You can unlock 9 more plots in the normal game and up to 25 with mods. You can buy new plots if you reach milestones during the game, like reaching a certain amount of citizens.

With the unmodified game, you can purchase 8 plots aside from the one you start with for a total of 9. With a mod, you can play with a total of 25 squares (the entire 5x5 board).

You can unlock 9 default, but there's a mod that unlocks ALL buyable spaces (25).

You unlock by reaching mile-stones, you can see how far you got to go for the next in the bottom left.
To reach mile-stones, you have to get the reqiured population.

I have 5 slots filled I believe (I use the mod because more space = yay) Anyways, 5 slots.. Population of 115k. FIVE slots. Roads are a bit of a mess, not gonna lie. Lawl. But you'll never run out of space, seriously.

You'll crash before you run out of space with the 25 slot mod. But you have 115k pop with just 5 slots? My city has 57k with 8 slots unlocked lol.

You can hit 100k pop with two tiles. It won't be a pretty city, but it can be done. I have a 300k city with 25 tiles purchased, but I'm only using 8 of the tiles. The rest are vacant (for now).

Yeah I'm hoping I will be able to get a new PC later in 2015, my game is lagging pretty bad as it is now.

just to clarify what some people already said you can unlock 8 parcels to purchase so 9 total including the original one you are given at the beginning. With mods you can unlock the remaining slots upto 25 but it's not recommended unless you have a pretty beefy computer.

What would be considered "beefy"?

Is it more about CPU grunt, how much RAM, GPU performance or combo? (ie, what's the bottleneck that causes a "non-beefy" computer to not be able to handle the full 5x5).

Can we try and determine a benchmark for the specs of a PC able to go the full map size?

(Not have game yet <sad>, but gaming rig = i5-4690K, 16 GB RAM, GTX770 4GB vRAM, Win7 + Steam on SSD, community reckon that do it?)

What determines whether your PC can handle a bigger population? CPU or Graphics Card?

You'll be able to run it good, I have to play on low with 15 FPS, and I'm only on 8 slots and 58k pop lol.
