Walls closer to the lot edges...
Zazazu:
Ok. Got a set of four done. 2x1 townhome (3 bed, 2 1/2 bath) with the right and left edges on the ends of the lot, back side one space from the edge (so I could add windows). 1x1 townhome (2 bed, 1 bath) with right, left, and back sides one space from the edge. Then both with a back yard and bonus room added...a 2x2 and a 1x2. That way you can stagger them to fit in 3xX blocks without having blank sections in the middle. I'll get them up to MTS2 once this supposed 7 pm crash (which I still haven't seen, even after testing my four) is figured out. They come without the fencing and plants/pools and...shockingly...no custom content.
ZephyrZodiac:
They certainly look good, Zazazu, and I for one like sticking my own stuff in rather than having houses already furnished, so personally I prefer them that way. Once I get my hard drive fixed/replaced, I'd love to give these a try. I love playing and creating terraced housing, and it's always annoyed me how you couldn't keep the two families apart, if one lot cooked a meal, they'd wander next door to use the microwave, then wander back to serve the meal, and sims from both families would feel hungry and come and eat! However, to complete the realism (and no doubt asking the impossible) is a through the garden gate/door mod so next-door's kids could pop in and use the swing, or their dog could decide to take a pee in your backyard etc!
Zazazu:
Yeah, I know. When I set up the townhomes in Queen's Cove, I added the fences in such a way that it seems like a few of them have connected yards. It's all visual, though. If I can play with the ability to use the Expander to make lots independent of roads, feasibly I can make a community garden to fit in the center section (I have a thing for community gardens 8) ) but still...everyone would have to walk to it. If they can, I haven't seen anything on the R&D thread to indicate that you can. Not ready to play with that yet.
I don't like putting furniture or landscaping on lots I'm going to repeat, because I always want to change that a bit on each house. I had a townhome (ye olde style, 1x2) in Urban Paradise that I repeated, and I'd change the ivy on the outside, landscaping, and outside wallpaper on each house so they looked individual.

Inge's 4-key doors, found at simlogical.com, work wonders for apartments/flats on the same lot. You need to have one sim lock the door for her/him only, and then you can assign up to four 'keys' that allow other sims to use that door. I now use the regular doors for dorms instead of the Myne doors, and it makes things so much easier.
ZephyrZodiac:
Tried that a while back, but I lost them all when my hard drive got fried, and I couldn't find them again. Also, I remember Inge saying that they shouldn't be used with OFB (I think it was) as they'd break the default doors in the game. In fact, I couldn't find any of her apartment stuff again, so maybe she's just not put it back up, or maybe I just missed it!
