@TickleOnTheTum: Did you ever use S3PE to customize an .xml? Did you customize Inge's mod with your own lot sizes? Adding the icons is very easy in S3PE. I think I listed all necessary steps in the instructions in the main post (you'll have to click the spoiler button to display them).

@crybabygirl777: That's odd. Do other .package mods work for you? What's your patch level?

@TickleOnTheTum: This looks all correct to me. Type and Instance ID fit and the .xml changes too. Could you upload the package somewhere, so that I can test it?

@TickleOnTheTum: The .xml resource got corrupted somehow. I couldn't even export it in S3PE. But after editing my own to your values and importing it from file (overwriting yours) it worked. I also updated the .dll to the latest with the bug fix. I've attached the fixed package. Let me know when you got it, so that I can delete it. (You could also delete yours.)

Can you add more than two default lot sizes?

@TickleOnTheTum: Excellent!

@Inge Jones: Yes, it reads in an array, so any number should work, though I only tried with two.

My patch level is the current one (1.32) and I have no problem with other packages, including other ones made by you - for instance,the Simport Rewards Unlocked one works fine.

In that case I am going to post a link to this mod from my thread at simlogical recommending that people switch to using this, seeing as it does everything mine did and more :D

@crybabygirl777: Do you get the default lot sizes at least with the question mark lot icon? Or nothing? If you type help in the console, is the AddLotSize command listed there with short usage info? I'm really puzzled by this. I've just downloaded the package myself, just to see if the latest version got maybe corrupted in the zip, but it worked fine.

@Inge Jones: Thank you

This is cool. I use Inge's mod for this but seeing as even Inge is suggesting the switch, I'm getting this RIGHT NOW! LOL!

I've been waiting YEARS for this. The fact that you couldn't make 30x40 lots drove me insane. Thank you sooooooooooo much for this. You have no idea how much I love you right now. It is completely insane that EA makes lots at these weird sizes and then forces you to place some huge lot down just to fit it with all this extra space.

@derek_pearce: Do other package mods work for you? Which OS are you on? You're the second person that reports that it doesn't work for them, but I'm not sure what the reason could be.

@Bluebird2006: If you follow the link under the "Install Instructions" tab of the post, you'll find step by step instructions. This is a package mod, so follow the instructions for that and you should be good to go.

@TickleOnTheTum: That's what I call dedication. I hope it keeps going well for you. You're very welcome. It was a pretty easy change in the code. Creating all the icons is the really hard work.

The Mod works perfect now Thank's for fixing.

This is great velocity! I have a curious question about your picture you posted if you don't mind, I noticed that you have what looks like a tunnel system connecting to the road, how did you accomplish that, and does it work or is it deco?

@Elfykins: The world is armiel's, not mine! It's linked in the credits. And no, it doesn't work. My sims always walk over the mountains to get to the other side. Which is not really a problem, though, since the world is specifically meant for building, not playing.

Wow, I've been waiting for this mod! This is very helpful. I used this like crazy last night when updating Lunar Lakes with the SHT lots and a few custom lots.
