Micro Lot Living Discussion

[McHazy]

Ok, I've had a try and managed to come up with a minimalist building shell. (I have furnished and play tested it, and it works fine). Here it is in Twinbrook.



I've uploaded it to the exchange - here is the link http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8131229

Edit: I should add that I always "start small" when starting with a new family. No money cheats, the challenge for me would be to add to the lot as the family makes money (and only adding a floor when a new generation arrives is a great idea too!)

I'm working on mine and was having a very hard time enjoying it.  I chose IP as I want to explore deep sea diving (pun intended     ).  I was finding it difficult to find a lot that was small, they are all around 20 x 30.   The only ones I could find were the two in town.  I moved the Collins family out to a nicer home and then moved my sim there.

That is were it got to me.  I felt trapped, a house on one side and a business on the other, the park across the street.  Moved it to a lot that is 20 x 30, but fenced it to the size of the lot, which was 12 x 15.  I couldn't find any smaller, so I put up a fence that is 12 x 15 and that is the size that I can play with.  The lot is bigger, but I am going to play that as its real size.  Ocean on one side, the hills on the other side, a house that is down the road and a path to a beach area. 

This is a challenge for me because I love big lots, nice size yard, pool, pond, a zen area to sit and relax; and lots and lots of rooms.  Never play on a lot that is smaller than 40 x 40, unless it is a starter home.
