Crash on resized lots at 7PM -- any ideas?
nil:
Until someone can make imposter and neighbourhood views of fake roof and fake-wall fences, these won't give out the graphical illusion as wished even for NL or above EP.
To confirm that oneself, may use 11dot arch-fences or others to try this approach out. But, I'm sure it takes more for this to work. I've read that lod 90 may be a key to it.
But, this won't allow more usable space for building on a 10x20 or 20x10 lot. The buildable area left will be "6 full grid wide plus 2 half of the diagonal grids" wide times the 8 to 9 full grid long/deep. Lol, it's the last 2 lines and the grid row that are not buildable. The diagonal walls and perpendicular walls can form on the last second grid rows to the edges.

You can't put windows/doors in them -- this makes realistic building impossible; what kind of row house has a 4m party wall?

Actually, they can as long as the graphical parts are well adjusted.
As for the fake roof, I think if it's just the walls that can't be on the edge, how about just floor tiles at the edge to act as roofs?
As for blank lot stability, testings on the shrunken blank lots can help support the point that the newer LE/LA are actually working well probably except the usages breaking the build tool limits. And that's why there were tests on that posted in the MTS2 R&D thread.
I've not read any info about Andi had released any shrinking code before a person claimed to be his daughter announcing his death.
All,
I've got a few 1x1 lots for testings if anyone is interested. This series has all 4 directions for both the residential and community for lushy neighbourhoods.

If anyone wants to use fake row houses made with fake walls that's been available for some time, and you can make them on a small lot template such as Marylou offers. The whole point of asking Mootilda to give us shrinking is so that we can have real row houses.
A compromise is to have the front and back walls stretching the whole width, but to set the side walls into the lot by one tile. The house will be narrower inside than it appears to be from the front, but its appearance once set into the row will be preserved.

OK, so you could have yet another huge set of fences with window cutouts I suppose .. one set per window type.

No floortiles above level 0 at lot edges, unfortunately. For that you'd have to shrink again.

For me the risks involved are worth it. I am having a blast constructing houses that fit together, for the realistic look and to make playable small lots of all kinds. Fake walls/roof dont do it for me, I am sorry.

Ingeli, I'm getting a crash on load every other time with my 2x2 brownstone (on right and left edges) now. As much as I'm all for living dangerously, there's just a point where it gets too damn annoying to play the lot. I was playing it for about 9 sim-days before it started doing this, and I'm one who has barely gotten anyone's lots to crash. So now all my on-edge lots will just be deco. Which is fine, in the long run...there's no way I'd ever fill all the lots in the now four built blocks out of eight I have to do. Anyways, I wouldn't play them unless you like throwing things. I'm moving the Ridges for the third time in a generation to the new colonials I made last night, all of which have a 1-space buffer and are 2x1's and 2x2's. Which means that they will now have a 5-bedroom house big enough to support the 10 kids Randolph wanted, but Brooklyn's too old to have more than a couple more. I don't do elixir.
