Hi everyone who reads this lol.  I have decided to make several lots without using custom content. Some will be base game and others will be with expansions. My reason for taking this on is that I was always concerned about lot file sizes. It is easy for me to make a lot that is well over 20mb using custom patterns, terrain paint and objects.

I wasn't aware that using CC can cause problems with another players game. All my CC comes from TSR and is TSRAA only.  So far I have made 2 lots without CC and one is with expansions and the other is base game and both homes are totally different.

I plan on leaving these lots unfurnished to keep file sizes down and also let the downloader decorate with their own CC or EA store items.  I have no idea who download my lots and then get inside and strip it and then redecorate to their liking. It takes a lot of time in the design tool to change patterns on walls, cabinets and objects and since I am not doing that, I can really make many No CC lots in a quicker amount of time.

This has actually been fun then a challenge but their have been times I wish I could have used a CC pattern on something because I don't always like what EA has to offer lol.

You can read the thread I posted about lot file sizes here http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=386409  We have done our own testing and research on why lot file sizes can get very large.

Here is a pic of my first No CC lot but only using WA and Ambitions expansions and you can also see more pics in Simalot forum and the post is called (No CC lot, LOOK!) Thanks for reading and feedback is always welcomed :)
