Thank you for the reply. In the new version all the terrain elevation changes stayed but foliage has been reset. Grass, bushes, trees, etc. have been overridden and cover the new yards I've built.
Obviously crops are reset aswell but I will wait until season is over so that's not as big of a deal. The map editing is a set back. Im just trying to find out why the new map is overriding my map edits?
I had to upload the 12/3 version to my Google drive for my community to use for now and pray Giants doesn't break anything. Thanks for the help!
