The Lots and Houses bin is where premade, custom and empty lots are stored to be placed in the neighborhood. In The Sims 2, the lots and houses bin is available from neighborhood view. 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.) and (if it's residential) how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has.

The Sims 2: Nightlife comes with small townhouses with driveways. 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, beaches. 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 can also be found in the lots and houses bin.

The Sims 2 lots and houses bin allows player to place both inhabited and uninhabited lots to the bin. The former, however, is very inadvisable to do. Players should not attempt to do this unless the inhabited lot is a new lot with new family who has no connections to Sims outside the house. Placing them to the lot bin and then to another neighborhood will severely damage the neighborhood because the game will try to duplicate every Sim the inhabitants know.
