Lot assignments control the number and types of Sims that visit a lot in The Sims 3 and its expansion packs. They can also cause moodlets to appear, boosting moods or skill building. Every lot in the game has an assignment. Assignments can be set for a unique world using the Create a World tool, they are preset in premade neighborhoods, but can be changed using Edit Town. Rabbit holes also change lot assignments. Some assignments are locked for use in-game, or can only be used in certain sub-neighborhoods.
Residential
Residential is one of the two primary lot categories. Sims can live on residential lots.

Map tag
Map tags are clickable, interactive buttons that spring up from the birds-eye view when in Map View. They feature icons related to the type of lot. Map tags also generate for opportunities and adventures. It can also show if the lot below is a rabbit hole or not as red tags say the lot is a rabbit hole (except in vacation locations, merchant is also marked by red, however the markets are not). If a tag is blue, it is a community lot and the player can see on the lot or it is your sim's workplace. A green tag represents the player's household he is currently playing. If there is a Plumbob above the map tag, your selected sim is at that current location (for example if the sims is in the theatre it will show a plumbob above the theatre tag).
