beach lots
Babahara:
It's working, thank you guys! I installed some beach lots in Bluewater Village and added a new downtown designed for beach lots. They're huge, though :)
If anybody knows how to get smaller ones, it would be great! Those in the game are too all exceptionally big, I never use such big lots.

I think you get a choice of sizes don't you? Anyhow, a lot of the space on a beach lot is, well, the beach, which you can't actually build anything on, so the actual buildable area is smaller than the full lot size.

You can use the LotAdjuster at MTS2 to shrink the beach lots. Be aware, though, that there really is a minimum depth to the lots. If I remember correctly, if you remove the first 2 tiles (closest to the road) then the game believes that the entire neighborhood is a beach (in the lot view). If you remove the first 3 tiles, you are left with an unbuildable lot. If you remove the last tile (furthest from the road), then you lose the water; 2 tiles and you lose the beach activities and water.
IE, a beach lot consists of 2 buildable tiles, 1 buildable beach tile, 1 unbuildable beach tile with beach activites, and 1 water tile with ocean swimming.
So, I believe that the minimum beach lot is 1 tile wide and 3 deep... 4 deep if you want your neighborhood to look normal from the lot.
Alternatively, you could use Inge's beach portals for non-beach lots to create a non-beach lot which is partly under water and which allows swimming. You'd lose the beach activities, such as building sandcastles, but you could have a tiny pseudo-beach lot. There are tutorials around which explain how to get water to flood part of your non-beach lot.

There is a Smaller Beach Lots thread in the Peasantry, with a link to where you can download smaller beach lots made by MutantBunny. I use them without problems.
