If you started out building a micro home, then realised you really do need more space after all, you can continue to build past the 32 tile micro home limit without penalty. The game will simply recalculate your tile limit for the next tier up. The only drawbacks to building a Tier 2 or Tier 3 tiny home is less gameplay benefits.
Building upwards and downwards will also add to your tile count. No getting away with building a 4-story micro home with 32 tiles on each level. Adding upper floors and basements to the house will eat into the tile limit. You might end up needing to sacrifice that games room down in the basement. Tiny living is all about living with just the essentials in a cozy environment.
The good news is there are still lots of ways to be creative when building a tiny home, despite the lack of building space. Placing down objects from the Buy catalogue will not add to your tile count, so decorate as much as you like! Add interior touches of design, put plants and flowers in the yard, and go to town with giving the outside of your tiny home oodles of curb appeal. Did you have to give up that beautiful deck in favour of a second bedroom for the kids? Why not place a BBQ and patio table in the yard as a compromise?
After going through Create-a-Sim, I built a tiny house, which is a new type of lot, and is broken down into three tiers: 1-micro, 2-tiny, 3-small. Each has a limit of spaces with micro being the smallest, as well as perks that come with living in a tiny home.
Inside I stuck with the green theme and made sure to include lots of house plants. Here is a shot of the living space with a comfy couch and the kitchen off to the side. The table on the covered porch is where your Sims will be eating their meals.
