Lot Sizes For Generic Community Buildings?

[RunAmokSims]

I'm asking about the generic buildings that are available in the build/buy mode when you are on a community lot. Is there a way to find out what lot size is needed for one of those buildings to fit? 

I'm trying to add a few lots necessary for some functions in the foreign worlds and sometimes there isn't a lot of room. So I don't want to put a building that would fit on a 30x30 lot on a 60x 60.

This will probably turn out to be a *duh! -slam my head into the desk* moment because there is a really simple answer but I haven't been able to find it.

By "generic buildings", do you mean rabbitholes? If so, I don't know the sizes, but it shouldn't be hard to determine them using Build mode tools. Just place the rabbithole on a large lot and use a fence tool to measure the dimensions around the rabbithole (I'd do it myself, but I should probably get back to my lecture notes, lol).

Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about. Well I guess I know how I'm going to be spending some time.

These are the rabbithole sizes themselves for the Basegame and Riverview. You need at least one tile around on all sides, I think, and you can mix and match. It hasn't been updated, but it should cut down on your work a bit. You just need to find the closest available lot size for the building, or add your own.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: My mistake, if you go through the thread, it's been updated by other members.

Thanks heaps for the link, DeNile!

Thanks so much! I thought there had to be a list somewhere.

That's a great list! I can definitely see our CAWers finding this useful.

You're welcome all! Don't forget to check the other pages for the Late Night, Pets, etc. buildings.

Something to keep in mind is rabbit holes do not have to fit exactly on a lot.  They can overlap the sides of the lot.  Plumbob Backlot usually takes a minimum of a 60x60 lot, but if there are no close neighbors you can actually place it on a lot as small as 30x30.  It will overlap the actual lot but still functions as it is meant to.  This means when you are building a visible shell that might be more attractive than a standard rabbit hole, the rabbit hole can be placed underground in a basement which will overlap and a small building or park can be created in the visible world.  You just need a stairway down to the rabbit hole for it to be used.

It can go smaller still - I fit it on a 30x15. I don't know how much more smaller than that, but I know it didn't fit on 15x15. Also, they don't have to be placed exactly square either. You can rotate them to a angle to make them fit, too.

Another thing to note: some of the rabbitholes require 2 tiles in front of entries to function.
