Any news on this? I have wanted this from day ONE of playing the game, which was only about a month ago. Bumping this thread with extreme prejudice. We can't let this one die, folks.

The rectangle shaped pre-made lots are the worst because it limits where you can put the house and until you actually place the lot, you have no way of knowing how the house is oriented on the lot. I would like to be able to adjust the lot sizes to match since a lot of pre-made communitly lots are such odd sizes, none of which are available using the world editor tool in "Edit Town" mode.
Everything you build/create should be able to be captured as an object and then you could place that object on any (big enough) lot at any position you like. Please EA for once do something nice for your community.
I soooo need the ability to shift a house's location on a lot. I built a house on an odd-sized 36 x 47 lot and realized the house was too large for the lot because I wanted to put a swimming pool and other things in the yard. Fortunately, I was able to move the house to a 60 x 60 lot but it's in the very center of the lot. It would look so much better proportionately if I could move it towards the edge of the lot and add the other outdoors amenities and landscaping I want.
Adding my voice to this!!! i just chose a really cute little house for my YA sim to move out of her parents house and into. But i also wanted it up in the hills in riverview, which means a fairly large lot. im going to have to do some creative architecture to make it look reasonable lol. the driveway is like 6 squares away from the road!!
Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Maybe even some mod? Please, I really need this to move my house a couple of blocks because I want to make something.
Haha I have had this happen to me soo many times... I usually end up catching it early, or just modifying the structure as I see fit. Not sure If they could actually do it, but this would be a great thing to look into trying.
ETA: adventfear: If that's what I think it is, that looks like a solution.
~I don't know if people still read this, but we really need this. It happened to me and I stumbled across this forum in search for answers, and now I'm frustrated that they don't have anything for it. I want to contact EA and tell them about looking in to it, but for one I don't know how, and for two I think that honestly they wouldn't do anything about it. I fully support this!~

It came in Patch 1.55. o_O
When you place a house, you can see lot controls on the bottom right-hand side.
It would be nice if you could hold Control+Shift then using the hand, move whatever is attached to what you grab (aka: the whole house).
Easy to implement that way, with a control and shift drag
Like my resort lot, the pool lines up with the tower, but the main building is off by one block.. Annoying
But yes, as far as repositioning a house on the lot, supposedly, in this last patch, when you place a house on a new lot, you can move it around on the lot a bit.
I always have this issue!!! Usually I use the pre-made houses but I always have horses and its very difficult to build a barn, indoor arena, pastures, and training facilities around a house that's right smack in the middle of the lot. How hard would it be to make a tool that allows you to pick the house up and move it? I really hope to see this soon or in Sims 4.

Sims 3 has that tool, in a form, with the lot positioning controls.
Sims 4 has already demonstrated you can pick up and move rooms around... moving a whole house isn't that difficult with that.

I have wanted this since TS2!

Agreed. As it sits, it's an utter waste of space for someone like me.
Please, let's have a group object move tool!
You mean like this?
