I’m taking a break from my normal house building and am currently attempting to make a bakery. I usually never make community lots so I’ve never really paid much attention to what would go into it which made me curious: What type of items do you all like or prefer when your simmies go to those places? Just in general, not necessarily for a bakery lot. Lol
For my bakery of course I’ll do the requisite kitchen, bakery racks, and other stuff but I’m curious what things you all like or even prefer having your sims go to
Here’s the bakery I’m attempting right now.
It’s a work in progress so it’s kinda rough. Lol.

The art gallery in Aurora Skies had a café and also a music scene with instruments, as did the dive bar, the prisma studio had every fantastic machine there is in the game and the big park before it got run over by a horse stampede had a hot air ballon as well as other places for adult play.
My new library has a fire place and seating places if course, but not much else than 12 book cases now being filled with 'masterpieces' by my author sim.
In the temple I'm building now there is a dance floor, stereo, bar, juice keg, 'the hypnotizer', fire place, shower, buffé table, a throne and of course, a bed..
Otherwise, it depends on the kind of lot. My Gyms all get dressing rooms/showers - and fancy ones get saunas, hot tubs and massage tables as well.
Java Huts usually also get chess tables, bookshelves, reading areas, and sometimes a small stage with a guitar or an easel out back.
I try to have some way of meeting key motives. A library may get a rocking chair or two, and if not an actual food stand, at least a couple vending machines.
Other than meeting motives, activities available usually depend on the theme of the lot. Even rabbit-hole lots like the diner will have a diveable dumpster in the back.
But I usually, probably always, include them anyway outside of the tombs just to be realistic.

I didn't know this, thanks for letting us know. I sometimes don't have room for bathrooms on a tiny community lot and go to ridiculous lengths to squeeze them in.
That's why I love the all-in-one bathrooms.
Yes, I have used those before.
You didn't say anything about being on the non-tomb marked portions of the lot making any difference. The only time my sims ever stay on those lots for any length of time is always in the tomb areas.
I also wanted to say about the bathroom as mentioned above. In general they (the simmies) need solutions for their conatant needs - hunger, bathroom, and a shower when applicable. Also it is pretty important to give them space. some CC lots, or even EA lots are to small / with to mant stairs per lot. For example there is a restaurant in Island Paradise that is pretty small, and have like 3 floors. Half the time my simmies were occupied with going up and down instead of just sitting quietly and eat... I guess i prefer one big floor for some lots. Also some objects tend to be annoying because they are like magnet to sims and the sims just don't do anything else if those objects are there. I built a restaurant with a dancing carpet, music, tables, buffet, guitar and--- the tea table. all the sims were waiting in line to the tea table... Also I built a costumized school and tried a hospital too - and the chemistry table is just a bomb, and not in a good way sims kept burning themselfs...
Also general advise for any lot - music is always nice and gives certain atmosphere to the place. as well as lighting. if you build some bar - make the lighting in a special color, it's really cool.
Yeesh, these forums can be exhausting sometimes.

@jillbg the lot IS somewhat country themed so I can have a convenient haystack artistically situated nearby
@igazor I never knew that about the bladder need freezing when there’s no bathroom/toilet on the lot! Thanks for the info. Learn new things about the game all the time
And there I was all this time, praising my own cleverness to choose steel bladder for all my sims
