This is one of those details that most simmers seem to have a distinct preference.
A 30x20 is my preference. I rarely have more than three sims in any household in my rotation. The really big lots take forever for sims to get anywhere on them. The smaller lots don’t allow me to decorate the way I like.
What’s your preference?
30x20 here too, or even smaller.
I played for years in a potato (ts2) and got used to very small lots 🙂
It kinda stayed.
EDIT: played with a potato... hihi, not fitting in the potato .
20x20 isn’t too bad for a couple or a single sim. I’ve always struggled with controlling my urge to decorate such a small space.😁
I, builder of castles, inaugurator of High Kings and Queens, prefers the rare 60x60 lot!
I need space for staff, horses, dogs, wolves, kitchen gardens, livestock, magical tree groves, ponds, cemeteries and most importantly, dungeons. Large, creepy underground maze dungeons. Now all I need is more monsters for my dungeons!👿
To be fair, I love building on any sized lots, but the largest lots are the closest to a “Neighborhood Editing Tool”. I just want more space to build and live on is all.
It’s a testament to your prowess as a builder that you can create a lot befitting your kingly status on a mere 60x60.
We dare not ask for knowledge of your arcane techniques for we are not worthy…
Unless of course you think we are, then we’re all ears.😁
Since I only play one family and usually have several generations living together I prefer the larger lots. My current homestead is in Chestnut Ridge. It's a 64 x64 ranch and I love it. Plenty of room for gardening, a pool, play area for the grandkids, stables and training area, and space for my farm animals.

Actually this is the first time I've played on a lot this large. I usually go with the 40x30 or 50x50.
I like playing on 30 x 20 lots 🙂 They are not too big but not too small at the same time.
Your homestead ranch is very lovely! @simgirl1010 🙂 Very great design and layout! The animal sheds and chicken coop area is very nice and great horse training and stable area. Very nice kids play area and the pool, hot tub and outdoors dining patio is lovely. The gardening area is great!
Start with 20*15 or 20*20 then when they outgrow that lot move to the next size or two sizes depending on the size of the family/ household
