I agree, I want some bigger lots, but I do sympathise with people who want smaller ones. I always like building the biggest, most luxurious houses I can, but thought I should challenge myself on making something small and was surprised to find that I didn't think it was small enough! Now I know I don't have to build around the garden, but I really did want it to be limited and agree with @gummybear0724 that it should be close together for the most part (I actually like the small one in Windenburg with a lot of space around it, variety is what's it's all about). If there is too much space around the small house, it can look weird. The solution to all of this really, is to be able to set our own lot sizes.
