THIS is a fantastic idea. I may have to try this! It seems like this would be the most reliable method, and the one that would involve the least chance.

I have that plugin, and am aware of lotplop. I have however read in a couple different places that while there's no problems plopping commercials, but when you plop residentials it almost guarantees that they will be abandoned and never inhabited again. Weirdly I'm actually more concerned with controlling my residential growth than my commercial growth, as it's more likely that a residential neighborhood would be carefully themed than a commercial or business area.

I'm a pretty new player with a good bit of Cities: Skylines experience. This is a whole new learning curve! My main problem so far is figuring out how people carefully plan exactly what buildings they want in their cities. Of course, commercials can be plopped, but residential can't. I know people have methods of controlling what grows - the main one I've seen so far is to zone a space exactly the right size and them demolish-rebuild-demolish-rebuild until you get exactly the right building. However, in order to zone a block of zoning which is exactly the right size for a specific lot, you need the dimensions of that lot. And that seems to be very very hard to find! Of course there's the lot editor, however lots often have cryptic and even completely non-descriptive names. The SC4tool database doesn't show dimensions, and refuses to add my custom buildings. Basically, all I want is the simplest possible tool, which shows me the density level and lot dimensions, for the default buildings and my custom dat files, so I know what size zones I need to build. Does this exist? or, perhaps, do I not need this and am missing something when it comes to trying to control which buildings grow?

Hunting for the title "spite house" (blue&yellow/brown&orange small house). It's so adorable but I have no idea what BAT it is and since I have nothing but a picture I must turn to the crowd and hope someone here recognizes the building! Thanks in advance :-)
