The weirdest thing to me is that 40x20 lot in Gilbert Gardens. The only other 40x20 I can recall is the one in Newcrest and it was a pain to find lots to download because it was such a one-off thing that nobody really built anything for it.

That one was such a pain! 40x20... Who even comes up with a weird size like that, and what are you supposed to build on it? It seems like even the developers aren't sure, since we only have two of these weirdos so far and they're both empty, so we, the players, can rack our brains about it instead.

It's possible to rotate lots when you place them and after you place them, so they face the right way towards the street.

You can rotate the house and its surroundings on the lot, but not the lot itself. Depending on how the house is built, this can become a problem. If I had a simoleon for every time I tried to place a house from the gallery somewhere, but the wrong side was facing the street and I couldn't easily change it without destroying the entire layout, I could buy the entire TS4 collection again.

You just need to look for a bigger lot that accommodates the lot you're trying to place down entirely, then you can rotate it any way you want. You can even place the same lot several times in a larger lot. But I agree that it's easier to just download lots that were created for that specific lot address. Even so, I've seen people on Youtube build with the front of the house facing backwards to the back of the lot because the lightning was better on that side of the lot and it looked better on Youtube.
