Walls closer to the lot edges...
Doc Doofus:
Is there any cheat (or other trick) that will let me build walls or foundations closer than the 2-square limit to the edge of the lot?
Gwill:
Simply put: No.
People have been begging for it since the base game, but the answer is still no.
You can put fences on the edge, and greenhouse walls go as close as one square from the edge, but that's it.
ZephyrZodiac:
You can, however, build right up to the pavement (or sidewalk, if you prefer) and your upper story can protrude over it - I think with moveobjects on it would be possible to build a "floating" upper floor right out into the road, although I've never tried it. Also, you can put outside staircases at the side of the house, which effectively means you are using one of the two tile widths for your house.
Also, if you are aiming for a terraced effect in your hood, you can extend the front wall to the edge, and put an archway in it - a lot of terraces have passages between them and doing this looks quite realistic. I've done it with 1x1 lots to create 2-up 2-down terraced cottages, and then divided them with the high wall (the old, broken brick type wall, not one of the fancy ones, can't think offhand what it's called.)
Doc Doofus:
Ah, okay...
I am working with 1x1's and 2x1's. The opportunity to own vacation homes in BV makes it appealing to try to design the cheapest house available. It seems as though a half-decent cheap furnished vacation home will run about 8000 unless you get extra clever about it.

Hello Doc Doofus,
While there might not be a mod for building to the edge of a lot, there is a method in testing. I recently read through the thread by Mootilda who has been working with the Andi LotExpander and has updated that for BV. In that thread at MTS2,

the link is given for the general discussion and within that discussion, the link for the discussion of the work being done by plasticbox toward being able to build to the edge of the lot.
Please find Mootilda's 'Discussion: Lot Size, Orientation, Rotation, etc' thread here:
