I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
And plenty of room for the Sims to lie down and stargaze. No lying down with their heads under the tables, which is what happened the first time I asked my Sim to stargaze

Tell me more about this urban beach?? It sounds awesome!
origin ID: maureenponderosa
Well as I've said it is a community pool. It has little cabins (I think that is the right word, sorry my first language is not English) where I placed the showers, and then I also placed a bar. In the middle of the pool, I have a little "island" with one of the slides from "Backyard Stuff Pack". My recommendation, if you have "Get Together" is to set a club to hang out in the beach, because I have noticed that community pools are used mostly by elders and children.
I have just uploaded it to the gallery if you want to take a look. My user name is PINK_FUEN and the lot name is Newcrest Urban Beach

WC Commercial district
- Lot 1 (Retail): Retail stores facing the town square. These will be NPC-run stores. I have a small corner store (supermarket; sims can buy produce here as well as ingredients for their recipes), a flower shop (where sims can get seeds; I got a CC seed stand), baby store and antiques store.
- Lot 2 (Library): Town square with a gazebo and the town's library.
- Lot 3 (Restaurant): Town's diner, it's also facing the town square. Next to it I placed some "rabbit holes" stores (i.e. they are not functional) to complete the look.
- Lot 4 (Retail): family-run stores and grup hang outs. I got a bakery and a music shop that are run by a mother and her daughter. Since it's a big lot, I also placed a church (where my sims will get married and where the church club will gather), a bookshop with a basement "cinema" that screens vintage movies (movie club), and a dance studio (for the dance club).
Other lots
- Neighborhood baseball field (classified as gym)
- The Mayflower Inn: it's a multipurpose lot. It's usually classified as a restaurant (a nice-expensive restaurant that serves French cuisine and seafood), but it also works as a spa. It has a big yard with everything ready for a wedding.
- Park: ot's a secluded park outside town, almost a forest, where sims practice yoga, meditate, jog, etc.
- Boarding school (residential): for my rich sims to get the most exclusive education.
- Arcade + cafe: again a multipurpose lot with several buildings that look like a main street. It works both as a bowling alley (bar) and a café.
- Karaoke bar
- Pizza restaurant: run by an italian family
- International restaurant: this is a very interesting restaurant. Every week, my sim changes the menu and features plates from international cuisine.
- Ice cream shop / take away restaurant / weddding boutique: another retail lot. My sim only actively operates the ice cream shop. But there is also a take away restaurant that serves home made food and a store that sells wedding dresses and tuxedos.
- Yoga center / beauty salon (spa): classified as a spa, this lot consists of two buldings too. One is a yoga center, and the other one is a beauty salon where those sims that can't afford to go the Mayflower Inn can get beauty treatments. I also send my sims there to change their hair.
A few pics:
Awesome thanks!! I'll check out the lot in the gallery
Wow this is all soooo amazing!! Do you have any of this uploaded to the gallery?
Yeah it was, it was a make shift portion of the park. I did a lot of hunting for CC and MOO all over the place, but it was cool when I had it. One of these days I will do it again. Might be better choices of CC by now. This was back when the Get to Work first came out and there wasn't much to go on. I lost it when I trying to teach my daughter how to a refresh a computer and she reset my laptop back to the factory settings.

(if you have Vampires, it comes with even more gravestones to use for the graveyard)
There could also be a secret underground laboratory somewhere in the desert (especially if you've got GTW). Try making the entrance hidden with stones around it.
Maybe an orphanage would fit too, depending on your gameplay. It would need a household full of children (+ whoever owns the orphanage) though, so you'd need to manage it from time to time so the children don't turn into adults later on.
I also have a neighborhood of young families that has a Chuck E. Cheese lot. I even made a club that dresses in animal costumes and plays instruments. I want to try to make a Nasa style Museum, but I don't know if we have enough space decor for that.
@applehart Sure! This is Simmington Academy. I haven't taken any pics of the interiors though!
