Summer's Little Sims 3 Garden: The Sims 3 Neighborhood / World Lot Sizes

Scroll down a little to go straight to the lists if you're in a hurry!

Working with CAW (Create-A-World tool) and Edit Town in The Sims 3 is always fun, but it can be a challenge. I've made these lists of lot information (with pictures!) to make the process of creating in CAW and Edit Town much easier. The main point of these lists is so that you don't have to load up certain worlds and write down lot information every time you need to know something about default EA venues. I love The Sims 3 a whole lot, but loading things can take a while. Here are some things that I use these lists for:

Community Lot Information

I always use this info while creating in CAW to decide if certain EA buildings/venues will fit in my custom worlds.
If I'm creating a custom venue, but I want to make sure that it has all of the right items for that venue type in it, I may pull up a picture of the venue.
If I want to match a venue I'm working on in Edit Town to the color scheme of a particular EA neighborhood, I will use pictures from here and Photoshop to make sure that I get the right color match (using Print Screen) so that I don't have to load up a bunch of different lots, or that neighborhood, while I'm working.

Empty Lot Information

If I've downloaded or purchased a new venue or residential lot, I may check to see if a certain town has the right lot size for my new building.
These lists may help if you are trying to decide which town has the right amount of empty lots for whatever you're planning to do, such as a trailer park or row of houses.

Lots with Houses Information

Sometimes I will use an entire row of The Sims 3 residential homes from one of their neighborhoods/worlds in a custom world of my own. I really only like building houses if I'm inspired to, and these lists save me time. But jotting down the info for all of the lot sizes is very dull, and is time-consuming.
Many times I will place buildings in my custom worlds using CAW's Edit Town feature. A lot of times I also want to put the original families that owned the lots into those houses, but if there are a lot of houses it can be hard to remember which family went with which lot. That is why I've included the "Occupied by:" information.

Side Note: It was tricky to decide what to do about lots added to previous worlds by The Sims 3 team as new expansions come out. I decided to list them as the expansion lot that was placed there rather than as empty lots. I may go back and add them to the lists of empty lots eventually as well, but that would happen after I finish listing lots for all of the neighborhoods. I'm sorry if this causes any confusion for anyone, but I have added notes to indicate if a lot came from an expansion, and that the lot is empty otherwise.

Leave a comment if there are any improvements you can suggest, or if you want to tell about how you use these lists!
