Same size as Brindleton Bay. 15 lots.
Most are larger lots it seems though.
@3:30 and again at @7:30
It's hard to see all of them, but they are there
Not every lot has a marker on it.

Larger than Get Famous which I like, Brindleton Bay/Newcrest is as small as I'd want it to get though
I guess the City Living/Windenburg sized worlds are behind us now.

I counted 15. 3 near the volcano, and 6 on either other bit. It could be 14 tho. There is one that I'm not sure of.

I'm glad the spaces are large. But I do think that anything smaller than Brindleton Bay is too small.

I'm happy with 14 as the spaces are open and the lots seem bigger than usual. If the lots were normal sized, I'd be angry. But for now, it meets expectations.
I would have liked it to have exceeded them though. I'm guessing having the Volcano actively going meant less lots on the Island area.

I'm telling myself that because it's an island, it is okay to be a little smaller than the big worlds we used to get. Do you think we got 14(+/-) lots because they are going to 64 bit?
Nah. I think they are cutting back on the amount of lots so they can have more world styles. They said that too many lots in the game causes performance issues, so I think they're trying to make sure we get different types of worlds more often, then bigger worlds less frequent.

Since this is an Island pack, I am glad they spend so much on the water rather than on the lots. If this was in a big city, or dessert I would be dissapointed but then again the water is fully featured in this world so I am fine

I think the neighbourhood in the bottom right has got 6. Therefore 14 in my opinion
Keep in mind that those lots are surrounded by community areas. So if there are 3 hoods there are 3 such areas which probably contain good sites too. Maybe the beach(es) are on public community ground, and not on a specific lot. The volcano area might be visible and not being on a lot. Some party community ground or wild nature might be on a third public ground. So 10-12 lots might not be that bad.

Thank you!
I wanna say I think this generous for an island world. Look at how huge the map is!!!
People love comparing everything to Windenburg, forgetting that the pack Windenburg came with had pretty much nothing else going for it, except the clubs, which aren't even as elaborate as they should be. I'll always take a smaller map with more gameplay features over the opposite, and this one isn't even small, it's medium-sized, still bigger than Del Sol Valley, StrangerVille, Forgotten Hollow, Magnolia Promenade and both vacation worlds.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
