Always see what the market can bear before you sell your land. A little research goes a long way, and will help you not undersell your property. Remember all the things you looked for when looking for a steal? Remember what made it attractive for you to buy it, and promote that when selling it.
There are a few things you can do to make your property more visually appealing. If the terrain is uneven and unsightly, you may want to spend a little time flattening it out. Someone looking to buy who doesn’t want to spend the time terraforming may look at your lot and just move on. If there are any unsightly white splotches (a lot of these are caused by programming, cover them up with some plants. Just right-click, choose “Create” and there is an easy little plant creation tool under the magic wand button.

Terraforming
To get started, right-click your land and select “Create.” The button all the way to the right is the land terraforming button. You can find all the tools for editing your land there. Any foliage you want to add can be found under the “Create” button, which looks like a magic wand.
Editing land’s shape is an inexact science, and can be frustrating. The tools you’ll use the most are Flatten, Raise and Lower Land. The others are even harder to work with and not worth the effort.
When you edit land a small grid of white dots appears around your mouse. This is the area you are affecting. The best way to flatten land is to get an entire section that fits into that grid at your ideal elevation. Then, work your way outward, always making sure a majority of what’s under your grid is at that ideal elevation. Work your way across the whole lot until its uniform.
To create a slope, lower all of one side to your lowest elevation. Then, using even strokes, raise the highest side of your land. Play with the tools over the middle part by using even strokes and you should get an uniform slope.
Also, make sure that passersby know that you’re selling your lot. You’ll need a sign. Create your own by building a 5m x 5m x 5m cube. Then texture all sides of it with a texture that says “Land for Sale.” Go to Section 6 for tips on building and texturing.
