Mega Lot Size for huge builds
MiguelGoreGrinder
I am one of those players that enjoys building absolutely massive projects. Currently I'm working on a huge commercial build that features an outdoor music venue surrounded by several store fronts and restaurants. The problem I noticed is once I get to 750x750 in the island setting) the game immediately crashes. I wish I could go up to 1200x1200 to properly finish my project. Perhaps I maybe unrealistic in my request due to engine constraints but that would be awesome if that becomes a possibility. Perhaps removing the water and making it a plain sand desert type setting might help?

хотелось бы видеть совсем пустой участок со снятыми ограничениями по ширине,глубине и высоте

Miguel, If I'm understanding your post correctly - you've been able to get 750 x 750 = 562500 m^2 (approximately 139 acres)? The most I've every gotten is 24000 m^2 (approximately 6 acres). I also love making extremely large builds, and would love to be able to build on 139 acres. I am playing the game on a fairly high-end gaming PC. I feel like I should be able to make the island map as big as I want, but can't seem to get passed 24000 m^2 (6 acres). Is there a setting you use in the island map to get it that big?

Adam Duvall Adam, Perhaps I should have been more clear the dimensions I was talking about come from when you use the land expansion tool I was able to create a max size of 750 x 500 (feet?) before the game became unstable and started crashing repeatedly. I think similar to you that land mass was only equal to around 5.7 acres. My current build which I unforntunately can't play at the moment requires roughly 8 acres to properly complete. I'm hoping a future update will increase the stability for larger builds. Even so I probably have too many decorative items and the engine is having a rough time rendering everything even with all lights turned off. I was even thinking some kind of room/ layering system would be great where you could optionally turn off entire areas from rendering until one is finished building? Idk perhaps its all wishful thinking. Cheers man!

MiguelGoreGrinder Thanks for clarifying! After reading your post, I was getting my hopes up ;) I have a few projects going one is re-building the amusement park from the Scooby-Doo update. I re-made the Burger Castle into some more like a legit castle, re-made the roller coaster into a much bigger ride, and am trying to add a water park. The water park idea isn't working out so well though, we don't really have stuff in the game that I think would work. The other thing I wanted to do was similar to what you're doing - a city-type build with commercial buildings, restaurants, and a music venue. I also built a mini-golf course and hotel. Both builds, the amusement park and city build, maxed out around 6 acres. Other posts I've seen on here mention about 6 acres as the limit. So, that might be the most we can have at the moment. I'm hopeful too about increasing it. Also, the height limit. The hotel I'm building only goes about 4 - 5 stories. So, I'm making walls and floors out of the cube, then using the move tool to place them. It's a pain especially when adding windows and furniture. That hotel has a bunch of neon lights that I leave on all the time. I thought maybe the lights/furniture were causing building limits, but if 6 acres seems to be the limit for most people who have posted on Canny, I think it would be the limit regardless of lights/furniture items. Here's to wishful thinking on building MASSIVE projects...cheers back at ya!
