The '''Lots and Houses bin''' is where premade, custom and empty [[lot]]s are stored to be placed in the neighborhood. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the lots and houses bin is available from neighborhood view, and selecting it will allow unoccupied residential lots and unowned community lots to be edited. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the player must enter "Edit Town" mode.

 

There are many premade houses and buildings from the ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and their expansions which can be placed in the neighborhood. They are named only by their style (ex. Craftsman, Victorian, etc.). The names of premade residential lots also include the number of bedrooms and bathrooms they have.

 

''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' comes with small townhouses with [[driveway]]s. In ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', there are premade shops available: a mini mall, a bookstore, and a cafe. In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', there are a couple of premade pet shops and a pet-oriented park. In ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', there are a few vacation lots and a new lot type, [[beach]]es. Stuff packs often provided new, premade lots decorated with objects and architecture made available with the stuff pack.

 

Families from ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', i.e. the [[Kat family]] and the [[Kim family (The Sims 2)|Kim family]] can also be found in the lots and houses bin. They can only be moved in a neighborhood once per game, unlike other family bin families, who can be moved in once per neighborhood. In order to add them back to the lots and houses bin, see ''[[Tutorial:Re-adding Kim and Kat families]]''
