So I have the Sims 3 for xbox 360. I wanted to know when I start a new game, the only options I have is to buy already made homes (walls, flooring, etc) is there a way to buy a house lot without that house built there so I can make a new house? I want to buy a large lot to make a giant house, but the game doesn't allow me to buy empty areas with no house on them.. Created by Joe. games-recreation-en - video-online-games-en

You have to buy one of the houses and then either tear down the house or there is a vacant replacement lot. To replace, go to town view and select your house to interact. Choose to replace and you'll see a lot with just a mailbox and trashcan you can pick. I think the largest usable lots are where the gothic house is and where the Landgraabs live by the ocean.
