thanks for taking the time to do these

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I wanted to do a trailer park for this city I'm making and it wasted such space using the longest, thinest horizontal lot available in the game. The vertical lots will be perfect! Thank you thank you thank you!

Amazing!
These need to be in the lot template bin though.

If you can get the package files in My Docs/EA Games/The Sims 2/Lot Catalog; you can put them in /Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/TSData/Res/LotTemplates.

What?? Is it SO simple? MaryLou and I, and other modders have tried hard to understand how to turn these lots into templates, to no avail...
*off to put the lots into LotTemplates*

EDIT: Mmmhhh... Well, it's NOT that simple, after all... It doesn't work.

I love these lots and play them in my full game all the time. But, when I try to use them in Numenor's Any Game Starter they are not showing up at all. Any ideas?

A stupid question: How do you have installed them? Using both the CI or the Maxis' installer the relative files go into the Teleport folder inside the real full game; at the moment you have to move them manually, and put them inside the Teleport folder of your AnyGameStarter.

Anyway, can you tell me, please, the configuration about your AnyGameStarter? So I can try to reproduce exactly your.

I have two games in the AGS right now. Game 1 has UNI,NL game 2 has UNI, NL, SS, BV.

Looks like both Teleport folders are empty so I'll copy them over. Sorry to bother if this info was already posted but I didn't see anyone with the same question-maybe I just missed it. Thanks for your help!

I ran CI again on both configurations-just to make sure-and it did not install the files to the Teleport folders in either.

So, I copied the files from the original Teleport folder to both of these game versions and they are now available.

Life is good now! Don't know what I'd do without my Mini Lots! :D

Thanks again, Marylou, for the support and awesome work!

Well, at the moment the only way to get the mini lots in BGS and AGS games is to move manually the files that CI created into the Teleport of the real full game.
But, I can tell you that soon it will be possible to install the lots directly in the Teleport of the BGS or AGS games, simply dragging and dropping them on their icons

I was able to get a custom dorm into the dorm bin, but its probably a lot different for plank lots.

For anyone interested, the new version of the AnyGameStarter and BaseGameStarter now support the "Drag&Drop" installation for the lots: now, installing lots into the mini-games can't be easier

Can these mini lots and your other community mini's be used as beach lots? If not is it possible for you to make a beach lot version of these too, or if someone has already done this could you point me in the right direction? Also, is it not possible to have a 1x6 vertical lot?
Looking forward to using these.

No, they are not beach lots.

No, actually my tests don't work fine; I'm not sure that they could be fixed.

The 1x6 lot already exist: is the 1x5 plus 1 tile for the street.
What you mean is a 1x7 tile? This actually is not yet possible.
Look at the LotExpander, HERE, they are working to get largest lots.

OK thanks MaryLou. I didn't think about the street tile, saw that you had a 6x1 horizontal lot and wondered why there was no 6x1 matching vertical, but there is.
As for the beach lots - can't have everything!

Thanks for these! Can't believe I didn't see them before! Too bad about the beach lots, sometimes there is enough room to make a nice realistic beach but the lots just don't fit! The sizes you have here with your mini lots would've been perfect

A question to MaryLou:

When I try to rename a lot from the Neighborhood screen, I can only type in at most 30 characters, but your lots have names longer than 30 characters. How were you able to do that? I poked around using SimPE and found someplace where I could enter what I thought was a lot name, & it took more than 30 characters, but in the Neighborhood screen, only the first 30 characters appeared. Hope you can help me.
And thanks for Lots, I use them ... well, a lot.

Thank you for creating these lots!

The 1x2 vertical lot sims2pack keep giving me a message that it is broken. I've downloaded it about 4 times and everytime the same thing. If it is me, please let me know what I am doing wrong...if it is the file, could you fix it? I was really looking forward to that one in particular (my luck lately =)).

Thank you!

oh Mary Lou I love you! You have no idea how long I have been craving mini lots, and now I found them! These days in reality, block sizes are getting smaller and smaller (in suburban Australia anyway)
thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!
