Just to confirm, there need to be one tile in between all lots, yes. (..) But, don't despair, the versatility of the lot sizes (total, from 1-64 tiles) makes up for this.
To me it doesn't. I've built enough lots and neighbourhoods to be 100% certain about what features I need, and the ability to place lots wherever the fuck I want is one of them. If that's not an option, I can just uninstall the entire game now.
Thanks JMP for the info - you just saved me a bunch of §§, plenty of HD space and lots of wasted time =).

I'm guessing you just really, really, really love nailing lots right smack up against each other to the point of obsessiveness. Usually, though, such a thing is accomplished by building the thing you're trying to build on a single plot. The ability to subdivide a lot into multiple residences is presently being researched, but it's very possible to do such a thing in a mod. It may also be possible that these limitations are things artificially imposed by create-a-crap, and can possibly be bypassed with sufficient armtwisting.

This is Plasticbox. He loves the party wall.
I know it's not what we can get with TS2 and LotAdjuster, but the three tile gap is still a big improvement on a four tile gap default with TS2. And since you are pretty much stuck seeing neighboring lots, with only a three tile gap it can be difficult to find a good viewpoint. Plus, you're hearing bits and pieces from the neighbor lots...doorbells ringing, snippets of conversation and flirting, toddler babble. The urban feel is definitely there in my 'hood, and I'd argue that Nanacake's has more of it in the look even though her lots seem to be bigger.
J. M. Pescado:
IIRC, TS2 reacted to various attempts to commit such atrocities by crashing if you built walls right up against the very border of the lot.
Zazazu:
Yup. No walls along the edge, but you could keep the effect through the use of a faux party wall, a wall segment that ran perpendicular to the edge on both sides of the house.
