Thanks Metro. I did have a few more questions, but I've just read the this whole forum topic and my questions were all answered. Now I realize though, that plans I had for my couple will have to be changed because they would have gone against the rules. Off to do a bit of testing and look at property values.

Same here, I had to read through the entire topic to answer all of my questions, else I would have come to at least one wrong interpretation of the rules. It would not take much to make them clear for the first time reader, preventing the need of reading 21 pages of posts to clarify the rules.
I would like to see the second rule under Moving/Playing a House changed to:
For each house you may purchase ONE item from buy mode. You may not move or sell objects while in buy mode. Any items obtained through other game mechanics must be removed from the house/lot before moving out, but the buy mode item must remain.
I think that this would make the third rule obsolete, while making the current last rule absolutely needed (though I would drop the word untouched). We would still need to clarify public/private and gardening. To the end of Moving/Playing a House section I would add the rule:
You may not change any lot in any way that could perpetually change game play or lot values some examples include: leaving books or other objects, planting, stocking ponds, stealing, upgrading items, etc. However, you may harvest, collect, etc. In addition feeding the omni plant is banned.
These rules are longer but clear (I hope). At this point clarifying the rules helps people new to the forum seeing as most others have already read the rules and joined.
