Packaging a lot
jolrei:
I would think that if there is a utility that does the resizing, there are also ways to do this manually, possibly in SimPE. I have not seen anything on MATY related to this. Anything I have found in a half hour of searching (which you should really be doing) suggests that people at MATY generally use the Lot Expander when resizing lots.
Also, what Jelenedra said.
In any case, you can not package just the house without the lot. Not possible.

I want to move my house, with everything in it, to a larger lot. What would be the correct method to do this so I won't have to completely refurnish my house?
Should I also clear all my sims from the house/lot first?
Thank for any assistance.
Unless someone here pulls a rabbit out of the hat, other than taking many screenshots and using them to rebuild the home on a larger lot, using the lot resizer is your only option. A packaged home includes the lot it sits on.
I've played with the resizer a bit, and it does have some strange behaviours, but when you consider it's doing something the game was never meant to do, it works. A simple lot expansion was straight forward, but some trial and error was needed to create alleys and corner lots. Download the resizer and play with it in a new NH with many different conditions to discover it's quirks and successes before you discount it as undesirable. Otherwise, you are going to have to rebuild and refurnish.

I have seen a lot of complaints registered re. lot expander and am not interested in this option.
Most of the major problems with the LotExpander were someone using it for an unsupported EP, especially between the time that the creator died and the current developer took over.

While you are technically correct (that a lot can be resized manually), the amount of work and likelihood of errors makes this unfeasible. However, there is a thread available at MTS2 which explains in some detail exactly what needs to be done (using SimPE and a hex editor).
The LotAdjuster, available at MTS2, is your best bet. If you backup your neighborhood first, then you can easily recover if you are unhappy with the results.

Yes, I thought that was likely the case. However, n00berte appears hell bent on doing things the difficult way. As the Son of Perdition, I can only encourage him/her in this endeavour, and watch his/her future career with some interest.

If he is really interested in doing this manually, then it would be less work to rebuild the house from scratch than to hex edit the lot package. However, I can certainly walk him through the steps required if he wants to try hex editing... that is, unless it would be more fun to watch him make all the expected mistakes. ;D
