We need bigger lots!

I would really like to see a world without individual lots. Just one big lot with no restrictions that we could build anything anywhere! That way you could build as big or as small as you want, as close or as far apart as you want.

Unfortunately as long as they limit lots to 8 sims - it would sort of defeat the purpose. I was thinking about something like that to make a huge farm - but if every animal took a sims slot like they do in this game - how can you even have a farm and a family and ranch hands to even run the farm?

A while back I downloaded set of painted ladies townhouses (like we had in Sims 2 and 3) - and was quickly disappointed I could not move in my 5 sisters with their husbands and 1 child each into each house in the group because the game counts 8 to a lot even though there was tons of room, each of the painted ladies houses had room for parents and 2 kids +, I could not even place 3 of the sisters and their hubbies and 1 child. Had a similar problem having workers in all the stores in a mall I downloaded as well. Half the stores, bars, restaurants had no one to serve customers even. I did not realize there was also a lot size limit on non-residential as well.

Finally I gave up and since then have not done a thing to any of the big lots we do have - as there is little point - unless they change that at all. I don't recall having that same issue in non-residential lots in Sims 3 though.
