I tend to use DinkORama for the main residential area of my neighbourhoods, occasionally using EasyEstates, EasyQuad or maybe DinkBlossom for a little variety. I mainly use 2x3, 3x2 or 3x3 residential lots, which fit nicely in the DinkORama terrain. There's not a great deal of wasted space. Since you have said you use smaller lots, then the Easytown one would have a lot of wasted space in it that you'd have to fill with decorations.
How many 'hoods do you have? Once I finally clean my game up, I'll only have two. And it's only becaues I'm holding onto the second one for general purposes (to test houses, keep CAS sims, to play out the storyline etc.)
Currently playing 3 'hoods. Riverblossom, Strangetown and a custom Legacy style hood. I periodically decide I'm sick of my current sims and wipe the neighbourhoods I'm playing. Riverblossom isn't really interesting me that much currently, so I may wipe it soon. Or maybe I'll just take a break from it until those sims seem fresh and interesting again.
I did some terrain surgery on my current version of Strangetown and replaced the terrain with one of the efficiency terrains, and now have sufficient space for subsequent generations. I usually end up running out of room in the standard Strangetown, especially as a lot of the terrain is sloping. I replaced the terrain the last time I was playing PV, too.
I use custom terrains to build my own uni and downtown for each neighbourhood I play. So between my 3 current neighbourhoods, I'm using 8 custom terrains (2 main hoods, 3 unis, 3 downtowns). The Efficiency Terrains get a lot of use in my game, and while I have my favourites for main hood, downtown and uni, I like to have a bit of variety and occasionally use another terrain.

The only additional NPCs were the pet police and the pet trainers - plus the two families in the bin - and then the strays. All will be squashed by the empty P001 template.

What about people townies? Or were the strays the new townies? *notveryimpressedwithmEAxis*
No people townies with Pets - only NPCs and Cyd Roseland.

Since the questions on this thread have been answered, I guess it's OK to go a little off-topic?
Does anybody here play the Jade-style way? With an intergrated economy?

Jade-style? Linky?
I can barely keep attention to one family for three generations, much less a neighborhood for more than a couple months, so I've been through lots of custom hoods. I have five on my computer now, but V-ville and Kendry (custom) are about to be trashed. I hate it when I have to hit that arrow button.

Unfortunatly, Jade's site is no longer around. She was a great simmer with lots of ideas - her "community" way of playing could inspire even the most fidgety simmers to stick to a project. If you're intrested, I could explain her way of simming to you. It was fairly complex but well worth it once your neighborhood had critical mass. Her posts on it here are no long gone.
I prefer to stick to one thing at a time - I can't stand scrapping hoods because I always seem to spend so long on them. I plan to only have two (one to play out a story and one Jade-style) but ATM I have 2 Maxis' + 4 custom ones.
