30x40 is the best size, but 20x30 can also do. It usually has enough room for a single story house for a few sims with outdoor activities (gardening/greenhouse, chicken coop, swing, telescope,...)
Smaller lots feel a bit cramped unless I add a second level with stairs which I try to avoid. Bigger lots take so much time to build and landscape. Bigger lots are useful for community lots, but I don't need them for residentials
@simgirl1010 <3 your ranch
is it on the gallery one day maybe one of my small time ranchers can afford it before they become an elder
I use 30 X 20 mostly for residential but my main save is my Ranch Legacy. Its on a 64 x 64. Its actually a restart (sigh) but I am still enjoying the work in progress.
I love the night views with all those stars.
The picture of your ranch at night time with the starry skies is lovely! @Bluegayle 🙂 The stars look so pretty in the darkness of the night. The stables area is very nice.
I like 30x30, and below lots. 30x40 feels too big and while building it's a real challenge for me to fill everything up. I do get an occasional feeling like I need a bigger lot when I'm on a 30x30 but then instantly regret it when I move up 😅
