    Let me clarify. You want to know how to put down an empty lot into your game?

    In Edit Town mode you see your options like move lot and bulldose? Under all those is lots, it sorta looks like a grid. Once you click on that it will give you all the lot size options availalbe.

    Once you pick one and your trying to place it, it can be tricky sometimes, much of the time it will "snap" to the road, if not use the < and > buttons to rotate. Once you have it down It defaults it to residential I believe. There is a button on the lot summery (when you click on the lot) that has options for community lots.

    Warning, not many places have room for the really big lots and if you  move your large lot/home to another town/world you may not find room for it and might have to delete an existing lot in order to put yours in its place.

    Its really easy on The Sims3 in your bottom left corner of the screen when your playing the game it has 3 dots click on them then go on Edit Town Then there will Be options you can chose from on Edit Town you click on the sign that looks like apen and paper click on them and empty lot spaces come up in different sizes click on one of them and place it on the town if the lot your going to place is red you cannot place it there but if its green you can. Hope this helped!
