30x20 lots vs. 20x30 lots
witch:
Not to mention the non-standard lots. I've been checking out a lot of lots because I wanted to find a good building base one. I did look at the Bistro lot but at 16x18 it's just too small for me. Some lots are 29x30 or 25x30, I think I've even seen a 28x30. Why?
Enelen:
The lot size description/orientation means nothing in TS3. Put the mailbox where you want the front, and they will use it as the front. Try it in Riverview on the lonely house on the highest hill, above the town: put the mailbox beside the small path leading up the hill, and they wont use the road behind the house, EVER. The cars will stop below the hill, and the sims will run up the path to the house, every time they were out in town.

I also thing that nothing in the TS3 lots make sense. It seems that they name them while sleeping. I played the Goth family and when you see the house you notice immediately that firstly someone tried to build the TS2 Goth house. Well, everytime you rebuild a house you make it different automatically. It seems that they started the old house, it didn't come exactly as planned, then they rotated the lot and the front of the house became one of the sides and another entrance was build in the "new" front that looks much more to a back exit. Most of the houses seem to be build alleatorily. I hate the 3x4 bathrooms with cheap plumbing. Enormous 3 or 4 etage houses that don't have bedrooms enough for the ones who live in it - and they plop up a lot of babies that don't have a crib or anything to be raised into.
If it is 20x30, 30x20 or 60x60 makes no difference.

The large homes in Riverview are the perfect example of this. There is one notable one that is on a huge lot (50x60, perhaps), takes up most of the lot, is two stories, but only has one bedroom. Um, what? Externally, EA has gotten much better at their house building. Internally, it's all the same.
I wasn't going to touch house building until I could have my truly custom neighborhood, but after three generations of staring at the same neighboring households in their inefficient dwellings, I couldn't take it anymore. Last night, I rehabbed a 30x20 lot from one bedroom/bathroom that only slept one to a three bed/two bath that sleeps five plus larvae. It looks better. It works better. It costs less.

My biggest pet peeve by far; mansions that in real life would have 12+ bedrooms end up with one or two so large you could fit a whole house in them. Having only one sim living there seems a good enough excuse for Eaxis, but I like guest bedrooms, and would probably end up evicting the premade sim anyways so I could use the house for my own purposes.
