Grid Sizes

Below is a table outlining the minimum grid sizes required to place each Rabbit Hole, in breadth (aka depth) x length measurements, as is the default for the Lot sizes in Edit Town and Grid-Tile-count. Grid size is measured by the minimum number of whole floor tiles, with the entrance as the length whenever possible. This is the smallest footprint of Lot size, exclusive of any decor on the Lot - just the Rabbithole building on its own.

Notes

  1. Multiple Rabbit Hole functionalities in one building shell
  2. Multiple Rabbit Hole buildings on one Lot


Methodology

RH methodology flattened.jpg

For anyone interested who wants to help maintain this page, this is my methodology:

  1. Use corner edges to save time - less fencing needed.
  2. Place the rabbithole building on a lot, until the footprints indicator turns green. I placed the rabbithole's entrance facing the street, so we get a consistent breadth (aka depth) versus length perspective when we place the floortiles down; but for Rabbitholes with corner entrances (eg the Business's Doo Peas Tower), this is still subjective.
  3. Place fences around the building as close to the rabbithole without encountering the "cannot intersect objects" message.
  4. Rabbithole surrounded by fences to mark out the areas to tile.
  5. Use a floortile to get the tile count. This is the Grid Size as documented on this page - 10x7 in this picture.
  6. If the rabbithole has its footprints visible, confirm the footprints are all tiled and fenced in. And that's it!
