We have already got lots in the sims 4 but i think we need more so far we have
Gym (base game)
Spa (Spa day)
Restaurants & diners (dine out)
Bars - nightclub, lounge, karaoke bar, normal bars (base game, city living)
Art gallery (city living)
Museum (base game)
Vacation homes (base game)
Park (base game)
National park (base game)
Coffee shop (get together)
Community space lots (eco-lifestyle)
Bowling ( bowling night stuff)
Beach (island living)
Pool (base game)
Vet clinic (cats & dogs)
Retail (get to work)
Special lots the bluffs ( get together)
Skiing , sledging & zen baths (snowy escape)
Phew I think I've remembered them all 😂
I'm hoping we get
A proper cinema
A salon (changing hair colours and styles, plastic surgery lol)
Shopping centre ( mall) sims actually buying their clothes instead of it being all available
Supermarket (grocery store)- sims are actually having to buy their food via shop or delivery, they could grey out the food options on the fridge until your sims buy
Theme park
Casino
Arcade
Have you got any ideas of Community lots ?
Edit: ooh I forgot we have library ( base game) and canteen ( Discover University) 😂 and with seasons and movie hangout being creative we can make an ice skating rink and roller skating lot and a sort of cinema but I would like a proper one, sorry can you tell I wrote this whole list by memory 🤣

I would like to run a hotel in my game, I think we have a police office but it ties with a career in get to work @BellaBerryCafe
Bowling isn't a venue, neither is canteen, neither is skiing or sledging. City Living introduced the Arts Center too, not Art Gallery.
There are also Vet Clinics introduced with Pets.
That being said, I'd like to see:
Farmers market/grocery stores - sims having to actually buy ingredients to make food, minus quick meals. Sims now leave the store holding grocery bags after making a purchase and the check out is made at the register. New fish and meat coolers and crop selling displays.
Hotels - allows renting of separate rooms and can be put anywhere as an alternative to rentals for vacationing; allows multiple households to check in via the front desk; sims can order room service, use the exercise equipment or have fun with the pool slides.
Medieval fair grounds - sims will dress as if they are in the medieval times here, have sword duels, compete in archery contests, buy medieval themed food, drinks and clothes, pour nectar from a cask, play the lute, and be crowned the king or queen of the fair. New jester NPC that spawns in this venue and will entertain sims (this could honestly be a GP).
Boutiques - boutiques sell exclusive high end clothing, shoes and jewelry that cannot be instantly accessed from CAS. Boutiques include changing rooms (with changing room woohoo), check out at register, ATM machines and round shaped ottomans. When worn, clothing from boutiques can influence a sim's emotion.
Bowling kind of is in my opinion, you place Bowling in a coffee shop or bar, it's a Bowling place 🤔, I wrote the whole list of Community lots sorry I got mixed up with gallery and centre lol , Skiing and sledging kinda is in the sims 4 in my opinion, it's only able to happen in the snowy escape world and a canteen is a Community lot for university students, I love your ideas @Sigzy05
I know what you mean but they aren't rally venues that you can plop down anywhere. Bowling alleys are kind of an in-between.
We could say the same for beaches in the sims 4 😂, I do get what your saying but I personally see them as that, we'll say the Skiing slope is a weird lot it could be anything 😂 @Sigzy05
Tattoo parlors - Sims can get tattoos and piercings. It would be cool to have more types of piercings added to the game that you can only get by going to this lot and not just in CAS. More types of tattoos and places on the body these can be placed.
Tea shop - This would come with a functional tea set and new food items. I would like to see the option for a British style high tea or afternoon tea. It would also be fun to have interactions like "gossip over tea." I guess, if you want to be funny/silly, the interaction could be called "Spill the Tea" and allow sims to talk behind their hands like they're gossiping. I really wanted a traditional Japanese tea set and ceremony with Snowy Escape, but we didn't get one. So... yeah.
Event Venue - Sims could use an event venue to throw large parties, fund raisers, weddings, etc. This venue type would provide a photographer you can hire to take pictures of the ceremony, guests, etc. It would also have waiters you could hire to walk around with serving trays of bubbly and hors d’oeuvre. A small stage for performances would be nice, especially if we ever get bands who can perform at weddings and parties.
Doctor Office - Sims can go here when they are sick to be treated instead of buying medicine online. Your doctor sims can own their own family practice instead of working at the hospital. I would like to see some other ailments added to the game and the ability to treat broken bones/sprains.
It would be good for the developers to update get to work with all your suggestions with the doctors, it would be good to have more use of the hospital we have in the game to be more than career focus and sims giving birth, the same with the suggestions about the police office that @BellaBerryCafe said, oh my goodness how did I forget a tattoo parlor, a tea shop would be great I love my tea and I love the event venue idea, sometimes you don't want your sims houses ruined after a party @bookish_sammy , I love all your ideas simmers 😊
I would also like a nail salon.
Swimmable is a small but missed detail, in the newer worlds the developers added this but I'd love it to be for all worlds, could also be good to cool our sims down in very hot temperatures if the players have seasons, nails and body hair are the two big things that I wanted added to the game for create a sim, a nail & hair salon, tattoo parlor and shopping centre ( mall) sims actually buying all their clothes, along with sims shopping for all their food would also give us more options for our sims to spend money @crocobaura
I like all the ideas given here. Plus:
Laundromat
Junk Yard
Fire Station
Casino
Indoor Soft Play
Ownable Daycare Centre
Shooting Range (if they didn't want to add guns, they could make it a bow and arrow shooting range)
Plus, I would love something like a Go Ape centre or assault course of some sort.
Ooh I really want a casino so my sims can win simoleons and gamble , I loved the daycare career in the sims 3 hopefully the sims 4 generations will be a pack fingers and toes crossed 🤞, I also missed the laundromat aswell perhaps they could update laundry day or make really industrial looking washing machine and dryer that looks very obvious it's for a Community lot, I love all your ideas @elanorbreton
- Movie Theater (I've made them in the game but they just don't work as they should).
- Grocery Store
- Mini Golf / Driving Range
- Daycare
- Sports Field (where multiple sports could be played)...I'm thinking soccer, field hockey, baseball, etc. etc.
- Wedding Venues (as like movie theaters I have them in my game but I'd love a specific wedding venue that will pop up when planning wedding but you don't have random Sims showing up during the event).
- Community Center
- Arcade
I would also like to see Continents, a series based on ... watt for it. Drumroll ....... a series based on continents. I know the Sims are not based on earth and they all speak the same language. But there already a lot of elements of different cultures on earth in the Sims and the Sims lifestyle is based on American culture so it would make sense to have like contents in the sim world based on earth's continents. Maybe even introducing some dialect into Simlish?
Completely agree with your whole post, and I would love even the introduction of being able to combine two lot types to add much more functionality and gameplay.
I’ve picked up on the salon thing because I would love to see this back, it was such a good business in The Sims 2. Plus the base functionality is really already in the game with the makeover chair from Get Famous and the retail system, I just wish things like this were easily customisable.
Hotels are a big one on my list, but I can’t see it being a reality, with the game limitations, you wouldn’t really want a hotel that only had a few sims there at a time.
Or can we just get rid of lot requirements. There are so many types of lots we can create, but since there is no specific lot type for it in the game, the lot can't be used how we intend.
I think it would also be cool to create hybrid community lots. For example, a bowling alley bar/restaurant or a gym/spa. As far as I know you can only make a restaurant with a bowling alley in it but you need to classify it as a restaurant for it to function like one.
I want this
If you want cinemas and arcades, she has a mod for those too.
I'd like:
I cant use mods I'm on console, I wish I had a computer now lol @EmmaVane
