I'm trying to build a new lot for a roller skating rink. My other rink lots were outdoors, so I categorized them as parks. Thing is, no townie / npc sims seemed to use the rinks themselves. What lot type should I use to get townies to actually use the rink?

as for what lot...i've seen most on the gallery to be gyms. i've made my ice skating rink (...from simsvip) into a cafe, just because it already had most of the stuff for that lot type. just wish they could order cocoa from the barista
I think their going to have to patch skating rinks like they did with pools so sims will use them.
I still dont know why we didn't get a skating lot type.
I'm hoping that they'll just make a skating lot type as well and I'll just separate my pool from my indoor ice-skating rink.
Try bar and see if that works.
@crinrict does this feel like a possible bug to you?
I tried bar and it didn't work. Sims just used any other object on the lot except for the rink. I tried lounge again just to make sure and nothing happened either. That first time I did it probably was just a fluke then.
Seems like no lot type really works then. This is a pretty big oversight from them.
It's a hidden skill.
ahh thank you @luthienrising

I just think its lazy and poor with the continue of using base game lots instead of a lot especially for the special lots.
A lot for each type would be better.
you wouldn't have to use it.
we all have a chose of free will on what we use and don't use!
having it available at least gives a chose everybody can decide on.
Also have sims come by and skate for a while just like they use the picnic tables in the neighborhood areas where they generate instead of just walking by. Just have fewer walkways and more sims doing neighborhood activities lot more interesting. I find sims just walking by in a circle quite boring myself.
The way they did bowling actually gave us more options than just adding a bowling venue would have. If it had just been one bowling venue, every bowling alley would have the exact same visitor autonomy. But with the way it's currently done, we can have bowling lots where the guests behave differently based on what the venue is (ie. a nightclub bowling alley gives a very different experience than a lounge bowling alley). I hope they do the same with the skating rinks as they did with bowling.
