32 Lot-Adjusted Empty Lots - Sunnyside and Mini Lots

Read more on my BLOG >>

Have you always wanted to build on small 1X1 lots? Or have a smaller sized beach lot for your surfer shack? Well, now you can! I have done all the Lot-Adjusting work for you. 😉

These lots were made with the UC installed. If you don't have all the EPs/SPs (or at least AL/M&G as your highest one,) you prolly can't use these! (I provided links below, for similar "empty lot" collections - some of them don't need all EP/SPs.)

ALL possible lot sizes are included (within the game's original size limit of 6X6) - including Beach lots.

These are perfectly flat lots (well, all except for the beach lots...)

These were made on Lush Terrain, but that doesn't really matter anymore. Whatever terrain you put them down on (Desert, Dirt, Lush, or Cement) the game will change the lot's "base terrain" to match.

The Sun is oriented to the front of the lot.

Lots are shrunk/expanded with Moo's Lot-Adjuster

Lots are cleaned/compressed with Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor.

New easy-to-read Thumbnails made by me.

The lots can be found at the END of your LotBin catalog.

There is No CC used in these empty lots.

To INSTALL: Unzip the "New Empty Lots" folder. Open it and move (or copy/paste) the 32 files into your LotCatalog (Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\LotCatalog). Find the lots by scrolling to the end of your Lot Bin the next time you are in your Neighborhood.

To make them PERMANENT - so they are in your catalog whenever you start a new game - put them here: (These paths are for the UC - your path may be different) - If you want them toward the end of your LotBin, put them in the base game folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\UserData\LotCatalog - If you put them at the beginning of your LotBin, put them in your highest EP folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\UserData\LotCatalog

This set is finally done!

I saw some potential in the Modern Line set over at ATS, but I didn’t like the extra deco here and there and the textures. Some things could be slaved, while others needed slight remapping first (but everything got remapped either way). Some stuff needed to be removed, remade, slots added, whatnot… but I think it all worked out in the end, annnnd you get addon shelves originally by DOT and heavily edited by me. :D

Ok onto more specific details:

There are tons of meshes in this set, but the double bed with drawers (Bed1 in picture) is the MASTER FOR EVERYTHING. Desk3 is ALSO a master for the metal parts everywhere but the beds, since those are not separately recolourable unfortunately.

So basically, keep ‘ATS_ModernLine_1BedDouble_MESH_MASTER’ and ‘ATS_ModernLine_desk003_MASTER’ for everything to work!

Literally almost all of these meshes are originally by Sandy@ATS and the shelves are originally by DOT from her “Screen” set. ALL OF ATS MESHES HAVE THE SAME GUIDS. You’ll need to remove the original meshes if you have them before you use mine, you can’t have both. DOT’s shelves have a new package and a different GUID. Everything should be quartertile enabled where appropriate, and I’m pretty sure I recategorised some stuff.

Also I’ve used the most updated version of all meshes, so most likely, a lot of them are not base game compatible.

A note on desk3– the package was originally used for desk1, but I eventually changed the mesh to that of 3 because it was convenient for me to do that. The GUIDS were changed accordingly (so desk3 package now uses desk3 GUID.)

PRO TIP: if you don’t like the MASTER bed, you can hide it from catalogue and everything will still work, but you must have it in your Downloads folder. Same for the desk.

There are also “tons” of recolours. 31, actually.

My ACOH colours with this nice wood texture I used on a crib before, cause I liked how it looked on the beds at first, but it may not look great on everything. Swatch. There’s one Fission file that uses the same wood texture as these colours.

Of course I used Shasta’s Pirate woods, and also two MALM woods.

I also used some colours from Pooklet with a different wood texture.

Then there’s also basic black and white, using MALM white, if I’m not wrong, as base.

Legs also got recolours: one black and one white, but the white may not be that different from the default grey. XD

The majority of meshes had slots added to them where possible. Check out all the slots for the shelves. :P

Desk1 was remade to be centred on 3 tiles so it’s actually usable. Same GUID. Slots work properly, but Sims will walk through the right side, I couldn’t fix that. Thanks to @crispsandkerosene for the desk I used as base!

All bookcases are actual bookcases, but they’ll show up in surfaces -> misc. The new shelves also go there.

Have some extra shots of the colours and meshes here + closeups of textures on beds.

I think that’s pretty much it. :D

Download. Files are compressed and clearly named. I put the meshes in their own folder for the sake of organisation. I included a collection file, but it requires Pets (both res + comm) and I’ve never done it before so I have nooo idea if it will work. D:

Credits: Sandy/ATS, DOT@TSR, @shastakiss, Michelle@MTS, @pooklet (I should probably start crediting them more often :P), @crispsandkerosene. I think that’s it?!?
