Landscaping/editing land

Hi can someone help me please, if there is a large area of land, you could not accidentally landscape it in editing with out realising could you, and if you are working on a piece of land in the next sim but bordering that land, could you landscape that from there

If "landscaping" means editing terrain, yes, it's possible to edit terrain across sim borders. One must have that permission on the land being edited, either because the parcel allows anyone to edit it (in "About Land", or by owning or being a member with that ability in the group that owns the land.

Yeah, unfortunately if the land's settings are permissive enough, it is quite possible to accidentally terraform someone's parcel in unintended ways.

You can click on a parcel invoking the Terraforming tools, and instead of selecting a tool size and applying a change with the tool, apply the change to the whole parcel. Click on the wrong spot, and it may apply to someone else's land.

You can hit the Revert button by accident, with often disasterous results, and there is no way to restore what that changes. Revert is only useful if you are the sim owner and you religiously back up the sim's terraforming .raw file after any noteworthy changes take place.

You can legitimately be trying to terraform the parcel next to another parcel, and your changes can affect that neighboring parcel, ***even if you don't have terraform rights to the neighbor***. I messed up a neighboring parcel once by simply trying to excavate for a swimming pool, 4 M from the edge of my parcel.

And you can terraform from anywhere within camera range, including from other sims.

The only way to prevent most of this is to pay attention to the terraforming rights and restictions for your land, and lock it down as much as you can. I have seen some cases where even the sim owner locked himself out of terraforming, so it required changing the permissions for the land intentionally to turn that feature back on, prior to making any changes.

You don't happen to live next door to Elora, do you?

Lol If only that were so, at least I'd have an answer to my problem
