30x20 lots vs. 20x30 lots
Krisan Thyme:
I noticed the same thing awhile back when I started populating my first serious neighborhood.. It's pretty ridiculous that two lots listed as the same size can be of a completely different rotation from the other, or that two lots that show as being slightly differently sized end up being exactly alike. I have to seriously wonder what they were thinking when they laid the lots out in the neighborhoods, since they follow absolutely no sense of logic to them..
Mootilda:
This sounds exactly like TS2. The lots had an internal rotation which determined which of the two measurements came first and which came second. People often assumed that the measurements were width (frontage) x depth, but it was never true.
Why would EA bother to change something which was already completely absurd, when they could spend their time mucking up stuff which used to work instead?
ciane:
It's possible that the Myrtle Bungalow was built on a 30x20 lot and placed on a 20x30 lot causing the description size of the empty lot to be replaced by the description that came with the house.
chaos:
If the mailbox were on the long side of the lot, that would make sense, but it's not. it's on the short side, meaning that the lot dimensions should be 20 x 30, not 30 x 20.

Honestly? I never noticed this in TS2. But it didn't really matter there either, since you could actually place your own lots in TS2.. Here it's a lot more noticeable, not to mention a lot more annoying.
