Firstly - thanks SO much for this. It was really needed.
As for the movie lot - sadly, there isn't really a good place to put it that doesn't require a lot of fiddling. The movie lot is pretty large. Here's what a friend of mine had to say:
After a small bit of fiddling I was able to find a place to put the movie lot. It's not where I'd like it, and I had to sacrifice some vacant residential lots for it, but I was able to place it. I put it at the top of the hill, near where the Rackets have their mansion. Between the road and the hillside are 2 40x40 lots and a slightly smaller lot (30x20 maybe? not sure). I deleted those 3 lots, then placed the 64x64 lot. It still took a bit of moving about to find a place where the game would let me place it. On the first time I tried, it did clip the hillside behind it, but with the fence around the lot (and other stuff along the back of the lot) it didn't look too bad. The back fence sort of looked like a retaining wall. I exited without saving, went back in, and tried to place the 64x64 lot again in that spot. Found a better place to put where it was closer to the road and didn't clip the hillside, except for a teeny bit in the back left corner. Again, with the fence around the lot the teeny bit of clipping didn't look bad. After placing the movie lot I was able to add one of the 40x40 lots back. There's a narrow bit between the residential lot and the movie lot. I'll go back at a later time and see if I can put a small lot (20x20 or so) in the space. Maybe make a small part or stick a taco truck on it. I'd prefer it not to be in a residential section, but closer to downtown or by one of the other rabbit holes. Ah well.
I do wish LynxAQ would go back and edit the world to add the Movie Lot. It would probably be easier to add it using the World Builder to create a new location for it, rather than forcing us to sacrifice some of the few 40x40 lots available. I have several 40x30 lots, and EA has made several as well, and with the lack of lots those size in Sunset Valley (most are 30x40 -- short end goes along the road rather than the long end) the next best place to stick them is on a 40x40 lot.
Again, thank you very much :)
I just changed the city hall to the public services building from late night so that I had the military base and then put the movie lot where the military base it
