Your solution to lack of ground lots in SM

In San Myshuno there are tons of apartments but only 3 ground floor lots to build on (excluding Myshuno Meadows). All of which are already full. In my game I just pretend the modern business district in Windenburg is part of San Myshuno (it works too, since San Myshuno is supposed to be a seaside town). I've created a few faux apartment buildings to make it look more authentic. What is your solution to the lack of lots?
I was planning to make Myshuno Meadows into a massive multi purpose lot (mall) and I would change the lot type depending on what I was using it for, that was until I found out it was a special lot.

The main problem... Nobody but the sims I send to the park shows up to use all of this great stuff. So I'm waiting for a modder from MTS to figure out how to populate the place and then I'm hoping that it will be a great place for all of my sims to have fun. Most of the apartments are so tiny that there is no room for exercise equipment or objects to entertain themselves.

Yes, it's venue type is a library. It has an adult library and a childs library with a story time area. There's two court rooms, civil and criminal, a police station and cells, a mayors office, a lunch area in the basement and, since CL was added, I've enlarged the outside plaza by the river for a speech area for the politics career.
I would love another blank world like Newcrest but I would like this one to appear to be part of the downtown area for more things that may be added in the future like a style shop or bowling or a movie theater or more retail and restaurants. A river area that sims could stroll along after a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant. Newcrest, to me, looks like it belongs between San Myshuno and Willow Creek. I want the new one to have a definite downtown vibe with tall builds in the close back ground.
Wow, that sounds like a fantastic build! I agree, another blank world would be good. Once you've set it up the way you want it and saved it 'as...' it is easy to use as a template for any future 'new' games.

@Dannydanbo I love your Newcrest! Nicely done!!!
We only have 3 we can use for penthouses but that means you have to bulldoze one of the 3. I really love the star lounge and the high penthouse in Uptown.
The penthouse in the Arts Quarter isn't nearly as high in the sky. Id really love to place that glass modern penthouse maxis placed in our library.
I'm with both of you. I prefer my own builds to Maxis, so I usually bulldoze everything and redo the worlds.
having these extra houses and sims do you find you have more sims wandering around.
My new crest is empty maybe I should go and fill it up.
In my Newcrest, there is only five residential lots out of fifteen. I have about the same amount of neighbors strolling through Newcrest as I do any other world. I've always filled my Newcrest in every save, so I don't know if having any or a lot of empty lots makes any difference.
Yass, builders unite!
