Lot sizes!
Captain Swooptie:
I thought we were talking about same-size moves or small-to-bigger moves having rotation issues. Clearly a 30-tile-wide lot won't fit in a 20-tile-wide space.
witch:
No, it's the shape that matters. If you have a wide house and a narrow lot, you can only place the house sideways.

I have downloaded alot of custom made house's and some of them example: a 30x30 does not fit in a 30x30 lot space and that just baffles me!

What irritates me is that lots are always placed in the absolute centre of the slot, leading to porches and driveways multiple squares from the road.
Yes, I hate this too. I finally managed to move a house forward on a larger lot by moving each room separately... turns out that there are a lot of restrictions which affect your ability to move walls. Some furniture, windows, doors, etc. move with the walls and some I had to move by hand. I also had to rebuild the roofs, since the ability to move walls seems to be limited to full-sized walls.
In the end, I'm not sure that it wouldn't have been quicker to just rebuild the lot completely from scratch.

I've heard about this, but haven't experienced it yet. Do you think that this problem could be related to the lot edges, especially to fences and objects on the outside tiles?
Kiirkas:
It could have something to do with strange lot sizes. My current sims are on a lot that the main menu selection window says is 60x60, but when I'm actually playing the lot the size is 62x64. Possibly the 60x60 designation is a general rule of some kind, and each lot is more site-specific?
If there are some inaccuracies in the lot sizes, then that would explain why a lot described as a 30x30 might not *actually* be 30 tiles by 30 tiles. Just a theory.
