoor plants and not terrain tools, so they remain untouched.
  • On the other hand, opting for Bulldoze Lot means players are removing everything on the lot except for terrain. Only the ground and grass will remain, but everything else, including the house, decorations, and trees will be removed.
